Just a quick check the cc I plan to use in US, I don't know the actual PIN number. Do we still sign out there?
 
Yes you will still sign when using it. You don't need to know the pin number , unless you were using an ATM machine to withdraw $
 

I've just come back from a business trip to Portland (Oregon). For the first time ever the cashier was told by the card machine to stick the chipped card into the reader. I then had to enter the PIN and they went on to still take the signature. That's how it should be done. They get the PIN to verify who I am and I can always ask for the signed scrap of paper to verify that it was me that made the purchase.

I don't know what would have happened had I not had the PIN.

I found myself without a credit card the last time we went, (Sept just gone), so I took my dad's card, and not only did I not need the pin, nobody even looked at the signature. He's still paying for it :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2

(only joking)
