I, too, am a Canadian who is used to the Chip cards. I feel so much safer using them than the old technology of swipe the card and sign the receipt. HOWEVER, in May and June 2012, my wife and I visited 15 States (all the way to Nevada) and, although I used my credit cards at least once every day, was quite taken aback to discover that the very technologically advanced USA had not heard of Chip technology! I was taking a risk using my credit card, but, fortunately, nothing untoward happened. Maybe you Americans had better start badgering your credit card companies to get into the 21st Century!
