This shouldn't really be anything the user has to deal with. They just changed the law about who is responsible for fraudulent transactions. If the merchant has a chip reader but the card does not the merchant gets to tell the credit card company they pay for any fraud on chip enabled cards. Once that happened, suddenly the big card issuers were all about issuing cards with chips in them.
Of course, if the card has a chip and the reader doesn't have a chip reader then fraud now lands on the merchant. So I wouldn't be surprised if it was the CC companies pushing for the change in law.
Well, if you do it phonetically.
Do you have a checking account? I can teach you. To start with, put a large number in the "Amount" box, then write out that same number in words on the line below. Next, on the "Pay to the order of" line, write "Joel...
it's still not even close as slog sounds nothing like sold, you make totally different movements with your mouth to sound them out. I don't mind fixing typos but the thing that gets me is when they add stuff to the dictionary. I hope there is something to restore all dictionary settings to default at the end of the year
Ya know what? Just sign the signature line and I'll take care of the rest.
What do you mean? Soldier, rhymes with "lager" and "Frogger",
I might be more into a round of Crystal Cast-Ales though.
Don't do that he's trying to trick you. You should avoid such tricks by using western union. In fact I just happen to be in need of some help getting some money out of the country, from my rich uncle who died, which I would of course split with you!
but they're listening to every word I say
That's good--babies are not allowed to write valid checks.
Children on the other hand...
As for dogs, that's still up in the air.
How does that work for debit cards? I had an old non-chipped card lifted and the thieves took out $500 at a cash machine. I reported it at the bank and eventually got my money back but from the sounds of it from the teller it wasn't a guaranteed thing.
Its not...
I mean it's not cu

In the UK, I think the limit for contactless is £20, although it was £10 when it first launched (iirc).
I read recently that if you do too many contactless payments in a certain amount of time, the next time you try it will force you to use the chip and pin.
It was a real culture shock when I used my credit card in the U.S. a few years ago, and all I had to do was swipe. I think you only had to use the chip and pin if it was over a certain limit ?
We've had chip and pin in the UK for a decade, I think, and it's everywhere.
I do love contactless, though.
This is how it happened in the UK, I think.
A lot of smaller shops, and some large chains, were dragging their heels in getting chip and pin readers installed, after the card companies made chipped cards standard.
After a few years, the card companies said from x date, if fraud was committed at your store, the insurers would only cover the loss if you had chip and pin. If you just had the swipe type reader, and someone came in with a stolen card and bought a pile of stuff, the store wasn't covered for the losses if the card owner challenged the card usage.
Full coverage came pretty fast after that.
I'm in Liverpool. £30 would get you a double vodka and lemonade, two pints and a bottle of wine.
Not great wine, but still.
Just havs to my tears with a 12% cut and a satisfaction that I can get him to say, Royce was right, Royce is always right because Royce assumes he is wrong first and works damn hard to get right.
Buying things during my trip to Germany would usually go something like this:
When I went to South Korea last year I don't think I used my chip even once, it was all still magstripe.
were you wearing sneakers and a baseball cap
I was literally wondering this the whole time I was there.
Two revenue streams motherfuckers! I am the alpha male, creator of opportunity!
I saw a group of three in the park today and when I was walking towards them I thought, "those guys sure look and move like Americans"
And as I walked past them, they were indeed talking to each other with American accents
True story
I know Americans are taller than average, but I didn't feel especially tall when I was in Europe. I'm also (for all intents and purpose) ethnically German and on at least one occasion did a double-take because I saw a guy who looked like my dad. There's just... something I guess, though. I also would generally get asked stuff in English before I even said anything.
I don't really neither
And my job involves the payment on money in various ways on a daily basis
Cheques are bloody pointless, really
It's weird, I had a fellow student tell me that people in America would instantly recognize him as German, he blamed it on his haircut
Apparently one time he was walking around alone in Arlington National Cemetery and someone suddenly yelled "Kraut" at him
I don't think it's height, if they were going off height they'd probably assume you were dutch. I do think Americans have a culturally identifiable way of moving and holding themselves, though. And nobody in Europe picks me for foreign until i open my mouth.
Apparently I can spot an American by his gait from fifty meters away
One is stealable from a decent distance, the other requires you to have it on hand to steal the information on it.
the difference is pretty simple
A magnetic strip is only able to hold a tiny amount of data. Specifically the data it holds is the number on the front of your card. All the strip is doing is instantly inputting that number into the reader instead of the store clerk manually inputting it through the touchpad.
The chip, on the other hand, holds an encrypted code. It is not the number on the front, it's a much much larger number, and that number is a) verified by other data on the chip, and b) never actually communicated to the store computer. A chip can't be cloned as simply as a magnetic strip, in fact I don't think they can be cloned at all. If you need a new one, the encoding on the old one is canceled and stops functioning.
Put simply, the mag strip is like a secret code and a chip is like a fingerprint scanner.
Someone can over hear you speaking a secret code and then use the code themselves, but they can't use your fingerprint unless they have your finger.

Ein Deutscher immer kennt ein Amerikaner
(I'm sure that's not grammatically correct, I've forgotten most of my German)
America is like a jrpg, dance battles popping up everywhere. Hence why we're so fit and light on our feet.
