I wrote very clearly, FirmwareBurner: if you did not understand, re-read what I wrote and make the mandated effort. If clarifications are useful, ask for them. Nobody told you I live in Austria. The information I have is based on my research, which is unfortunately bound to be limited (which also implies, it was unsuccessful in finding around alternatives to the current mess). I have also been in Austria and made my limited queries (not only as I have not visited every bank, but also as it did not happen in the past months, and some of the systemic changes are only weeks old): those queries have been unsuccessful, like in other territories. And very clearly, the point was beyond bank cards - it is about binding trends, as I wrote very literally -, which are mentioned to make an example. And if you have good information, share it, or you are being unhelpful, further to your unhelpful attitude towards comprehension. > fantasy scenarios for strawman arguments Logical process, induction and deduction, probabilistic. Maestro is gone, and it is the last international channel with "traditional" service I knew. In some territories, local channels have been shut down. I have been in a few banks of "your" territory, they did not offer said service. Web sources have not shown solutions. All of this does not promise well. And I have not made factual statements: both times I asked in this branch I made direct questions. If you, from this, could deduce "Oh, but see: Austria reveals to be an exception", because you retained services that disappeared elsewhere, then the original point would be corroborated by the fact that elsewhere those services disappeared.
