A question and a comment about this card/service.
Question:
I don't think I have ever used mine to get cash from an ATM overseas.
Is there a way to check to make sure my PIN is correct before I go, to make sure the card doesn't get eaten by an ATM?
Comment:
Do you think they meant Fall Back, by any chance?
What if my account balance runs low?
"GAIKA FULL BACK" will cover

Re: Prestia Global Pass
I think I may have answered my own question. I can just use the ATM in Japan (duh).
This account was basically set up to save some foreign currency for trips so I never touch it. The idea that i can withdraw money from it in Japan as well as use the 'global' functions never crossed my mind.

Re: Prestia Global Pass
I want to say that the amazing thing about it is the free ATM withdrawals. I had to spend a good amount of time overseas during the holidays and when I withdrew from ATMs it would warn me about foreign ATM service charges (around 750jpy each use) but when I checked on the app, Prestia would reimburse me every single time.
