Snack,
I cannot answer on the other board, but I think Taxi V's comment about the new position in AK could be something of value... I noticed from personal experience that that retailer started using the EMV whenever it is available on your credit card in my area, for dual factor authentication... I sure hope the new position is for servicing an upcoming pilot or rollout. I am sure they are doing everything they can to not be subjected to TG's plight...
Thank you for your DD,
AR.
