This must be regional because I have been using a chip-and-pin card for the last 5 years and I cannot for the life of me remember the last time I had to physically swipe the card. Tap support is definitely still spotty but that is something that is more of a convenience than a security issue
- Shared404 4y agoAlso US based here, and can't remember the last time I had to swipe. There are even places with no swipe, where we can only use chip.
- dave5104 4y agoI also can't remember the last time I had to swipe a card where I am in the US. I also prefer using Apple Pay, and tbh, can't remember the last time I had to use my physical card.
- twunde 4y agoIt's still relatively common to have to swipe cards at gas stations in the US when you're buying gas. And a fair amount of the parking meters may still be on swipe (NYC meters outside of Manhattan come to mind). The places that haven't upgraded are ones with a lot of POS stations to upgrade.
- jacobmartin 4y agoYep these two places are very common to be swipe only. I have to go a human teller at <massive and famous hospital> to pay for parking and the cc machine will still only read swipes.
