Does it mention anything about PIN changes?

EDIT: I read the above again and it seems that as long as you don't do anything stupid like leave the PIN slip in the wallet as your card, you should be good. Wonder how they'd go about proving something like that though.
No mention of PIN changes, only the following:

Please call us if...

you forget your PIN
you incorrectly enter your PIN 3 times and get locked out of the system
you are traveling internationally and need to reset your PIN

I don't think this indicates the ability to change the PIN, just the process for resetting access if you are locked out. I think they are making the reference to traveling internationally because that is when having a locked-out PIN would most likely be an issue, as in the USA most terminals are not yet chip activated (except for Walmart).

As soon as I get the card, I'll try it at Walmart and let everyone know the results.
