I stopped signing credit cards several years ago, as an experiment; how long will it take someone to notice? I'm still waiting.

I'm still waiting.
- spydum 9y agoSame here but I have had maybe 3 out of several thousands of transactions where the cashier asked to see my id because it wasn't signed.. The signature generally smears off after a few weeks anyways.
- scbrg 9y agoThey check in certain countries. I live in Sweden, but recently started to travel to Taiwan regularly. I never signed my card in Sweden, but I've been asked to sign it in Taiwan. Funnily enough, I have been refused to pay a hotel bill with my unsigned card, since the clerk couldn't verify the signature. So he had me - in front of his eyes - first sign my card, then sign the bill, and then he double checked that the signatures were identical (which they're not - my signatures always come out different).
- __david__ 9y agoHa. I stopped doing this in 1993. I only had one person every complain, a cashier at CompUSA in 1994-ish. He wouldn't accept it until I signed the back of the card so I wrote "Please check ID" instead of signing it. He was fine with that.
- jamiethompson 9y agoI never do either. It happened to me last year. Possibly only because the guy was a trainee and was literally going by the book though.
- kstrauser 9y agoI worked the night shift at a hotel in college. I turned down a "SEE ID"-signed card once, where the guy started the transaction with "hey loser, got a room?" to amuse his girlfriend. Turns out that's an excellent way to get me to be nitpicky about the rules.
