Cash machine swallowed my card..help!

Options
Ok, so this has literally just happened. It was a link machine at a Sainsbury's local. I went to get money out and at the "please take your card" stage....my card failed to return.

Who do I contact? Link? I'm at bloody work, so not even sure I'll be able to cancel it until tonight as I don't have the security information for my bank. GRR!

    I prevouisly worked in cash office at Morrisons - your card is sitting in the machine, and will be sent off to the bank cut in half.

    No need to worry about someone getting their hands on it...but you will need to get a new card.
    People don't know what they want until you show them.

    You jus need to contact your Bank and let them know what's happened and they'll send a new one out.

    You obviously have access to the internet, so visit the card provider's website which will have the necessary contact details on. :)

    Staff at our Sainsburys store have no access to the cash machine there.

    You don't need any security information, you just need their phone number; they'll stop your card and send out a new one.
  • Thank you all!
