i wrote CID on an old debit card i had, and a woman wouldn't take my card because she read it as the name "sid"

 

I get asked all the time :dunno: My card is signed with my sig also... I figured if I leave it blank..either no one checks or that a thief can just look at my name and make up his own signature...

Putting SEE ID just seems like a hassel for me when I'm in a hurry...

 

Technically credit cards aren't valid, even if they have "See ID" on them, if they don't have a signature.

 

that i have never heard of before... checking the name on a debit card

 

I do the same thing and whats funny is some ppl look at that, then hand the card back with no questions.

 

people can use them as credit cards at cash registers, so you don't use your PIN proving its your card. so the employee must treat it as a credit card. usually its to avoid getting charged the .49 fee or what have you.

 

That's what I thought also :dunno:

 

really?!?! wow never seen that. must be a US thing.

 

yeah, thats bad mkay

 

Most establishments are good about check ID and getting the proper authorities if the identity doesn't match...

What I found funny was, when I was at a Wendys with some friends, I used my card, I had to take a leak so I told my friend to get the receipt for me so I can sign when I get back... lol He signed it for me under his name and they took it... h:
