If it`s a debit card it will seem like that is the case, but it`s not really a withdraw.
A friend used one to get 20k from a machine once and had a 5k fee added on...

Yes your right. I didnt explain this well. I bought a gift card type thing from the bank. In the US you can use them like any credit card or debit card. It is basically a temp. debit card. It has a number like a credit card, but it just says "gift card recipient" where the name would be. I could buy stuff at stores fine with it, but could not get money out of any atm. I had my pernament card with me, which has a name tied to it, and it worked fine. Which is what you were saying. I was just trying to say that temp cards do not work.
