Well, as far as I can tell, the GlobeTrek card didn't work anywhere in Iceland, so it was a disappointment there (which was a PITA, at one point in the eastern fjords, the easiest way for me to tank up was to pay cash to a local, and have them fill me up on their card)

I'm still keeping it, since I know it works well in the UK.

I'm in Frankfurt am Main later this month, so I'll try it there as well.
