You need an MC for starters if you want 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 things 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.
