SSSttttt . nanti do ' i pers conference lagi loh . <| sep |> I recently returned from a several week 4 country EuropeAfrica trip and had zero issues using my CSR . Didn ' t even have to inform Chase of a travel advisory . Also used it in Central and South America several times in the last few months . The only country I ever received ' complaints ' for my sig requirement was in Australia . The few who had issues were extremely arrogant towards me , and seemingly all Americans in general , and was solved mostly by nodding or shaking my head and ignoring their rants while I signed . Also , make sure to sign your cards . I was once at the butt end of a longwinded rant about Americans and how my CC sig did not completely match my ID sig . Several times I ' ve received confused looks abroad but mostly I just make sure to inform them it ' s signature while they process the payment rather than waiting for the receipt to print and them handing me the terminal by default . You will also receive smiles and thanks for having your own pen ready to sign ifwhen they obviously aren ' t carrying one .
