I'm guessing you are using the same PIN for your debit and credit card which makes a mistake like this more likely. If so it is advisable to change your credit card PIN to minimise the chance of the same mistake happening again.

True. In my case I do have separate numbers - so got my card swallowed as I stubbornly kept typing in the same number, knowing it was "correct".

It's also advisable to read any messages on screen, particularly the one saying "your card provider may make a charge for this transaction"...which is not displayed for debit card transactions.

True ha ha.

I think you are being a bit harsh, it wasn't obvious to me either. I had no idea what cashpoint was referring to.

Those of us old enough would have had Lloyds Cashpoint cards long before debit cards were the norm

On that logic, neither does yours. Unless it wasn't "pretty obvious" and you were really being helpful...

Best not get into that because I've got 5 people who think mine was useful whereas you only have 1...

Sorry I don't understand. You accidentally got cash out of ATM, not cashpoint. I thought cashpoint was just a term used by Lloyds bank which means ATM.

Honestly does it really matter. I think we all understand what the OP is trying to convey or perhaps you are were just trying to be clever.

Hi. I get what you mean now, sorry, I was thinking Cashpoint meant the same as Cashline or Servicetill etc.

Hope you don't have to pay much interest on your card.

See I find that slightly uncomfortable.

It seems all about who posts and gets "thanks" rather than anything else.

I thought ATM is an American term - Automated Teller Machine. Which UK banks call their cashiers 'tellers' ?

Sorry this adds nothing to help, I just felt narked on behalf of the OP !

I do agree with you but the use of the term ATM has become commonplace. I tend to say 'bank machine' in general conversation though.
