Thanks! I could see that tags are missing from new post. Something changed?
Yes! They've been moved to the bottom rather than the top.
Couldn't figure out where the options are in the bottom. For me its empty

So almost 7 months after the chip requirement for cards and stores still aren't accepting it.

It's America, so I can guarantee within 10 years, at least 50% of all stores will have it.

Do they really want your money or just your card details?

What I don't get is they are on the hook if someone gets your CC number from swiping on their system. So it only takes one person to have their number stolen for it to cost more than just turning on the chip reader that already exists in their terminal.

I mean even Square has the chip reader and its bundled with an NFC reader for phone payments. And it's like $49. There isn't really any excuse.

No, that's not what the numbers say and not how it works. It's the credit card companies that have to pay for the chips and they are the ones that say that it is not worth it.

What's the point of accepting it? It's not chip AND pin, it's just a farce.

Except who has chips? We've asked for nine years now for chips and can't get one. So if no one has them, that's not a risk to stores.

it seems a lot depends on the card too. My debit card is chip and asks for my pin.

All of mine have them. AMEX, PNC, Capital One, and Citi.

That is just more of Scott being overly dramatic. Typical.
All of mine are chip. None are chip and pin yet.

You are processing the transaction as a debit transaction, not a credit transaction. Those have always been PIN transactions.

Well, it's the "something you have and something you know" thing, which if you recall Bank of America first implemented not by asking for an RSA key or something and a password, but rather a password and some other question, and every other bank followed suite. Regulations mean nothing if no one follows them, and literally nobody follows some of them.
So from pretty secure, to a password and the answer to a question most people can find out reading your Facebook.

Ah ok. At Walmart it required me to use the chip part even as debit. So I figured it was a bank thing.
