advice on phils

[Mrs Daddy]

just be careful wherever you go specially with pickpocketers.

I had many problems with ATM machines this last visit.

Basically my cards worked in shops/hotels/resturants fine, however ATMs just didn't want to know. These were the same machines and same cards that worked 12months ago.

I called halifax & they said they put anti fraud measures on the cards, they removed the restrictions, however 2 weeks later still not working. Of course on the way home in amsterdam airport they worked fine...

So try and take hard cash for the entire visit. Or perhaps transfer some cash into her account. Or have online xoom transactions set up, etc, etc..

Just stay away from the Mancs and you'll be fine.
