I remember the raised lettering and that machine, but they still had to phone in the sale for approval if I remember correctly... Maybe it was for purchases over $100 but I recall standing around while it was approved, and being a kid, sometimes I was pretty nervous! I had a small limit, like $500. 😐
My last replacement card was the first one I got that didn't have any raised lettering.... it didn't click in until now that those machines couldn't process payments.
Maybe I'm old, but I remember people writing cheques at the cashier.
I drove from Alaska to the US with a card like that,keeping my purchases under the limit. I had a small breakdown and they never ran it or the other purchases didn't come in,as it still worked.....
Used my tax return for the next two years paying it off.
