I have a chip and pin visa card that also has a signiture. I have used it both
by putting a pin number in and by signing for the goods.

Hi Barry

Correct, this is because one needs a chip and signature card if one is to
use signature rather than PIN.
>This isn't to say that they cannot accept signatures,
Well can we be bit more clear here.
There are really 3 sort of cards around at the moment.
Card (1 and (2 below replace card (3
1. Chip and PIN. To use this one at point of sale, one can only use PIN.
2. Chip and signature. To use this one at point of sale, one can only use
signature.
3. Old style card signature only. This card will be replaced with Chip and
PIN by default, so one must ask for the chip and signature if one doesn't
want chip and PIN.
I think you will find it's card (3 that won't be generally accepted, because
it's not a chip and signature one!
