The card worked at Costco in debit mode back in May. I don't use the card in the US since I have a better earn rate with other cards. Furthermore, since I couldn't get any EMV transactions to work - it was always fallback mode - it triggered a fraud alert from ICBC. They called me and wanted to verify that I had made all of those purchases. Perhaps that has changed with more places adding PBOC support.
