in the Forest do not have card terminal?
I suspect this is limitation of your card. I saw such cards.
BTW: US is last country where my card were imprinted (embossed), it is probably
also last place on Earth where signature is needed instead of PIN.
(obviously my experience is limited, I haven't visited all the countries on
Earth)
I believe the point here was that if you do NOT have a Chip&PIN card, you may
find yourself in a situation where you cannot perform a needed transaction because
the terminals don’t have magstripe readers. This is well-documented: unattended gas
pumps, ticket kiosks, etc. Less common in cities, more common outside them.
Well, do you mean a card *without* PIN at all?
It is very rare here, even when Stripe & Sig was in common use, all
cards (with some rare exceptions for very specific cards) have PIN
assinged. So usually you had to put your signature, but in ATM or some
POS terminals you could be asked for PIN.
Nowadays PIN is default method, signature is vanishing
@TeD
We also have embossed cards but we don't use imprinters at all, for
years. AFAIR the last time my card was imprinted was Radisson Wilshire
in LA or some other hotel in Chicago. It was after 11 Sept 2001.
@Steve
I don't understand what was the blocking factor.
Technical incompatibility seem weird for me - I mean chipless card (mag
stripe only) and chip-only terminal. Usually terminals are dual function.
There can be business limitation, like "we don't accept foreign cards"
or cards in USD, or other. Usually it's the opposite - the card may be
limited to domestic market.
I also assumed even "old style" card has a PIN assigned, so you can
perform PIN transaction. - Was it the reason of the problem?
BTW: In Europe there is no problem with VISA or Mastercard, but other
brands are really marginal. JBC, Diners, or Amex card holders have to
ask whether the card is accepted despite cards are welcome.
