Good catch. Though not many US EMV cards have contactless capability (US Bank FlexPerks, some BofA cards are the few cards out there that has both features), EMV chips can also be equipped with contactless features.

Anyone want to try out their EMV chipped AMEX, those that previously had a contactless feature, can also work in contactless terminals?
