Hi Barry

All chip and PIN cards have to have the customer's signature on the card.

But if you had a chip and signature card, you would not be able to use a
PIN,
as you wouldn't have a PIN!
A chip and signature card, is not same as the old signature only cards, as
the old cards had no chips.
When a customer hands over to the retailer a chip and signature card, the
retailer will get a message on the machine on the lines: "refer to customer
for signature" I am not sure of the exact wording for the message, but the
point is, a chip and PIN is for Pin use, a chip and signature is for
signature use, so same card can't be for both types of use.
