It's a known fact that credit card machines are incompatible with Chicago cabs. Something about the yellow paint always manages to break the machine

Nope ...

It depends on the cab company. Some might use a merchant processor that doesn’t accept Amex. If the driver says they don’t credit cards, that’s just them wanting to take cash so they don’t have to report the income

My other Amex cards work fine. And my Gold Amex works everywhere else. It’s weird. Happens every single time. And Amex doesn’t see the transaction attempt even though the cab cc machine shows decline

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
