No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I know that there has to be Visas and Mastercards with these type of chips* included. Does anyone know who offers these for Visa or MC?
*Preemptively mentioning the potential security concern over these things being scanned by electronic pickpockets, but as a general rule anyone other than security staff waving anything around your rear end, as a general rule, should get a butt whooping.
Wells Fargo offers Visa payWave on its CC besides secured CC.
Random assortment that I'm aware of:
Bank of America.
Citibank.
CitiCards.
Chase.
U.S. Bank.
Wells Fargo.
HSBC.
KeyBank.
Union Bank.
I know there's more.

I have PayPass on my Gold BBRZ MC.

Really? My mother's Gold doesn't. I remember being so surprised that they were treating PayPass as some sork of perk. Ah well....
Personally, I find these RFID chips have no advantage vs magnetic strip. You at most only save two seconds when using RFID.

Where the scanners are available, I find them more reliable than the magnetic strip. Please swipe again, wrapping the card in a plastic bag... I like the versatility of having both when I can.
I only have it on my two visas. (chase and wells)
