I still don't see why it is such a problem to show ID. Yeah yeah I know everyone's argument is normally bc it's against the CC's policy. But what is so wrong with it inherently? Is it the perceived implication that you have stolen the card?? Inconvenience??

wow: People feel like you assaulted them when you ask to see I.D. Or, such is the sentiment, amongst many. :good:

 

I have an ugly picture on mine, so i prefer to keep it in my wallet and not be insinuated to be a credit card thief. If something wasnt on the up-and-up, theyd have to get the manager to decline the sale. But asking me for my ID? :o

Try getting a decent CL...

18k & 15.2k

 

My mom has been with Discover since the Sears days and has really high limits that get CLIs regularly.

 

I'm an AU on one of her cards and I don't think they're subprime.

Are you comfortable showing ID to a random stranger if they asked? Cashiers are random strangers...

There is a difference between a cashier at a store I CHOSE to patronize versus the random stranger on the street with whom I have NO business...

This.

 

Besides, isn't the purpose of ID to "identify" yourself? In theory, you would only need to do that with someone you don't know.

Just wait UNTIL someone steals your card. You'll (not you personally) change your tune!

I'm not a teller, but I get that working at a bank.

 

"But I've banked here since nineteen-seventy-five!!"

 

"Yes, ma'am, but *I've* never met you before."

I must still be missing something...how does having a card stolen make it wrong to ask for ID?? I mean wouldn't the opposite be true? If my card is stolen, and the thief can't produce an ID, the sale is no bueno??

No, but I am an extremely paranoid individual by nature lol....I mean if you are saying that shwing an ID to a cashier could put you at risk, what risk are you saying exists?? Something like them remembering your home address and coming to rob you? Not sure how a cashier could remember any info off of an ID that quickly, not to mention when they are busy...

 

And couldn't the same argument be made about giving a CC to ANYONE??? I mean who's to say the waiter you hand it to isn't writing down the numbers (inc the security code) while preparing your receipt...that to me is a bigger potential liability than flashing my ID to a cashier standing in front of me

That makes the card invalid. ANY merchant should refuse the card as it does not have proper signature (Unless your name is see ID"

Nope. That would be an institution where I trust my funds to be held. We have our financial employees sign privacy agreements, I assume banks do as well. I have more confidence in employees who've been held to a background check/signing authority standard. Certainly not foolproof to fraud, but more safety measures are in place.
