I don't know whether the person you mentioned above has an AUTHENTICITY to interpret on state dept,Treas. dept,or CIS info'or any dept for that matter (For your info'-I am not at all and a novice!) or I do not know in which context it was quoted or it might have been quoted in totally different context .Pl.excuse my ignorance.!if I am wrong.AmericanWannabe said:But JoeF said GC has no meaning outside USA
Participant said:'U.S. citizens and PERMANENT resident aliens are prohibited from using credit cards in Cuba. U.S. credit card companies do not accept vouchers from Cuba, and Cuban shops, hotels and other places of business do not accept U.S. credit cards. Neither personal checks nor travelers' checks drawn on U.S. banks are accepted in Cuba. '
So above PR for me means nothing but GC.
Is it issued by an org. in US ?AmericanWannabe said:Is a Master card issued outside USA considered a US credit card
for this purpose? I think Master itself is a US company.
Participant said:Is it issued by an org. in US ?
which co. charging you and to which co. you are making payments.Is it in US?That may give further clue about the issue.
Further info' for you.see the link.(Don't know how far authentic this one is).AmericanWannabe said:What I meant is: a lot of banks in other countries issue
credit cards in their own currencies. Dealing with them
does not directly involve USA. But these credits cards
could use Master and Visa logos, which are owned
by USA companies. So when you make a credit
purchase, at least 4 parties are involved -
You as a customer, the shop as sellers, the bank
as credit issuers, and Master or VIsa International.
JoeF said:The US can of course give you trouble in the US when you do things outside the US that they don't like. Going to Cuba is one of these things.
