Again, for US cards, these PIN codes apply to either ATM cards or for
credit card cash advances (using your credit card as an [expensive]
ATM card).

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.
Not sure if this applies to Americans, but when I lived in Canada, I
had a 5 or 6 digit pin
code, but internationally, pin codes are only 4 digits. If you have a
longer pin code,
change it to a 4 digit one before travelling.

2 years ago I was back in Canada, visiting, and in a small restaurant,
I noticed the familiar
chip and pin reader. When I remarked on it, they said it was a new
system that was coming
in but even the bank didn't know how it worked yet. I said, let me
show you and paid for
the meal with my UK chip and pin card.
