[Electronics-talk] My brailled ATM cards are here

[cheez]

Don't be angry at me for what I'm about to say, but, I feel Wells Fargo did 
an incomplete job.
Okay, so what?  You have your name, the expiration date  and account number 
in braille.  But, with out that Security code, you can't make any phone or 
online purchases.
As I've stated before, my cards had all important information in braille.  I 
am absolutely disappointed and disgusted that they no longer provide the 
complete card.  And if anyone think just having what's on the card better 
than anything, in my opinion, that's sad.  For they know how important that 
security code is.  an I don't care how much information you give them via a 
phone call, they will not give you that code.  They don't have access to 
that code.
However, if you go to your local bank--as someone suggested--then the teller 
can read it to you.

Gerald, you asked about reading the card number without sighted assistance.
If you know what printed numbers look like, you can do what I do.  I use a 
stylus or pen to feel the numbers.  Now, the expiration date is a little 
harder to decipher.  But it can be done.  Sometimes I will take an open 
safety pin or sewing needle to decipher those numbers.  Caution: Try not to 
scratch the card if you use a sharp implement like a pin.
I hear ya when you say you don't trust your neighbors.  However, I think the 
odds of them being able to remember 16-digit numbers--like yours truly--is 
slim.  But then they could take a pic of it.  So, stay wise my friend.
Vince
