This has happened to me twice with my BDO Debit Card.

Didn't have enough cash to pay for fuel so used my BDO debit card. After a long wait the gas boy tells me that I have to enter a PIN number - meaning I have to exit my car and go to the cashier and enter my PIN. Not only is this a nuisance but it poses as a bit of a security threat.

Happened to me twice, once at a Caltex and another at Shell. They never used to ask for a PIN number for debit cards but now they do. A signature was fine before.

I'll be carrying a lil bit more cash with me now.

Just wondering if it's a BDO thing or for all debit cards?
