Whistler ATMs

Anyone from the UK used the ATMs with a UK bank card? Any problems? Any
hints like the best one to use?

Thanks

Hi Janice,

I went to Whistler in 03 & 04 and had no problems withdrawing cash. I
think I used the ATM next to the Whistler gondola at least a couple of
times. Can't recall if I used my Visa credit card or Maestro/Cirrus
current account card - however, I've just got back from Banff (Feb 05)
and used my Natwest Maestro/Cirrus card from three or four different
ATM's without any problem. Have been charged a couple of quid per
transaction, so I'd recommend getting at least $300 a time - but guess
the charges are unavoidable.

Hope this helps.

Maybe with a gold card you can avoid them ? (but the Gold Card costs
more to begin with)...

Visa and Mastercard are accepted in most places it seems...

In Banff last year I found ATMs that accepted Mastercard/Maestro were much
more common than those that took Visa. In fact I only found one bank in
Banff with ATMs that took Visa. No idea if Whistler is the same, but it's
probably worth taking both types of cards - if you have them.
