I have had a professional car for 28 years or so. I would hate to see it go away. It is the only true Chip/Pin card I have and the only place I have trouble using it in the US is the car dealer that can't understand she just can't "override the pin" LOL!
I like it because it's not Amex (I had a huge problem with one of my accounts there.) And it allows me to transfer the points to lots of places to "top up" an account for a special occasion.
