You can use only locally issued cards for this payment/transaction
I have encountered several cases when living overseas where only locally (for the specific country) issued cards can be used for the specific type of transactions or merchants.

Things that I remember are:
  • Public transport: in Japan and Singapore only locally issued cards can be used to topup local transit stored value cards - Suica for Japan and EzLink/FlashPay in Singapore
  • Utilities: only locally issued cards could be used to make a payment via payment machines/online in Singapore

So you have some other examples?
