Is this truly the very rare PIN priority for purchases?!? If so, it's the 2nd PIN priority card now available in the US (like UN FCO, but no 1% ISA fee passthrough)!!!

No Offline PIN!?!

Does "unattended cash" = ATM cash withdrawal?

Does "purchase with cashback" = purchase with OR without cash back?

If cash back with purchase, then is cash back treated as purchase or advance?

What exactly is "manual cash"?
Your First Tech Visa card is chip and signature with NO PIN backup for purchases.

Unattended cash = cash withdrawal from an ATM
Purchase with cashback = as described
Manual cash = cash withdrawal in person at a bank branch

Hopefully the MC ends up being PIN preferred like they promised.
