How does this work for larger purchases though. If you do contactless for over $50 (or £20 in their case) are you prompted to insert card instead so PIN can be entered?
Guess that will be my next thing to play with. A lot easier to spend over $50 at Home Depot than Walgreens!
I've actually tried over $50 at Walgreens with the DC card before and they just make you sign for the purchase. I haven't found a place with both contactless and EMV enabled yet but according to cardpeek it won't matter; the contactless on the card isn't EMV contactless so PIN won't be asked for at all in this mode. (Still a chance that it'll make you insert overseas instead though.)
