Does anyone know if you can use a UK Makro card to gain entrance to the Makro near Algarve Shopping?
Thanks.

I know quite a few people who use their UK Makro card without any problems.

I look suspicious, I know, that's probably why I always have to show it
.
Anyhow, I never think the cashier will refuse your money if you don't have a (your) fiscal number.

We are always asked for our fiscal number and to make life easy have it with us.
They will not take UK credit cards either.
