I have only one PIN.

Just because the card has an offline PIN stored on it doesn't mean that the merchant terminal has to accept that form of verification. Maybe it's programmed to prefer a dial-in verification. This is all making my head hurt. I sure wish that the whole issue would go away, but since it's obviously not go to do that on its own, can one of our resident payments industry participants give us some guidance here?
