I'm wondering if the problem relates to "chipped" cards with the Canadian stations requiring a chipped card and a PIN number. Maybe when chipped cards become universal for US folks their cards will work at the Canadian pumps.
My credit cards did have the new security chips, but most of the pumps I visited in Canada were not yet equipped to read the chip. Most pumps in the USA (that I use) don't read the chip yet.
You must have been visiting stations out in the boonies. At least in Canada you only have to stand in line once - very few pay before pump stations.
