Chip and PIN is, of course, much better. Not perfect, there is one case in this thread of a person who entered their PIN for a local currency transaction and THEN got DCC'd.
Chase also doesn't seem to be very customer-friendly. If you look on here, there's a case of a person who initiated a chargeback against an incorrect amount and Chase refused the chargeback on the basis they handed the card over, even though they didn't sign the authorisation slip!
