If I may ask, which bank issued yours? My (former) JPMC card didn't work at any unattended terminals like Luas stops in Dublin. When I went to some stores and used the PIN pad, the terminal spit out a paper for me to sign. I'm looking for a card that is confirmed to work as a PIN-primary card. So far, only the State Department FCU seems to have one.

Mine is a Barclaycard Arrival+ (http://www.barclaycardarrival.com/). It is not a PIN-primary card, but it absolutely works in PIN mode at automated PoS systems.

PenFed (https://www.penfed.org/visasignaturepoints/) also offers a true chip-and-PIN EMV card in the US (again, signature priority, but I've verified the PIN works at PoS).

I don't think your JPMC card has a PIN assigned to the chip. Its PIN can only be used at an ATM to get a cash advance.

Barclays is a British bank fwiw. They're likely to have all the infrastructure in place.
