I've been able to use it on unattended kiosks where I couldn't use other cards.

For instance, on train ticket kiosks in Belgium a couple of years ago, where none of my other chip cards would work.

Only other card that worked well overseas was the Barclays Arrival Plus MC, which worked at gas station kiosk in France where other cards wouldn't work. But I got rid of that card after the first year without annual fee.

Hopefully the FT MCs are around for a long time.
Fantastic news, that is exactly the kind of feedback that made me pick the FT card. I'm hoping that I have the same good experiences with it.
