Help getting cash out.
Hi guys,
I am visiting Atlanta next week, and I was wondering, can I use my solo debit card from HSBC in the US.
I spoke to a member of staff at the bank, and I must have got the dozy one or somthing, cause she didnt know a thing!
Anyone know??
Regards
Col

Yes you can if it has a cirus or maestro logo on the back of the card, but you'll be charged so much its not wirth it. Get some travelers cheques or cash before you come, its cheaper.
I like Atlanta a lot!

I am from Cambridge, UK.
The reason i want to withdraw cash whilst out there, is I get paid midway through my trip! So i want to be able to get at my cash.
I can transfer it to my credit card but that takes 3-5 days!
Does anyone know how much they charge you to take cash out via the solo card?

Funny story about cash withdrawls from when the Memsahib was in the UK back in 2002. She was taking money out of an atm in Liverpool & happened to notice she only had 9000 left as available funds. Panic time ensues, I have lost over $ 4000 she cried....till I pointed out that at that time 9000 quid was $ 13 500.... And she works as the financial genius at her office too. :rolls:

You can use your meastro card but I don't find at very many places. I use my Visa and get a much better rate than if I took cash. In the summer I got £1=$1.75 and when got home with Visa I was getting it at £1=£1.82 and 25 days credit.
I always take a little cash for coffee at Starbucks but use Visa if I buy anything else.

Re: Help getting cash out.
Hey,
Thanks guys for all of your help, this forum is always a reliable source of information.
I reckon I will take around a hundred bucks with me and then use the cash machines, there must be a few of them around Atlanta.
Thanks again people.
Kind regards
