Shit, I'd be happy if the Mobil stations near me would correctly implement chip cards on their gas pumps. Every friggin' time, they ask for a PIN and refuse to take "no" for an answer. Every. Time.
It's a credit card. It doesn't have a damn PIN in the US, and I have to go inside to pay for gas every time. I've quit buying gas at the area Mobil stations because of the hassle. Most of the other chains seem to get it right.
How is it that Europe has been doing chip cards (with PIN) for decades, and we can't get this right?
- jabroni_salad 4y agoI have CCs from barclays and capital1 and both of them let you set a PIN. It just isn't a forced workflow like with debit cards.
- mauvehaus 4y agoI inquired with the issuer. I can set a PIN for a cash advance, but not a regular sale. Which is fair, I guess. They are fundamentally different transactions with different interest rules, etc. Nonetheless, it's a very frustrating situation that the solution almost exists, but can't be used.
