There was some sort of law passed or something requiring chips now. Most are chips, but a lot of stores are still swipe.

lol no, I have to use my chip everywhere now.

Although, sometimes the chip machine doesn't work and they make me swipe then.

No. We are in the process of phasing out swiping. Chip cards are standard now and places are slowly moving towards accepting them.

Either chip, swipe or use a phone app like Apple/Android Pay.

I do have to say, having a chip is fucking my card up pretty hardcore. Edges are all bent out.

We were late to adopt chip. Also, anecdotally: it seems like a lot of retail stores are still dragging their feet, not replacing their chip readers when they go out-of-order, placing readers behind the register and swiping your card for you, etc.

I don't understand the resistance, tbh. Yeah it costs more but the security benefits have to be saving someone (i.e. the card companies) way more than it costs to overhaul the system.

I had a chip card sent me in the last year. Most places near me only accept chip but some are still on the swipe. Overall we're heading towards chip being standard tho.

Oh yeah, I work a fast food place and we haven't switched over yet. No real sign that we'll do it until we're forced. Too much effort I guess in replacing our monitors since the slider is built in.

Stores that don't use chips are liable for fraudulent charges. Basic research would have taught you this. But informed and Rika go together like orange juice and toothpaste

Imagine being a store in 2017 and not supporting card chips, let alone paypass


Imagine using chips, but not using a PIN with them, completely eliminating any extra security for lost or stolen cards.

...Wait a second.

I haven't seen a swipe device in at least a year now. Only chip scans now.

Also this. I especially hate when I put it in upside down by accident. It also doesn't feel as fast as swiping did.
It felt so much easier to just swipe and be done with it.

Yeah most gas stations/convenience stores around here have chip readers but they're blocked off and say swipe only.

Why is this such a cluster fuck? Everyone here has the chip readers but there are some places where they still make you swipe. What was the point of getting new readers if you don't even utilize them fully?

I guess but I feel I'm more prone to forgetting which side goes in with the insert.
