worked for me :) in israel, they dont swipe they just write down the numbers. in zurich they swiped, though in ist they actually did the old fashioned swiping, and in kul, actually they swiped my cancelled card and it went through...
They didnt swipe once but now(i was there a month ago) and they swiped, needed to turn around and walk out :-[

This discussion perfectly fits the ethical thread. I cant believe people actually do this...
Do you know, that its possible to buy thousands of dollars of duty free items onboard with a cancelled credit card?!

And refundable tickets?
totally different, they allow you to enter and they allow you to cancel. You are not coming in from the back door or with a cancelled card, and stealing their food and drink etc.
TBC in the ethics thread.

some airlines now limit cc to $200, some require id etc over $200, and some have instant connection to get approval.
But it was not not too long ago, the days that bochurim used to wall off planes with hand luggage weighing heavier than their suitcases...

But the obvious is not common, nor is the common obvious.
Had the non-obvious been more uncommon, the common would have been way more obvious.

Just my thoughts, feel free to disagree.
