That's the wrong wish.
It's not so much a Chase decision,
it's a Visa decision, and Chase uses Visa.
You need an MC for starters if you want chip & PIN. (But while MC is necessary, it's not sufficient. There are still a lot of MCs out there without chip & PIN.)
Some Barclay cards have chip & PIN, because Barclay uses MC.
BMO's Diners Clubs cards (not available for new applications) have chip & PIN, because BMO uses MC.
There is no such thing as a Visa card issued in the US with chip & PIN AFAIK.
So if you want to wish for something, you need to wish for Visa, not Chase itself, changing their minds.
But the
practical thing is to get an MC that has chip & PIN.
(Now, I guess you could wish for Chase to add chip & PIN support to their IHG card, since that's their one MC card. But Chase is so-Visa centric, it's hard for them to adopt a different policy for their one and only MC card.)
