An update on the chip & pin drama.....
I first tried my Barclay Chip & pin card here in Paris at an unattended purchase of Metro tickets. It worked great!! Entered the PIN and the transaction worked fine. That's nice as I see other US people getting their chip & sig cards rejected.
I even enjoyed using my Schwab ATM card for euros and they pay each and every bank fee. The exchange rate is right at the interbank rate with no games or jacked up rates.
Drama is over for me so I can continue my challenge to taste every French wine!!
