***Merchant asked to see ID****

[ufjoe21]

Needed some t-shirts at the mall and they had deals of 4 for $19.99 and 5 for $19.99 at stores, but Champ Sports had 6 for $19.99.

 

Computer was down so the guy had to call it in.

 

Used my debit VISA but ran it as credit and the guy asked to see my ID and I said "you know it's against VISA merchant policy to ask to see ID for a signed card and you can get fined for it"

 

he said "we do it to protect YOU from identity theft"

 

seemed mad I told him that

 

ha, I'm going off to report this violation, where's the link for it?

[Caramel_Pinay]

Visa will tell you to call your bank.

 

You bank will say they didn't know about that.

[ufjoe21]

what's nutty writing.......he's been at it for a while?

[nutty]

I know, same thing happened to me.

 

My day at the mall.

1. I stop by Macys(formally Burdines in FL).I purchase a 3 thousand dollar diamond and a handbag for my wife costing about $450. The salelady and I talk about 15 minutes etc, I never have to show my I.D. for the transaction.

 

2.I stop by Foot locker for a pair of walking sneakers, about $65. The 18 going on 12 year old girl demands my I.D. and has a "Im gonna call security look" on her face.I said no, cancell the sell.She dosent know how to refund the sale because the CC allready went through.Long story short.....I told the manager(i.e.stupid drone#2) not onlly am I upset, but I think I can see the future now ....and it involves my fingers tickling the phone buttons calling the corporate offices of foot locker and my lawyer because Im upset and crying now.LMAO.

 

My experience is............for large purchases in upscale enviroments....the sales person dosent want to "embarase' you and lose a sell.

 

In places like sneaker stores...where people come trying to use whatever means to buy 1 million dollar sneakers....you will get I.D. for buying socks.!!!

I don't blame the merchant for asking for ID. The store is the one that takes the hit if they get a bogus card - not VISA, not the customer, not the bank, but the store. My local Wal-mart sometimes asks to see my driver's license. I don't see it as a big deal.

Nutty did not say that these events happened today.

OH BOY OH BOY.....$5 TO MY NAME IS AN EXPRESSION, NOT LITERALLY.

[ufjoe21]

Wow, you must not know that we have rights as card holders. I feel sorry for you for being sucked into this blow-up by the media about ID theft, shame shame.

Whats the big deal to show your ID?????

 

Sounds like the customer service rep is trying to PROTECT you!

 

If this was YOUR stolen card there would be way more hoops for you to jump through than showing your id.

Sorry I thought you were a member of my club

[Guest picantel]

blow up by the media huh? don't know much about ID theft? you need to spend more than 3 months on a consumer forum before you make assumptions.

[centex]

Do we really need a thread on every effing store or chain that asks for ID? I could have sworn a mod asked nicely the other day that such not occur...

I know much more than you obviously. I understand they think this will stop ID theft, but it doesn't change the fact that it's against VISA merchant policy.

 

also, many CB'ers learned TONS before they became OFFICIAL members, you shouldn't assume because when you do......well you know how it goes

 

"picante"l.....not so hot anymore......you're cold now!

I just wanted to take a moment to laugh outloud at the mod's thread topic.

 

Complaints, discussions and rants regarding perceived merchant violations of CCC policy

[MarvBear]

Have at it folks.

 

go for the gusto.

 

*sigh*

 

I do not think posts in this subforum should count towards total post count.
