Well, after a couple of weeks of using my other 2 cards, a BoA Visa and the Blue Card AMEX, without issues exempt the rare card readers that don't want to play nice, today I had this weird experience when I decided to use my Costco AMEX with SPay for the first time.
I used it in a similar card reader that I've been using the other cards with SPay, it read it almost immediately, even faster than all the previous times and when I thought I was done already I heard the cashier asking me for the code, at first I assumed that it was the last 4 four digits of the card but then she asked me again for the Security Code, so I asked her if she was sure and that if she meant the last 4 digits but she I insisted that the machine was asking her for the Security code, so I needed to pull my card from my wallet and when I gave her the code the transaction went through immediately.
So am I the only one that has needed to give this code? I'm calling AMEX later tonight but would like to know if I'm the only one before I call them, as you can see it doesn't make sense to use SPay if I'm needing to get my card anyways.
