A small point of clarification: there are also USB gebits that don't use the last four digits as the PIN, but rather the PIN is listed on the sticker. I've also noticed differences in the stickers in that some come off quick and easy and others leave a lot of sticky residue, so much so that I didn't notice I had two cards stuck together in my wallet and almost jammed the machine when I swiped
. There are so many different cards on offer in SoCal that I haven't kept track of which packaging contains which type.
