I think because it is UnionPay...
[QUOTE=MajukiFor example, I remember in June at a McDonald's in Sydney the cashier was frantically searching for a pen for an A$8.10 transaction (posted as US$7.59). In contrast, most fast food places in the US have VEPS enabled.[/QUOTE]
I've been living in Australia and New Zealand for a month, this has been happening all the time
One interesting thing (maybe off topic), I used my Schwab Debit once at an un-manned gas station. When I chose CHK (it's a debit card, linked to my checking account, right), the transaction was denied. When I chose CRD, and entered my PIN, it worked. I was left confused...
Anyway, I now know I've got a Chip and Pin card as my last resort, albeit if this debit card is still considered Credit, I'll pay the CC surcharge (in Australia and New Zealand) and earn no points or miles... Luckily gas stations here don't charge CC surcharge, but Novotel charges 2%...
