I will post here which of these cards are Chip-and-PIN enabled (if any, although, I am hopeful from AA100k's posts that, perhaps, Chase Amazon Prime VC is Chip-and-PIN enabled). I will post my findings here after the Thanksgiving.
I am taking one for the team.
Do you have any recommendation/advice about the self-service machines in Amsterdam? Do you want me to try any particular location/store/terminal/service?
My Citi AA Exec card did not work in the machines there for the local subway/trains. I think it did work in the NS rail machines but I can't remember. My debit card did work where it didnt.
