My wife had to go to Holland for a week because of family illness. While
there her credit cards were refused, because of an apparently new policy
that American credit cards without a "chip" are being refused. Chase Visa
Freedom doesn't have them, nor does Amazon Visa. Apparently a Visa Btrish
Aorways card may have a chip. Citibank was nice and is sending me new MC
cards with a chip.

If you are contemplating using your credit cards on travel in Europe
(certainly Holland), make sure you get new ones with a chip. Or be
prepared for hassles.

My chipped card only runs on 110V, will it work over there?
