3. B of A Travel Rewards has online PIN for purchases in after signature. It's a chip and PIN (online) with signature priority. Oddly, it is set to move on to no CVM if supported on PIN failure, meaning the WRONG PIN could still work...

I think this is interesting that anyone can check their CVM list on their EMV cards. Would anyone want to try this out on their own that we should consider adding a "how to check your CVM" to the wiki above?
