my JP post card is unfixable, usually they can just scan it to fix the magnetic strip/data but that doesn't work anymore. I went the bank a week or so ago to try and issue a new one, they took my zairyu card for confirmation of my ID as usual.
Well the staff member said she wasn't able to issue me a new cash card because there was a problem with my zairyu card. she said the IC card inside the card was broken so i need to go to immigration and get a new one. I've never had this problem before with JP post. Last year i lost my card in Aomori and was able to order a new one just through the normal procedure.
As far as i am aware the Zairyu Card doesn't even have an IC card inside it. Am i missing something or is the staff just misinformed? I think the main problem was that my JP post card is also a Suica. and they can no longer issue that specific card, i told her that was okay, but for some reason it seemed to confuse her.
