Report the merchant who requires ID to Visa at 1-800-VISA-911 or Mastercard at 1-800-300-3069 or http://www.mastercard.com/contactus/contactus_mv.html<BR/><BR/>http://merchants.visa.com/accepting/pdfs/Card_Acceptance_and_Chargeback_Guidelines.pdf :<BR/>“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.”thelowpriceleaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14874378654942030647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34947909.post-29161180201095335312007-10-23T23:27:00.000-04:002007-10-23T23:27:00.000-04:00Thought of this post when I was in Washington D.C ...Thought of this post when I was in Washington D.C last week ... every time I used my credit card, I was asked for photo ID. Didn't matter what the amount was. <BR/><BR/>I don't look much like my driver's licence photo :)June Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741012189632410626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34947909.post-56387895389181938592007-10-20T20:16:00.000-04:002007-10-20T20:16:00.000-04:00Since I wrote this post, seems the trend is growin...Since I wrote this post, seems the trend is growing. I made two restaurant reservations at different places this week and both times I was asked for my credit card number. I declined. Fortunately, they wanted my business more than my VISA number. ;)Bargainistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192938722206095554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34947909.post-82702852921560464262007-10-19T23:09:00.000-04:002007-10-19T23:09:00.000-04:00I'm surprised by this - As long as they don't star...I'm surprised by this - As long as they don't start taking down details from my ID, I think I would be ok. If they started to take down information, thats when I think I would walk away - but showing it wouldn't bother me. But it would surprise me!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07878991619220099384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34947909.post-39322633860008234432007-10-15T11:59:00.000-04:002007-10-15T11:59:00.000-04:00I don't mind at all.

I don't think that would qualify as a high-ticket item.Bargainistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01192938722206095554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34947909.post-32858986120523740742007-10-15T11:20:00.000-04:002007-10-15T11:20:00.000-04:00If you don't mind my asking, was the purchase one ...If you don't mind my asking, was the purchase one with a hefty price tag, eg. over a thousand or two? I don't mind this as a protection to card holders. I have never had it happen to me though. I find no one even looks at signatures any more and my last name is so long I have given up on signing anything past the second "r".Glen Farrellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12343517452512258227noreply@blogger.com
