Anyone have Chilean Pesos

If you are going to Chile and plan to use ATMs, check with your bank to make sure your card will work. We went about 7 years ago and at that time there was supposedly rampant fraud within the ATM networks in Chile and all requests for money were denied by banks in the US. I had to use a cambio for change and they too had rules. Only new bills were accepted. At that time the note had to have been issued within the prior 4 years so in 2010 only bills dated 2006 and higher were accepted. The same was true when paying for a temporary visa at the airport. New bills only.

Things could be different now but it would be good to check before arriving.

We used Bank America &  Bancomer Visa & Debit cards with no problems.   I do find that first attempt with Bank Am debit card in a foreign country is often refused even though we gave filed travel notice..  If that happens check  your email.  They send a message & after you reply noproblem.
