The tap zone is often not clearly marked. Some places (e.g., Walmart) it doesn't work at all (yes, even using a card instead of a phone). If you pull the card out anyway, I find that I end up having to use the chip about one time in ten. If that were, say, three times in ten, I'd just stick to inserting the card in the chip reader. Those rarely seem to fail.

- devilbunny 11mo agoYou must have some old cards, then. I don’t think any I’ve been issued in the past five years have a chip but don’t have tap-to-pay. (Gift cards are usually swipe-only, for cost reasons.) But good point.
