Where's the PIN? HomeATM has the Beef!

I'm curious as to why Wells Fargo would specifically quantify (in red below) the rates for Internet "Non-PIN Debit Card Sales"

By the way, those very same "Non-PIN Debit Card Sales" have the exact rates as "credit card sales...which is probably another reason I see to avoid even making the distinction.

Does Wells Fargo find it necessary to post NON-PIN Debit Card Sales rates unless they also, in tandem, had and provided a solution, and thus rate, for Internet "PIN Debit Card Sales."
