who is still using these old card? don't they expire? i mean its been like more then 10 years since we all switched to chipped cards i don't even know any place that has a strip reader or any bank that has them even enabled, i mean whats the point of adding a chip for security if your still allow strip readers...
- MBCook 4y agoAbsolutely everywhere in the US has them. They exist for two purposes: first they’re used for fall back if there’s a problem with the EMV chip. Second I’m not aware of any gift cards (except perhaps prepaid debit cards) that have EMV chips. So if you buy a $20 gift card to Home Depot for someone that’s going to be magstripe. Honestly I didn’t start seeing EMV/contactless available on gas pumps until about 18 months ago.
