I can't enter a 6-digit password when swiping my card at the hotel. The first four digits of my Construction Bank card are locked. Can a magnetic stripe card be used in Norway ?

Magnetic stripe cards can be used, just pay attention to the speed of swiping the card. Last year, my chip card was stopped due to theft after only a few days of use. I had to rely on a magnetic stripe card for the rest of my trip, including eating, staying at hotels, shopping at supermarkets, refueling, taking ferries, parking, and even using the restroom. I had trouble swiping the card at first and had to try several times before getting it right. But then, a kind man on a ferry patiently taught me the right speed to swipe the card, and from then on, I was able to swipe it successfully every time.
