the GAS pump problem 2023 in ICELAND for credit cards!
Ойын-сауық
I heard many issues at the gas stations regarding credit card payments especially for US based cards so I made a video tutorial experience to go thru the steps here in ICeland.

the Truck symbol was above a button. So if you are a truck with a large tank, then you press that button then the Diesel will come out faster

Yes correct some gas stations have two DIESEL handle pumps. One for Trucks and one for cars. The nozzel pipe is also much thicker for the truck gas tanks.
Rest of world use chip and pins but usa has to do things different.

Right now the trend is apply pay or NFC contact.
Pump shows tap to pay too. Did you try that with your card?

yes both tap to pay and magnetic insert both had the problem. Apparently a few of the gas stations around Iceland are upgrading their systems.
Do these have the auto shut off like in the states when the gas is full?

I think they have those in all countries. In Europe anyway.
I found the pumps at Orkan, the pink ones, did not accept my American credit card. Otherwise driving in Iceland was awesome.

Yes ORKAN also have a similiar issue with US credit cards. Some gast stations across Iceland are upgrading their systems. Also i recommen using Apple Pay if you have an Iphone.

I was in Iceland in 2014 (pre chip for most US cards). When at Orkan, I had to leave the card inserted the whole time, rather than swiping quickly. N1 and other stations were never a problem.
The pump did ask for a credit card pin?

At the OB it didn’t ask for pin but at N1 yes.
How does Apple Pay work?

It has a contactless terminal under the pin pad if you see it that's how apple pay works it doesn't mean if they don't say they accept apple pay or have a sticker any where were tap to pay is accepted you can use it just like google pay that's how it is here in Europe every place accepts contactless every card has it unlike the US which was really weird for me

Apple Pay is actually one of the solutions in 2024

For US tourist the gas is much more expensive than the states.
