This is probably not news to many, but it might be worth noting for the uninitiated (as I was) that, per Amex CS, these are "chip & signature" cards, not "chip and PIN" cards. Although the chip provides an additional measure of security, functionally they're no different. They still won't work in an unattended chip & PIN terminal in Europe (or elsewhere), for instance.
