I thought they weren't allowed to ask for ID.?

[ene82]

I just got back from running to the store and decided to stop by this dairy queen(never been there before its out of my way) and gave the lady my debit card, she says no debit cards, I say fine you can run it as a credit card, she says I NEED to see your ID, (even though my card was signed). She tells me it is their policy to ask for ID, they even had a sign in front of the cash register "Must show ID for all credit transactions". I went to my car to get license and was so annoyed that I left. I thought asking for ID on a signed card was illegal?

NO MINIMUM CHARGES ON CREDIT CARD

 

NO MAXIMUM CHARGE ON CREDIT CARDS

 

**NO ID ON SIGNED CREDIT CARDS**

 

NO FEE TO USE A CREDIT CARD

====================================================================

I hope you left with-out the purchase (and they had to trash your purchase)

 

They had to do that with my order at SUBWAY

 

That deal caused heads to roll

 

My complaint was the straw that broke the camels back

YES BY ALL MEANS REPORT THEM

 

A STORE POLICY CAN'T OVER-RULE CREDIT CARD POLICY

[TimeToShine]

Just to clarify, I do not beleive it is illegal. Against their merchant agreement yes, illegal no.

 

Correct me if I am wrong pls..

[kevatucr]

Complain on DQ's web site. The only thing that may be company policy is that they ask for ID (permissible), but it can't be a condition of the sale. "Condition of the sale" is not illegal; it is against the processors terms and conditions for merchants. My experience is that the web complaints tend to be successful.

Why would you be annoyed? personally if it were me I woudn't be, they are preventing Id theft by making sure your the owner of the card.

 

I never keep my cards signed so they HAVE to ask for ID. In fact when I grab my card, my id is right behind it.

 

But if you complain to MC/Visa unless there's alot of complaints against that merchant MC/Visa won't do anything.

What part of giving out your birth date, address, and DL# is helping to prevent ID theft? Providing your credit card number to a thief is far less harmful and you are protected from losses.

Cardholder ID

Although Visa rules do not preclude merchants from asking for cardholder ID, merchants cannot make an ID a condition of acceptance. Therefore, merchants cannot refuse to complete a purchase transaction because a cardholder refuses to provide ID . Visa believes merchants should not ask for ID as part of their regular card acceptance procedures. Laws in several states also make it illegal for merchants to write a cardholder's personal information, such as an address or phone number, on a sales receipt. P. 29, Visa Merchant Card Acceptance Policy

You are the one that is in the wrong here. A card that is not signed is invalid.

SO YOU LIKE TO USE A VOID CARD???

 

Your signature on the back of the card makes it valid

 

CID IS NOT YOUR NAME

My driver's license is in my wallet...my wallet in in my pocket

 

It is not with my card...because my card is in my hand

[GEORGE]

A LICENSE TO DRIVE WAS NEVER INTENDED AS A CREDIT CARD USE PERMIT

[GEORGE]

NOT VALID UNLESS SIGNED

 

VOID IF NOT SIGNED

 

AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE

 

Had they wanted to be ask for ID would they have a place for a signature???

 

Had they wanted you to put CID wouldn't it already be there???

[MarvBear]

moving to the proper forum.

I use cash for small purchases. I never get asked for ID and I never have to sign the money I give them in order to get my purchases.

The topic is about being asked for ID when using a credit/debit card and not about the advantages of using cash.

[beli]

Look I know it's Mc/Visa's rules, they also have rules of no miniums but almost every gas station (at least here where I live) has at least a 5 dollar minium to use a charge.

 

I'm assuming they have a "company" policy becasue of lots of charge backs due to fraud. Or they simply don't know Mc/visa rules, or they do, and don't care and are using "company policy" to cover their butts.

 

Our Drivers license doesn't have Dob, just date of issue/signature/License # and address.

 

I realize some drivers lincese also use ssn number as their license # which I think is pretty stupid.

I will send you $10,000.01 CASH MONEY GRAM

 

You try to pick up the cash with-out ID

 

Then you spend that "CASH" on one single transaction at a single business with-out ID
