The following verbiage is listed:
"Citi Card with Chip
Your new Citi Card will feature built-in chip technology to provide enhanced security when used at chip-enabled terminals. Learn more about Citi Card with Chip."
For whatever reason, the Citi website shows the card without an EMV chip; however, current cardmembers will receive chipped cards at reissue or very likely before October 2015. I agree it is a pretty lame credit card and I also keep mine for age only.
Well, I suppose that means they intend to keep this anachronism alive for a few more years. I went through the online card replacement procedure you describe, but there was no mention of a chip. I was specifically looking for an EMV option and saw nothing, so I tried to back out of the request, but wound up receiving a new (non-chip) card anyway. A follow-up message to Citi confirmed that EMV was not available for that card. I think this must have been mid-late 2012, so perhaps things have changed. Still a card whose only noteworthy feature is no AF, unless you like the AT&T death-star logo.
