Hello everyone.
Has anyone tried using NOL cards at convenience stores? I’ve heard mixed reports about whether these cards, typically used for public transport in Dubai, can be used for purchases at retail outlets. Some say certain convenience stores and grocery shops accept them, while others claim it’s only for transit services. 
I recently tried using mine at a local shop, but it didn’t work. It would be great to get a clearer picture of where NOL cards are accepted outside of transportation. Any insights or experiences to share? 
Thanks in advance for the help!
