Never attack, but always defend... You say a lot of things on here and do you see me always jumping on little details? Can't we all just get along and
gather some data as we need.
I stand corrected about your Shell Island comment... you were only generalizing and I saw it as being specific, I am sorry.
The bottom line is that not having pesos is not the 'end of the world'... or even a problem. Sorry if I didn't make that clear when I first responded
in this thread.
Now, have a nice day!

So sorry David. I did not realize that was simply a defense and not a specific attack stated as always, as fact. 
Guess that proves I really am stupid.

I don't think that any of Davids statements were going to do anyone harm. He has his opinions and many of them are well known and well stated.

I will ignore your gutter attack---which is expected.
And yes David, as does everyone, has opinions, and some posters actually state that what they are saying is opinion, verses fact.

David and Diane,
I am curious. Did your relationship develop in person and online or has it just evolved solely online? This internet thing never ceases to amaze
me.

per day, which is about $400-$500 usd, depending on the exchange rate. |
I am glad the ATM is still spitting out pesos---however, I think the limit is put on by the US bank because we have drawn out a lot more that 5000.00
at one time at the Bancomer in Vizcaino.
We like to take more out at one time because the fee is the same.

Back to the banking issue....
The withdrawal limit is set at the US bank - by YOU.
If you want to be able to withdraw a thousand or more dollars, all you gotta do is make that your limit and hope the atm does not run out of dinero
half way through dispensing pesos.
Another thing to remember.... you need a 4 digit PIN in Mexican banks. Since US banks encourage you to use 5 numbers, you may need to change this.

Yes, at our request, our bank raised our limit---also, don't forget to call your bank if you plan on using your ATM or after the first withdrawal in
Mexico, some will put a hold on the card---same with credit cards.
But, if you have to call to have a hold removed and use the toll free number for out of the country, a real person answers the phone---since they are
paying the bill, they don't put you on hold. At least my credit card company and bank have not put us on hold----

You set the daily limit with your bank in the US. The Mexican banks sometimes impose transaction limits ie. 5000 pesos per transaction. If your
daily limit is larger, you might have to do two withdrawals.

Just got back from a beautiful day on the water, I have read the posts and cannot celebrate so I guess I will flunk the test, but when it comes to DK
I'm afraid I will always flunk,but there is always the possibility that DK would be the one flunking.

Bancomer in vizcaino has a 5,000 peso limit but you can get 2 transactions of this amount.
The thing about people accepting dollars is that they dont mind but might only give you a 10-1 exchange so they dont have to frig around with change
or a changing rate....so dont be mad.

When I was in Ensenada yesterday I got dollars out of the HBSC Atm. Problem was they were $50's. Went into the bank to ask for change and they
wouldn't break the $50's.
Fortunately, Blanca (FM3 lady) gave me change when I went back to get my passport.
Another reason I like Blanca!

I wonder if that limit is new or maybe for Mexican accounts?? Last time down we took out 8,000.00 pesos in one transaction at the ATM and we have
taken more at one time in the past.
Before we had our bank in the US up our limit, we could only take out 5000 in one transaction----hope it does not go back to that.
