Wait a minute. Does this mean stores are not supposed to ask to see ID like a license to be sure it's your credit card?

- beej71 16y agoI hope so. I mean, if finding out my zipcode is a big deal, then all the stuff printed on my driver license must be HUGE.

- techtalsky 16y agoTechnically, this is against most merchant agreements anyway. I've often wanted to create an "I have to adhere to my credit card contract and so do you" tearsheet to hand out to merchants who require insane minimums (like bars and their $10-$20 minimums) and require ID for verification.
- freiheit 16y agoNo. http://www.cardreport.com/laws/california/1747-1748-7.html http://www.cardreport.com/laws/california/1747-1748-7.html They can check your ID and verify it matches the card, they just can't record anything from your ID.
- graywh 16y agoBut as techtalsky pointed out above, the merchant agreements between the credit card company and merchant often prohibit requiring ID for a signed, valid card and your matching signature.
