I wonder why it's Dutch citizens but none of the other European countries.

i think because back when the precursor to global entry existed the netherlands had a parallel effort for automated entry and they harmonized them

same deal with south korea

dunno why we aren't linked with the uk tho

good luck on your application for a freedom demo license. I would also highly suggest applying for a permanent freedom license if you are able.

your card is not valid for use unless you sign it :pseudo:

you're almost as bad as the people that write "see id" there instead of signing

to be fair unlike most cards my amex at least does not actually explicitly say that on the back of it

speaking of which, i got a new chip and signature amex yesterday, but it doesn't have tap to pay?

tap to pay cards made a quick disappearance from the market in the us not long after their introduction, i dont know exactly why, maybe paranoia/general stupidity of americans

i haven't had a card with rfid since my debit card from 2008 at my old bank had it

one citi card I signed up for a while ago came with a separate rfid sticker I could put on my phone or keys or whatever, but the card itself didnt have rfid

but apple pay will correct all of this so its ok

I haven't had a card that wasn't tap to pay since they introduced them and I haven't seen a new terminal that doesn't have tap to pay or that does have a smart card slot.

this is why i'm confused, all the new payment things have them but my discover and amex don't. i'm not surprised that my credit union doesn't have fancy cards because its a small credit union but amex and discover?

unless you exclusively use your card at gas stations, 90% of the terminals you have used have the smart card slot, they're just usually hidden on the bottom

they're really badly placed and not self evident at all on the American ones, I really don't get it
