Re: Chip 'n' Pin
 

I ordered a new PIN for my credit card.

I then tried to change it at the ATM when it came through, but it wouldn't allow me to.

So I called Tesco Personal Finance and asked them why this was, and was told that I didn't have a Chip & Pin card, but I had a Chip & Signature card instead. They were phasing them in and asked me whether I wanted the new one.

I politely declined, as they only sent me this one a few weeks ago - the previous one got cloned and someone in New Jersey had a field day...

well im sorry but i really dont know how they can phase them in coz starting from january shop wont be able to accept a signature at all as mentioned previously! I have also mentioned cloned cards see everyone it really does happen.

Last week we were in a shop which was still using the old swipe machine.

yeah i think many shops still have the old swipe machines but they are trying to phase in the pin numbers
