If it's PIN you're after, there are a couple of other options. They're going to require that you join a credit union (UNFCU/First Tech FCU), however, and the best rewards they'll offer you are statement credits/cash back for the most part. IMO Diners Club is still the best/only "true" chip and PIN option for those who prefer points over cash.

But honestly, chip and signature (with a PIN backup) is probably fine the vast majority of the time. "True" chip and PIN is nice as a convenience though.
