Yes, and it's violation for merchants to not accept an unchipped card as well. Violation of such rules lead to little, if no consequences. We've already discussed this extensively in the past 350 or so pages.

In the grand scheme of things, VISA and MC agreements mean almost nothing, especially towards billion dollar MNCs. VISA and MC are not police departments, they are corporations out to make money.

Between you the individual cardholder and Chevron (just using an example of a billion dollar corporation), VISA and MC would let Chevron continue to do their thing because their relationship with Chevron makes more money for VISA and MC than any individual.
