Actually, most places WILL take the old 'swipe' cards. But most cashiers and either never worked with or forgetting about swipe cards. You just have to be very verbal and upfront and let them know yours is a swipe/ swipe and sign job.
- untog 13y agoMany won't take it though, because of the increased fraud risk. I agree that the majority of cases are simple misunderstanding, but that isn't always the case.

The machines are still physically capable of reading swipe cards, but the supermarket simply won't let you, presumably exactly because of this risk. Note that a lot of places wouldn't accept credit cards in the first place (swipe or not), only debit cards.
