About This Clip

AmEx got declined everywhere in Poland—even at spots that said they accepted it.

Visa worked totally fine, so don’t travel without a backup card.

On a trip to Poland last year, their American Express kept getting denied nearly everywhere.

Even places that claimed they took AmEx couldn’t run it, while Visa worked without issues.

The takeaway: always carry a widely accepted backup card when traveling.

- AmEx was denied repeatedly in Poland - Some merchants said they accepted AmEx, but it still didn’t go through - Visa worked fine throughout the trip - Card acceptance can vary by country and by merchant - Bring a backup card when you travel
