Traveling with an Amex - will I be able to use it widely in Polandor should I carry a backup Visa/Mastercard?
I was able to use Amex at Marriott and one nice restaurant in Kraków, but smaller spots didn’t take it. Poland is very card-friendly,just not so much with Amex. Carry a Visa or Mastercard for everyday stuff.
Had no luck with my Amex in Gdańsk. Tried to pay at a pharmacy and a train ticket kiosk, both declined. My Revolut Visa tapped just fine. Amex is really hit or miss here.
nah Amex is not great here. even chain stores like Biedronka or Żabka don’t accept it. had to switch to my Mastercard half the time. better to not rely on Amex alone.
Used my Amex in Warsaw at a few hotels and upscale restaurants, but most cafés, shops, and even some museums didn’t accept it. Visa worked everywhere though. Definitely bring a backup.
