    Probably the latest FairFX cards are a new generation and behave differently to the originals. I had a FairFX euro card back then, used it in Europe for a year or so without any problem, never in UK of course. When better value products became available I unloaded it by topping up my Revolut euros with it.

    And yes, I did many Chip & PIN transactions in Aldi and Lidl while in the UK. I won't believe that won't work until I see for myself.
    I hope you didn't mean to suggest that I was making things up.
    What if I did?
