BBQ123 Posted January 5, 2010 What Visa, MasterCard, and AmEx should do is make the fine $500for the violation, and then have it double for each repeat offense (2nd = $1000, 3rd = $2000, 4th = $4000, 5th = $8,000 .... i think after 2 or 3 offenses the violators will stop). They should take 50% of the revenue and 50% being given to the person who reported the violator. This encourages citizens to report violators. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would also encourage less-then-honest citizens to lie through their teeth. We don't need any more shakedown-type scams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could change jobs...I could go to stores that have had major violations Do stings and store wide meetings All the miles and cash back and points I would get from the travel would be great (to a point) (Not that I would want to be always gone for weeks at a time) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Need More RWHP Posted April 13, 2010 Why would you NOT want to show ID? How else are you going to make sure the less than stellar clerk has any chance in coming by your house and steal the big screen you just bought or that new stereo system you had them install in your car?

I just think there tends to be an inordinate amount of paranoia on this subject.... My ID is on the back of my credit card THE SIGNATURE ID=identification. How does your signature on the back of your card prove WHO you are? I would argue it doesn't. I have a form of identification that clearly IDENTIFIES me without giving anyone any useful information. I know I know....MC/Visa agreements and all the rest of that tired argument..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JetTeach Posted April 13, 2010 And just so we are both on the same page here GEORGE, I refuse to show any form of identification for using a credit card just like you do. My point to you is simply that a signature is NOT a form of identification. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHEN 100% OF THE CUSTOMERS SIGN THEIR CARD WITH THEIR NAME AND 100% OF THE BUSINESSES STOP ASKING FOR ID Then there will be no more issues... You don't like the credit card policy of no ID required for a signed credit card...you buy them out and change the policy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My point to you is simply that a signature is NOT a form of identification. Not my problem... I have a permit to drive a car/truck...I never got a permit to use a credit card from the DMV I DON'T HAVE TO PROVIDE AN ID TO USE A CREDIT CARD...NO LAW SAYS OTHER-WISE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
