Chase Chips bigger than everyone....

[Gregory1776]

Why are Chase credit💳 chips bigger than other cards? They look so much better. Lol

Chase uses an 8 point contact, whereas most everyone else has 6 pins.

As to why...? dunno

My Amex Platinum uses an eight point contact like Chase.

Didn’t know about the 8 point 6 point contact things. TY.

Because your cards likely don't have contactless built into them.

So my Amazon is contactless?

Was talking about American Express cards.

I'm pretty sure that means that the Amex is contactless, you can just wave or tap over a terminal and pay. I just recently read here that the Amex with contactless has a matte plastic back vs metal, like the non contactless version.

I wonder if that means the Chase card is contactless as well? Or if they just use a different version/brand/model chip?

Based on this I am guessing the CSR is not Contactless...
