I find this absolutely astonishing. I hope you will not demand lower prices because of your backward culture. :) Norway may be highly advanced compared to other European countries, but both VISA and MasterCard are really big over here. Banks offer debit and credit cards that fit different credit ratings and other profiles. Other companies have agreements with credit card companies to offer their most preferred customers major credit cards. My preferred airline actually picks up my annual credit card fees and offer free travel insurance when I pay for the tickets with the credit card. I have come to rely so much on my credit card that I do not leave home without it. -- Erik Naggum, Oslo, Norway Act from reason, and failure makes you rethink and study harder.
