My contactless CSR arrived and it's still metal. There wasn't anything promoting contactless in the envelope, but I'm guessing they think that people who travel overseas already know a little bit about that.

EDIT: it looks like it doesn't matter which side I put the card on my NFC reader; cardpeek can read it fine. I'll have to try it in a store to confirm, however. Also, I'm not sure if it's just what I'm transmitting to make DDA appear but the card supposedly doesn't support MSD mode (AIP of 2000).

Additionally, CTQ (9F6C) is indicating that online PIN's...required? (value of 4000) I'll need to check some stuff in my emv.lua file and possibly read via regular EMV to make sure it's still chip and signature only.

EDIT 2: The card is still signature-only when inserted. Maybe I should still request the cash advance PIN, though, just in case it turns out that transactions over the CVM limit in a particular country can be done contactlessly with PIN. (Not sure I would be able to test that in the US since a) there's not actually a contactless limit and b) I'm not sure about online PIN support even if there were a CVM limit for contactless.)
