As I reported earlier, my USAA MC worked great for buying train tickets in Brussels this Spring. I'm pretty sure it was an SNCB machine (do they have others or different kinds? I don't know...). Of course this was the "old" USAA card that specifies offline Chip+PIN as the first CVM for purchases - what jeffjaguar likes to call a "true" C+P.
I will use this card until it gets replaced next year by an updated brain-damaged version. Cr@p!!
