"MasterCard has advised customers of a work-around they can try: using their three postal code numbers followed by two zeros. This apparently also works with some other cards. Pickford, who is a travel journalist, said he’d never been advised of that trick before his trip to Detroit."
Sounds like his beef is with Mastercard. That being said, it's a totally shitty thing to happen to anyone in Detroit. I agree, we are just walking ATM machines, car lots, and our homes, department stores, in Detroit.
