It`s laughable to think that Europeans don`t have credit cards.
I cannot speak for the whole of Europe but I believe that Germany has high numbers of debit cards as opposed to credit cards.
However in the UK a recent report indicated that we have more credit cards being used than people (some 67 million cards against 60 million people!).
So people having this opinion that you should send UK surfers to dialers is just crazy.
Extract from a recent report....
At the end of 2003, there were 542m payment (credit, debit and charge) cards in western Europe and, of these, 134m were held in the UK. Germany is the second largest card market in Europe, since being overtaken by the UK in 2001.
