We're getting there, albeit very slowly. Almost all the new readers I see at major stores now have the slot to slide your card in for the chip and pin. Every Target store I've been to appears to have been upgraded. Wells Fargo has also started rolling out chip and pin credit cards, not sure if it's by default or not. I've had one for probably a year now. That being said, I have no idea if the chip and pin even works end-to-end yet, as I haven't tried it. I'm likely part of the problem! Also, we'll see what happens with the liability shifts in the US. Right now consumers have it fairly good with regards to fraud protection and getting reimbursed.

  Is it a new thing? I got a red card visa last year and it doesn't have chip and pin.

  Not my one, at least. It's a regular old magnetic strip, without any chip at all.

Most places, the readers don't seem to be hooked up yet. Least the ones I tried in 7-11 and Lowes did absolutely nothing. Haven't tried many other places. I've had a lot more luck with contactless readers, Walgreen's, CVS, even Jack in the Box seem to have those working well, with 7-11 again not having theirs working.

  Lowes in Canada still doesn't have chip and pin yet. They are one of the last stores in the country that hasn't switched yet. Their readers don't even have chip readers, at least at the stores I've been to.
