[Gocamino] ATM cards with chips

[Glenn Jilek]

Thank you Tim, I looked into getting a chip/pin card here in the US.  It is not easy at all.  Only a few financial institutions have them available and then only to preferred customers.   It looks like the US is lagging behind the rest of the world in this! Take care,Glenn

This could be problematic for pilgrims and other travellers.  I am surprized that I have not heard more about this.  I would have had a difficult time on the Camino without being able to use an ATM machine. Glenn
