I know a lot of American tourists have historically had issues in Sweden with credit cards not having NFC chips.
Is that still the case?
If not, I would just prepare my phone/smart watch with apple/google pay. Hopefully ATMs won't swallow those.
- wink 2y agoNever been to Sweden, so no idea, sorry. My understanding from most EU countries I visited is that VISA/MC works and AMEX usually doesn't. Also now that I think about it, most of these things (except #3) happened before the widespread use of NFC. (IIRC 2017 and 2012). My points were more "why would 100% cash-free bad", not necessarily just in Sweden.
- JBlue42 2y agoThey started issuing them with chips a couple years ago. Most should have been replaced by now. But yes, this was a slight issue when traveling in previous times. Glad the US finally caught up.
