That was true a few years ago, but it’s been at least a year since I’ve seen a swipe anywhere. The change happened quite quickly. It’s all been chip, or chip-and-pin, for at least a year.
In the last 2 years, I've seen the rise of
PIN-based transactions in the U.S., and this is great.
But between San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Chicago, Hawaii
and Seattle for my 2017/2018 U.S. visits, there are just about as
many merchants supporting PIN's as there are that don't.
