Cards which DO have a pin and a chip can not be swiped in ALL cases, they can still be sometimes. Restaurants for example always just swipe it, even if it has a pin. At least the ones I go to.

In a store, if the card has a chip, you will require putting it in most likely.

In hotels it is so so... I was in switzerland with my belgian card once, it has a chip and a pin. They tried with pin first, I just do not have it for that particular card since I usually never use it to buy things, and they just swiped it instead and it worked fine.

So I doubt you will have a problem.
