TSG Associates were trying to use their chip cards around the country over the last week – here are some of their experiences:
Colorado
- “The first dip I had was at a small liquor store in Estes Park over the weekend and then Home Depot today. I wonder if liquor stores are more concerned with fraud?”
- “My local drycleaner was under the impression that EMV was a government enforced law.”
Florida
- Sign posted at a local vitamin shop: “Until our equipment is able to take chip cards, all credit card transactions over $25.00, will require a photo ID” “All transactions over $250.00, will require address verification”
- “Just had my first dip of a chip at Home Depot – they just went live and the clerk was very well informed of the process and Oct. 1 date, etc.”
