Hey Everyone,
Credit card question. I have an American credit card, and an Argentina credit card. Whenever I use my Argentine credit card, it works fine (well, except for the times when the store/restaurant says their machine is out of order, which is too much - those situations aside, it works perfectly). However, whenever I use my American cc, it only works about half the time.
I never understood why. Until I was at a restaurant the other day, and the very friendly owner showed me the machine, and we fiddled around together, and clicked some buttons, and we got it to work! It was an option that entailed us typing in the number manually - but hey, it wasn't rejected! I have no what we clicked, though.
So....! Here's my question for everyone. When a store/restaurant says that a foreign credit card doesn't work, is there something we can tell them ("Hey, if you click option X, and then Y, you can then input the number and it will work!") so they know what to fiddle with to get it to work?
Thank you!!!
