The PIN codes issued by US banks are for cash advances only, they are NOT the "required" PIN code that European credit cards use and won't work if you try to use them for a regular credit card payment. US cards do not (in general) require a PIN code for credit card payments.

When you pay with _credit_card_ to Dutch railway ticket machines you will be asked to enter PIN code (I always do so, when I am in Amsterdam). In that aspect these machines are working like ATMs. This is a Netherlands specific, I have never seen such ticket machine behavior in other countries.

Btw, if you use credit card, you will be surcharged E0,50 per ticket.


"OV-chipkaart" logo is already seen on some ticket machines, so I would be glad to get an advice where and how these "chipkaarts" can be bought and where it can be used except for train tickets purchase.

I'll prepare information about all of this as soon as I know the
transition status during the IETF week. And in any event, there are no
early booking / online booking discounts for Dutch train tickets, and
buying online with Dutch Railways requires the iDEAL payment system that
only Dutch banks use.
That reminds me: if you intend to use a credit card in electronic contexts
(such as buying train tickets at a machine, etc.), you should make sure you
know your PIN code. On the way home from Anaheim I helped some guy who had
some problems because he wasn't even aware that his card had a PIN code.
