Go to Barclay's and get an Oyster Visa.

Or don't expect to use some services. Just like if you go to Dollar General and have every credit card but a Visa. They don't take Master Card. Or Fred's that does not take any credit card unless it is a PIN transaction debit card. There are many places in the USA that do not take all forms of payment and the rest of the world is no different.
Are you a resident of a European country? If not, how did you get one of these cards?

The Barclays Oyster is just for UK residents.

The visaeurope site is just a promotional site. Once you click on the get a card link, it simply directs you to a list of banks that issue cards. (again, you have to be a resident of the country to apply)

I wouldn't know where to start with Deutsche bank.
