card. I buy my Heathrow Connect tickets before I go online with my US
credit card. That should work fine - I was talking about trying to top up
at the machines in the tube stations which theoretically you can do, but it
doesn't work with US credit cards.
The machines want a Chip+PIN card. This amazing spreadsheet at Google
Docs has every Chip+PIN or Chip+Signature (not as good) card available
from US banks. It's a bit late to be getting one for the IETF, but it'll
come in handy in Berlin.

PS: I have a Chip+PIN Amex card, which was a major pain in the patoot to
get.
