PINS Beginning with Zero
 
Has anyone experienced a problem with a PIN beginning with Zero? I've been told that they are not universally accepted.

I had the same concern and simply changed my pin before I left and had no problem in Europe!

Kathy, mine starts with zero and I haven't had any problem.

Mine starts with zero it worked just fine last year.

I would change your pin, as you are correct. Pins beginning in 0 are not widely accepted. I learned the hard way.

Wow! I'm sure glad I heard that this can be a problem! Ken, in what country did you have problems?

I've used mine in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Spain, Portugal, France and Germany so far. No Problems. <BR>

I've used my PIN that begins with zero in France, Italy, Spain, and England within the past two years with no problem whatsoever. But if you're worried, it's not that big a deal to change it. <BR> <BR>

I also used a pin that begins with zero with no problem.
