Not to belabor this thread, but...
I was in Schiphol the week before IETF Anaheim and bought a train ticket.
*None* of the my cards worked (Amex, Visa, Mastercard, and a debit, and yes I
tried all of them). In fact, not only did they not work at the machines, but
they were not accepted at the human-based ticket counter either, despite my
having a Passport and one of the cards even has my picture on it. They had a
sign even warning that it wouldn't work without a "PIN". It was cash only, but
there is an ATM near by. I travel a lot and was quite surprised.

p.s. on the other hand they have excellent licorice and hagelslag. :)

So, with all this discussion, I'm still not clear what to expect.
When I walk up to a train ticket kiosk in Schiphol, should I expect to
be able to use my US-issued, non-chip credit card (AMEX, VISA - I
don't care as long as *one* of them works), or should I have a fistful
of Euros handy?
