This is a UK-issued AmEx, right?

Don't EMV slots in other countries are in a more, how should I say, "more obvious" place that's plainly visible?

Given Walmart uses the same exact terminals in other countries, I wouldn't think so :)

Its probably more the orientation of the machines more than anything. The slot is practically vertically facing in Walmart. The terminals themselves are exactly the same ones used at some self service checkouts in Asda (A walmart company) in the UK.

I think while the orientation seems counterintuitive it is likely to make the terminal accessible. If you were in a wheelchair and the PIN pad was blocked by the card sticking out of the front it would be difficult to interact with the pad to sign or enter your PIN.

After a successful run with my Citi HHonors Reserve Visa (chip + sig) at my local Wal-Mart, I decided to try the USAA MC chip + PIN card I have today to see if Wal-Mart would ask for a PIN instead of a signature.

I swiped the card so it would prompt me to insert the chip. After inserting, it recognized the card as a Mastercard and waited for the cashier to total the transaction. It then asked me to confirm the amount. After a second, it then asked for my PIN. After entering, the terminal beeped and told me to remove the card.

The receipt does confirm the PIN was used. I spent over $25 so I am not sure if the PIN would always be required or just above a certain amount (like the current "no signature required" policies some stores have).

I bought a $2 bottle of cough syrup at my local Walmart today with my USAA MC. It required a PIN, even for a $2 sale. My guess is that the USAA card doesn't support the "No CVM" mode.

A ~$10 purchase via chip with a Chase Visa at the same store last week went through with no signature.

My first Chip and Signature receipt. And yes, they made me sign it.
