can we collect some experiences about cards alive and locked?
-status: working (supposed to, can't be 100% sure up today)
-currency: EUR
-typical usage: loaded by third parties via bank wires (source bank was almost never from Poland and almost always was registered to companies, but not famous ones, also sometimes a single card could have been loaded even from more then one source, bank wires addressed always to a same person and with field "reason of the payment" even quite specific but supposed to be not too much clear to understand from someone reading) emptied in a rush as soon were loaded (ok not always so fast) and day after day in different ATM machines around (none in Poland) RARELY used online or at restaurants/hotels/shops (none in Poland)

Probably, wait some time to see how things evolve.
Mbank will be under pressure to find some solution.

I have 1 card to unlock.
What's my best option right now?
Anyone made any progress??

I could also offer a similar service but I can't guarantee success.
You need a BZ card.
How much are you willing to pay for my time doing this?
Or you can read my (free!) tutorial some pages back.
Try entering a wrong PIN in a ATM. If the card is not blocked it will tell you wrong PIN if you try to withdraw. If it is blocked you still get "unable to perform the transaction" no matter what PIN you use.
Very helpful thanks very much
To unblock your card you need to visit the bank's branch. You don't need to be a polish citizen but you need to provide an address in Poland where you are staying.
One card can be used by one person.
Notary won't help - that's what they told me. If the notary will come with 10 cards - nothing can be done.
To unblock the card - owner need to register the card online and he need to proof his ID in the mBank's branch.
No other possibilities at the moment.
Sorry.
If you tell me HOW you will cash it out, then i will give you my 9 cards with 2k€.
take care.
You will give me Your cards or use my service ?
3 possibilities:
1. Mail sent to mbank. - I've sent similar to paypal 3 months ago. Result: 2 mails sent. No docs required. Total time: 10 days.
2. I'll go to mbank branch, show my ID and company registration info, if I'll find I'll take also ghost account docs - my old business account, closed by mbank, but it's still visible and I'm paying for account which shouldn't exists. Then I'll ask them wtf they're doing. and request money from cards back.
3. official letter which will be sent direct to their headquarter. I'll send them termination of agreement and request money from all cards.
they've changed their rules 1 month ago. Everyone who exchanged bitcoins has broken their rule. Spamming them can cause permanently locked card - They have right to do it. It seems that mbank changed more of their rules.

Nah, I have 5 mbank cards. One of them had about 500€ on it and and four were basically empty. They all still got blocked.
How is possible to have a check without trying in ATM machine or POS or spending money for an online transaction?
Thanks
Try entering a wrong PIN in a ATM. If the card is not blocked it will tell you wrong PIN if you try to withdraw. If it is blocked you still get "unable to perform the transaction" no matter what PIN you use.
Nope, im just tired of being insulted for trying to help.
Yes, I figured that out, but it seems there are people still thinking about follow your suggestion.
Good for you, and im done helping.You give up?

I doubt a notary will be helpful if indeed they are insisting that only the cards of polish citizens will be unblocked.
I was under the impression they are still at the stage where they require foreigners to come in to get their card unlocked.
Any notary can do this:
http://www.krn.org.pl/1197/Znajd%C5%BA+notariusza
Enter Warszawa twice in the last 2 fields, or any other city with an mBank branch and you can spam them all to get the best quote.

Unless the polish law about these cards states the contrary (and, even so, probably, this law will be against European Law), they can't limit their financial services to polish citizens. All european citizens have a right to equal treatment.
I don't have time to check, but I can't recall any limitation on the agreement about those cards to polish citizens.
If people band together and hire a polish lawyer, he can threat them easily to return the money. This won't have to go to court, because it seems a clear case, so it might be cheap. But it has to be a lawyer, because a notary can't threat them that he will go to a court.
But better wait one month or two. They can't keep acting like this, they will have to find a solution to foreigners.

If you mean checking if the card is blocked, try to log in on their website. The card shows up as active, but maybe there is some sign that the card is blocked.
The easiest way is indeed to try to buy something with it.

Good move, however you want the card and 50% fee upfront? I doubt any member will accept that. He will be risking the card's money and the upfront.
You didn't make clear if the bank will demand the 4 digit secret code from you to unblock the card. If the owner has to send that to you, after unblocking the card you can pay yourself (with the consent of the owner) in any ATM. No need for an upfront.
If they don't demand the code and so the owner doesn't have to give it to you, even so the card will be useless, because you will have the number, expiration date and csv three-digit code (allowing you to use it on the Internet) and because I doubt the owner will trust the bank again. It isn't worthy the need to give you his address, the shipping time and shipping cost of sending the card back to the owner. Probably, it would be best for you to ask for the secret code (anyway, the owner will be risking that you will use the card on the Internet, even without the secret code), withdraw the money, take your cut and pay the owner the rest.
You would have ground to ask for a upfront only if the owner doesn't need and won't accept to send you the secret code. And, even so, escrow will be enough to protect you.
And some of the customers will say that you should also send money to an escrow, at least until you have enough reputation.
