Unleaded fuel can only be used with a chip card. POS machines at other locations can accept magnetic stripe and chip cards.

All are OK, but some places only accept Visa or Master, while American Express is not allowed.

I've been in Iceland for three days. I've used my credit card to pay for groceries at the supermarket, at the hotel, and to buy a local phone card. But no one has asked me to enter a password or sign anything. My credit card is from CMB and the gas station didn't ask me to enter a password because I bought a gas card. I'm not sure why ?
