Credit cards with or without chips

trvllady

Just wondering if anyone has used a credit card in Europe with no chip? Any problems?

No problems, they want your money! Always tell your CC company where and when you will be traveling and keep it very safe. Watch for people who bump into you, distract you, groups of children, women throwing pretend babies at you, girls dropping down to pick up a so called wedding ring in front of you and asking if the ring is yours--- this one we encountered in Paris twice! Having said all this, going with Tauck cocoons you from a lot of this stuff! Enjoy!
Now this is the Africa forum, Africa is not Europe!

Thanks for the prompt reply British. I know this is the Africa forum. Just wanted to throw the question out there.

Per MasterCard anywhere they take MasterCard they have to agree to do it both ways. If they don't call your bank collect to let them know. She said might run into problems at kiosk, but other than that should not be an issue.
