I requested one a few days ago via secured message and got a reply back that they are sending me one, but they also mentioned they ordered a PIN for me,,, I thought the US version of CHIP and Signature Card does not use PIN?! The PIN is only for the cash advance at the ATM?

You dont really use PIN with a US CHIP and Signature card, right?
Citi is getting us all very confused. I was on the phone yesterday with a Citi rep about my (newly acquired) AAdvantage Chip and Signature MasterCard.

I had called to ask about the PIN for this card. But 2 Citi reps (one in India, and then confirmed by a CSR in the USA) have now told me that the Citi AAdvantage Chip and Signature card does not require and indeed does not even have a PIN associated with it. Yes, that is indeed what they said...
