No, he wasn't saying anything remotely resembling that.

I was just coming to post literally this same place. Interesting thing was that my Amex Platinum wouldn't go through (the screen said "Invalid Transaction") and I had to fall back to my BOA Visa.

Small world!This was with a Chase Sapphire Preferred, but I can try my AmEx Platinum the next time I'm there.

The Chip Card line is different, but I masked the last four numbers with XXXX on my receipt.

Don't take this wrong, but I'm genuinely curious what you're worried about people doing with the last four digits, a one time use cryptogram, and a response code that means nothing to anyone but the parties involved? Receipts are designed to NOT have anything you can use to use the card so that they don't have to be disposed of as confidential waste. Unlike in the old days when they printed the PAN on the receipt.

In just about every country EMV has been rolled out in, they have managed to mess it up somehow. Canada still has problems.Those are some weird authorisation codes though, as a merchant myself and consumer I've never seen one with letters in!

I was simply following the trend here, so I don't know why you're calling me out specifically. Are all of those numbers of absolutely zero value even if one were to call the establishment and do some social engineering? I'll concede that the likelihood of this is extremely low, but I don't want to be like the guy from LifeLock advertising information publicly.

As far as I know they're of absolutely zero value but that's why I asked you LOL. I wasn't calling you out and I did worry you'd take it that way - I was genuinely curious if you had a reason that I didn't know of. Since you were following others, open question - does anyone know of any potential attacks against the data on a receipt? I regularly toss them in non-secure trash assuming they're fine.
In fact, I did include the last 4 digits of the card number on an earlier receipt from Walmart, so for those curious you can scroll back through the thread.

This is becoming a problem again in the UK. Because most merchant terminals don't supply a customer copy on contactless transactions, the merchant often reprints the merchant copy which has the full pan and expiry on it!
I often end up with these type of receipts!

Really? In the UK I haven't got that once... tons of times I don't get a receipt for contactless, but never once have I got one with the PAN.

That's bizarre. If they want to give receipts, why not just program the machine to give a receipt (like Tesco does). Otherwise just... Don't give receipts. Like you're not supposed to.
