I quote you:<blockquote>Quote
<hr>You further call Duales the most expensive REMITTANCE card without noting that it's the only one.<hr></blockquote>

You know there are other remittance cards, you even admit to OWN a Transcard yourself, and yet you will say Duales is "the only one." You repeat that line, all over this branch "the only option" blah blah blah. I call that a deliberately misinformative & deceitful lie.

You're exactly like a slimy used car salesman, LOL. Or a SHILL.

CASE CLOSED.

I have only one question and the only one that is relevant amongst all this bickering.

When Mr. John Taylor from London England walks into the Banco Metropolitano in Havana and hands them his Lloyds TSB card to get 1000 CUC's because YOU told him to take it and so that is what he is depending on for his time in Cuba,

E_A -- can you assure him 100% that they will give him the money? DO you know this from first hand experience? In the end, that is all that mattters.

Patty: I offer no guarantees. No need to: no one has ever guaranteed me anything, nor should anyone expect that.

I suggested that he check if/that his bank cards (credit or debit) will work. Then I offered another alternative. Certainly better than your faulty logic: you seem to think all debit cards DO NOT work, because Canadian 'bank debit' cards do not. ERROR! European Visa (debit) cards with no US affiliation are accepted in Cuba, in most cases.

Read more here and here. I take those cardholder claims at face value, but every traveler should check the cards s/he will reply on, no?

Patty, this link may help you. Debit cards: wiki definition We have different kinds of "bank debit cards" from the Euros' 'Visa debit' cards. There is a variety that might surprise you. I am now investigating the Cabal card - an alternative to VISA or Mastercard - which may or may not be available to me. (It works in Cuba, btw.)

If an offshore bank allows a Euro-denominated acct. with a VISA debit card at reasonable minimums/balances, that's sweet. Some even offer 2nd cards, for your granny, novio/a, student-abroad, etc. Of course there are fees; gotta look at those, closely. But this is so much more than JUST a 'debit card for Yanks,' for example: Parex online banking demo
