Ahhh, I see. My mistake. I agree, I wish the US would go to a more secure CC system. Even having a PIN code with a CC would be a huge improvement, but nope. Let's just have the type of card where if you get hold of someone else's card, you can just buy whatever the fuck you want until they block it.
Retarded system.

Cheers man, no mistake. We just use the same names for different stuff, my mistake for not being clear.
Our CC's up here are all chipped now. So, you need to use a pin with them as well. Apparently you guys should start seeing
chipped cards though it might take a few more years. I guess it all depends on how bad the fraud gets down there. There was a really big push up here when fraud hit 15% on the old cards and they went from a 5 year switch over to 3 years.
It'll be nice, really nice.
