I recieved my new chase card today with the chip.

What are you so afraid of?

He thinks taking the chip means accepting the antichrist and condemning his soul to hell.

I actually like just sliding my card and just go. Instead of leaving it in the machine and waiting.

lol

The chip is a pain in the ass. I don't know what the point of it is...do you?

Exactly. I would like to prolong that pain in the ass. Lol

The Chip is an RFID device. It carries a unique number that is assigned to you, just like the old MAG-Stripe except 1 thing.

It can be activated by sensors (RFID readers) anywhere.

Just like the ones used in Tollways

In other words it can be used to track you.

Would I be able to use my old one until it expires?

no

I haven't even activated the new one yet though.

you will soon be deactivated, or just accept your chip

How? It expires November 2017.

Chase's next card, won't be a card just the chip by itself...please report to the J.P. Morgan/ Chase mobile van for your implant inoculation

for your protection and security of course...

No OP you cant...i know because i tried...eventually (around 30 days) you will get a text from chase saying your old card expires in a week...and they won't undo that cancellation for anything. bastards.

Here in Australia we've had the chip in our cards for the last 5 years, its for contactless transactions ie if the retailer has a contactless eftpos machine you just tap your card near it and away you go.

The chip is easy to disable, just shoot a hole punch through it. The magnetic strip will still work, just not the chip. I've done it to both my credit and debit cards, mainly because of theft/card skimming issues. I dont know about the states but here most contactless cards have a $100 no-pin limit, meaning if someone were to physically steal the card they'd be able to buy products up to $100 until the card is stopped.

I dunno about it being "the mark of the beast", the same thing was said about barcodes when they were introduced. It'll be in the form of a chip, just not in your credit card.
Hope this helps!

Fuckk. Well that's shitty. :/

Make sure you have an RFID blocking wallet.
There are many types out there.

Don't try to carry it around otherwise.

throw it in the garbage.

and then sue them if they ever automatically cancel the other card before the expiration date.

tell them you needed money that night, and a relative almost died because they switched over.

legally they can't switch over just cuz they mailed you a new card and your other one has NOT expired. unless you have given them permission


and it's wise only to keep enough money in the bank for monthly bills.

figure out other ways to hide your 'wealth'

seems odd how you have to leave the card in for a while doesn't it?

there's no good reason for it... like having to wait for the register etc.

the reader could snapshot your chip and hold it in memory etc while it waits for the register

it's an obvious maneuver by the banks to skyrocket fraud from cards left in the machine... many cards don't have pin numbers

once people complain about it they will be told to use a phone instead which is what the banks want

credit cards are on the way out

Yes your credit card now has a Chip, similar to your ATM/debit card, how is this something to fear? You can have your transactions password protected as well! It's not as if Implanted the Chip on you? There are chips everywhere: Your phone, your computer, your (new)car, your TV, your cable box-DVR. It's there to monitor everything from theft and fraud to surveillance-police states personal information gathering for future uses!
As long as It's not implanted on "my" body or my loved ones bodies; it's my personal choice but others may differ even on that. Obviously its mostly for no good purpose but it here and you can either live off the grid(come to think of it the even the power meter has a RFID chip now days) or live normally and limit your indiscretions.

The implementation of the "chip" cards is now in part. Because for local point of purchases it only activates its extra features supposedly of security when the business has a chip based card reader.

So...then when you order online this "feature" is useless. That would lead me into conjecture that the upcoming fuller features of this dubious tech will be on another level we are now unawares.

Keep your eyes and ears open because the Serpent likes to slide it in deep slowly sneaking up behind you. He don't want you to see it coming or be prepared in any way either. AFAIK

If I were a guessing person I would see that when SHIF they will use these card based chip trackers to limit and monitor your food rations like they did in Venezuela supermarkets for food & water. IMHO

They know how to squeeze your gonads, just now beginning. Stock up on extra food and water, keep what tools you have in your personality to maintain sanity, because when it comes it will come in a way none of us here at GLP expected.

Such are the times. Reading the Bible & keeping a sense of humor is crucial.

press it against your forehead to activate it

If you're that concerned about it; just dump chase and go with a credit union?

I was thinking about getting my nuts tatooed with a barcode that when your phone scans it would pull up 666

I actually work for a card manufacturing company.

There are two main types of chips; contactless and contact type. If your card has a contact area on the left middle then most likely it requires contact with pins much like USB.

The point of the chip is to prevent Target style attacks where the POS terminal or devices connected to the same network are infected with certain types of malware. There are encryption keys just to talk to the chip and the bank provides a different key to the chip and terminal at the time of the transaction just to secure the transmission of certain data. The terminal doesn't get any account data or pin unencrypted and would not be able to determine if a pin is correct....it is only told by the bank if the transaction is authorized or not...the data used in that transaction cannot be duplicated to attempt a second transaction. Offline terminals do exist but they work a bit differently.

When it comes down to it the chip + mag is a transition to allow backwards compatibility with retailers who dont have the chip readers.

For online internet transactions a USB chip reader will eventually be able to be bought at any retailer for a small price and will essentially provide the same level of security.

Once they eliminate the mag and readers for your PC are cheap and readily available the security will be extremely tough to crack.

OP I bet you never leave the house without your phone / tracking device. I have Chase the chip is harmless.

The chip is there to add extra security and protect you from identity theft.
