Traveling in Guadalupe. For safety I usually split cash, cc's' ATM cards.

I put an ATM card (not sure which one) in a ATM machine. The ATM machine stated my bank directed them to keep the card.

Called my bank and they stated they could not see any transactions, but for safety I had them cancel the card I THOUGHT I might have put in. Now I am very doubtful on what I actually put in the machine...maybe it was a cc? (I left cards home to add to the confusion).

It was a real ATM...other people were using it and another friend was able to get money out of it.

Has an ATM machine ever kept your card?

What will the ATM do with my card? Am I relatively safe since it was a real ATM?

Why would a ATM keep a card? I have never reported anthing stolen. (might have been the first time I ever used this card, but that still does not seem like a good reason)

Any other suggestions for me?
