Discover Zip and AMEX ExpressPay - Visa? MC?

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.

The Best Buy Reward Zone MC has this feature, but only for the Platinum. (MC calls it PayPass.)

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.
