Re: Zip code for non-US cards
I once suggested to my UK credit card company that they should find a way to assign a 5-digit PIN to people wishing to use their cards in the US which would allow them to work in petrol pumps and provide a bit of security while doing so.
You can normally use a foreign card, it just means you have to go in and see the cashier (and leave your card there, which is definitely dodgy) while you fill up, then go back in to complete the transaction afterwards. Or carry cash and use that.
