Translate Your PIN Before Going Abroad
Hi, Rudy!
Here's a tip for international travelers expecting to get cash from
ATMs in foreign countries: Convert your alphabetic PIN to a numeric
one before you leave. Why? You might get stuck with a numeric pad
that looks nothing like the ones back home -- one without letters.
To get your PIN ready for international travel and the favorable
exchange rates most ATMs offer, here's a translation guide:
2 = ABC
3 = DEF
4 =GHI
5 = JKL
6 = MNO
7 = PQRS
8 = TUV
9 = WXYZ
Another good idea: Get a second copy of your ATM or credit card, just
in case it gets captured by an improperly programmed machine.
