Oddly enough, the same seems to be the case with ATMs. No Application ID shows up on my ATM withdrawal receipts- not from Mizuho, not from Aeon, not from Citi, not a one.
Most ATMs I encounter internationally (Outside of Europe) don't show AID on receipt, I'm not sure they've even bothered to roll out EMV ATMs lol

Even a lot of ATMs here in Europe still aren't EMV enabled. Hotel ATMs are often still insert and pull out even in the UK. I don't mind though, lets me check my card hasn't demagnetised. Thats one of my biggest fears upon arriving in the US lol, suddenly find all of my cards are duds. Although I don't think I've ever had a magstripe go bad ever.
