| Received in your latest statement was a notice that you
would be getting a new card this month and that around the end
of the month, DCU would be with the Cirrus Network instead of
the one it is with now.

| 45.4 | Rendered my card useless! | COMET::LAFOREST | | Fri Nov 20 1987 15:43 | 11 |
| The change has meant that instead of being able to use the card
almost everywhere, those of us that live west of the Mississippi
can now use it almost nowhere. However I suppose that every time
I need some cash in a hurry I can always hop a jet to Boston to
get it.
Why doesn't the board of directors think of members that do not
live in New England? They have rendered the card nearly useless
to a lot of members.

| When you are the center of the universe you DON'T have to consider
a few small groups light years away. You know outa sight outa mind.
This is the impression conveyed to me.

| 45.6 | so what? | WINERY::THOMAS | The Code Warrior | Sat Nov 21 1987 01:48 | 3 |
| Sigh, Colorado isn't the only place west of the Missisipi. Here
in Califorina, the switch has helped, not hurt. And we don't even
have a DCU branch in this state!

| 45.7 | CIRRUS vs PLUS | 29805::KINDEL | Bill Kindel @ LTN2 | Tue Nov 24 1987 14:20 | 17 |
| This argument is going nowhere. Sure, it would be nice if the DCU
card had access to both the CIRRUS and PLUS networks, but that's
*not* an option at this point.
What the Colorado Springs crowd doesn't know is that PLUS isn't an
option anymore, either. MONEC, the New England PLUS interface, has
gone out of business. With the bulk of DCU membership in "Greater
Maynard", all the old PLUS cards have become even less usable in
Massachusetts than the CIRRUS cards are in Colorado.
As a result, DCU has only three choices.
1. Issue cards which are *only* good in DCU ATMs.
2. Affiliate *only* with a regional system, such as TX in Massachusetts.
I don't think it's possible to affiliate with a remote regional system.
3. Affiliate with the surviving national system, CIRRUS.
Which one would you choose?

it more than meets my needs.

******************************************************************************
ATM NETWORK SWITCH: DCU recently changed its major national ATM network
from the PLUS system to CIRRUS. DCU made this decision based on
increasing the total number of terminals available to the membership.
Unfortunately, PLUS and CIRRUS are "mutually exclusive" companies.
Essentially forcing DCU to leave PLUS in order to join CIRRUS. We
were able to retain most of our regional network affiliations, and
more are joining monthly.
Currently, CIRRUS, EXCHANGE, CASH, TX, AMERICAN EXPRESS, MASTERTELLER
and POCKETBANK terminals are available to Easy Cash24 cardholders.
There are other local networks as well, Locations are available
by calling the Customer Service Center at DTN/223-8444 or 617/493-8444.
