I'm not sure this is useful for credit cards at all - ever since the deadline for chipped cards to roll out passed, my issuers all decline swipe transactions. Even at middle of nowhere gas pumps that don't have chip readers, I found two during my last cross-country trip, swiping the card will get a decline response.
- blamazon 4y agoMany places in USA, you can 'fall back' to magstripe by inserting the chip and having it fail to read 3 or 4 or 5 times. The reader will prompt for a swipe after the threshold of failed attempts is reached. I'm really tough on my cards and when the chip dies this becomes my routine everywhere until the new one comes in the mail.
