So I’m online today confirming my new Citi Costco card and decided that I have no life and clicked on the EMV chip card videos. The first one on train travel in France cracked me up. I was expecting (or maybe not expecting) them to show me some work around for the train kiosks since Citi fails to let you use Chip & Pin. Check it out. Pay close attention to how they give you the Hack to be able to buy train tickets, it’s awesome.
There are also 3 other videos that will teach you some other good travel hacks using your Citi card in France.

Have a man show you how it’s done
How to impress two women with your “French” skills
Oh and my review of the new Costco Citi card that kicks in on 6-20-16. It’s awesome except it charges foreign service fees of 3% 😦
Of course the smart folks in the videos won’t fall for the Dynamic Currency Conversion I’m sure….

Because we all know the line to buy a ticket from the attendant is always short. 🙂
