Do you have someone who can send you money via Western Union?Have left bank card at home and have limited cash. Walking from StJDP on Wednesday, where could I get card sent to?!
Since you are going to the SJPDP maybe you can have it sent there .there is a member on this forum let me try to find her avitar for you and i will edit this threadI don’t have any cards just 300 euros. Is there a Post Office or Post Restante or Pilgrims Office my card could be sent to. Thanks for swift response .
I think you can make it to Pamplona with no problems. But I would contact the pilgrims office in SJPDP and maybe they can help you arrange someplace to send the replacement card to..they are wonderful and always ready to help. Buen Camino.Thanks to all, I leave SJDP on Wednesday so need card to be sent on to a place down the route
Awesome Buen Camino !Card issue resolved (hopefully) first suggestion of Western Union transfer a brilliant one. Card company will send emergency cash to Pamplona. Can’t thank everyone enough for immediate responses thanks very much.
Be aware that thieves in Spain know about cash transfers, so be EXTREMELY cautious when you pick up the cash. Correos are usually safe places. Private points of receipt may be less so. Predators know where the prey can be found!!Card company will send emergency cash to Pamplona.
My favorite anecdote is about pick pockets. They hang around the stations by the signs that say "Beware of Pickpockets." It seems that many persons will tap their wallet when they read the sign, directing the pickpockets to the exact location of their money.
There is Western Union in post office at SJPP. You can receive cash there. If you have time to stay in SJPP you can ask that send you your card to pilgrims officeHave left bank card at home and have limited cash. Walking from StJDP on Wednesday, where could I get card sent to?!
Nice to hear that.Card issue resolved (hopefully) first suggestion of Western Union transfer a brilliant one. Card company will send emergency cash to Pamplona. Can’t thank everyone enough for immediate responses thanks very much.
That's right. When my husband sent me money via Western Union he didn't include my middle name, which is on my passport. When I first went to pick up the money they wouldn't give it to me because the names were not exact. My husband was able to get it changed quickly though, and I picked up my money within an hour.A minor reminder about Western Union/Correos transfers: they must be made out to the exact name spelled out in your passport. e.g., Robert James Jones, not Rob Jones or Bobby Jim Jones or BJ Jones.
