ATM ate my card meh

Update: you will never ever get your card back. Good to know :) time to enjoy my trip!!

Update: MoneyGram app to Banco Azteca worked!! Don’t do Oxxo. Learned a lot of lessons through this adventure, might make a separate post about it later.

Now it’s time to enjoy the birthday!! 🎉

Hi, I’m visiting from Canada for the week and could use some advice.

Day 0: My credit card PIN locked, and the bank will not fix it over the phone. I cannot insert the card, but I can still tap or process manual/online charges.

Day 2: My bank card was eaten by an ATM beside a bank in Old Town, and the bank does not reopen until Sunday.

I tried sending myself money through MoneyGram to OXXO, but that is down too.

I need a Plan G. Are there any expats who would consider letting me e-transfer them in exchange for cash? I will make it worth your while.

I’m hoping the bank gives me my card back Monday, but also… this is Mexico lol.

Also, this is a fresh account, but I am in fact a real human lol.

Any advice would be appreciated.
