really? do they still copy the details with a carbon machine? here they'll just ask you to put it in the chip&pin machine and authorise the deposit



>do they still copy the details with a carbon machine?

Lol. No.

I have more than 20 American credit cards plus a handful of debit cards. The vast majority of can't be copied with those old carbon machines - they are not embossed.

The last time I've seen anyone use those old carbon machines was to pay for parasailing in the Caribbean in 2009.

Same in the US except there no PIN.
