Using non-US Credit Cards in the US

[solzaire]

I learned a cheat code during my last US trip. I used to be puzzled and unable to use my credit card in certain places in the US like gas stations and grocery store self check outs. The reason used to be I was prompted for my 5 digit US zip code. Fibbing doesn't work. The alternative used to be to stand in line and pay at the regular counter. No

it's the same if you open a bank account and do not have a US address. Your zip code is 00000.

common knowledge to use 00000 for international addresses. 'ssup?

Yes, that's new knowledge...
