I left a message with Visa as well. The point is still the same. And, although it is not common, this is not the first time I have had an issue with a merchant and a chip+sig card. I am not a tourist. I currently live in England. I wish that the one chip+pin card that I have (SDFCU) would default to pin CVM just for those type of situations... and that the US would start offering more options for chip+pin.
I agree and end up using UK debit chip&pin cards just to do things more easily and quicker. Penfed is like SDFCU (I think it is made by the same group), defaulting to sig is just so useless!
