It seems that North Americans all want to bring chips, it's safer to bring them.

I rented a car in the United States and swipe cards were acceptable.

I didn't use chips in the three cities in Canada. I just pulled them directly. Of course, chip cards are more secure.

Both chip cards and magnetic stripe cards are acceptable, but for safety reasons, it is recommended to bring two cards for convenience. Fraudulent transactions are quite serious, so when using magnetic stripe cards, it is suggested to cover the security code with tape.

Can all be used, but the chip is more universal. In addition, I chatted a few words, I was stolen a lot of money in the United States, two cards (respectively, magnetic stripe and chip) were stolen, so be sure to pay attention to card security, stick to the last few numbers is one aspect, the most important is not to let the card leave your sight. . Do n't be like me, make an international long-distance call back to the credit card center to say the situation for a long time, then report to the police station in the local city of the United States, and it took a long time again. Not only did half a day of time go to waste, but it also took a year to deal with the bank after returning home. It's really "bloody", ha ha.

As long as it can be brushed, it can be done. The card for renting a car must be the card of the person who placed the order. Well, credit card fraud is serious in the United States. Everyone can search for it. The best way is to apply for 1-2 new cards specifically for traveling. One for hotel payments and one for dining and shopping. It is convenient to check the deduction merchants. In addition, write on the back of the card that a passport must be verified for card swiping. If it is stolen, the bank can only find the merchant. After returning the payment, adjust the card's limit to the lowest. Canada only has large cities that have replaced POS machines that support chips in bulk. First, the replacement cost needs to be borne by the merchant. Second, the replacement application period is long. Third, foreigners have better habits of using cards, and the banking system is also well implemented. When there is a large amount of card spending, foreign banks generally contact the card user to verify. If it is stolen, they directly protect the card user, and the bank and the merchant will argue.
