But I am sure some people have complained and it is more on mc/visa for having allowed this to continue. And I think you would agree; it would not be economical for the US banks to embrace chip and pin with all its added costs, at least to their eyes, just so a few tourists could use their cards on the Amsterdam public transport system. Now if you couldn't use your chip and signature cards in the Paris Metro, that might be a different story, eh.
