I have a Postinance MC Credit card - in most cases I have to sign, the pin is not requested... in a few places though (gas stations) I have to enter the PIN (no signature)...
What does it depend on whether in a store I can pay using chip & PIN? Any ideas?
Thanks, kzs
Depends whether the shop has online access to the card issuer. If so, they can immediately get authorization. If not, they want your signature and maybe additional identity for big purchases.
