They should but only 40-50% do, I write "Ask for ID" on the signature portion. The ones that read it, ask me for it. Better than a signature that a cashier won't question anyhow.
- ecaron 13y agoIn Minnesota, I'm having more merchants threaten to take my card for just saying that. Visa seems to say you should write "See ID" and also sign it: http://usa.visa.com/merchants/risk_management/card_present.html http://usa.visa.com/merchants/risk_management/card_present.h...
- maxerickson 13y agoI was curious about this and browsed through their operating regulations. It says something to the effect of "Visa considers a signature box that only says See ID to be blank". So the pedantic response to your second sentence is that they consider the See ID irrelevant (and once there is a signature, it is apparently a violation of the merchant agreement to ask for ID, but I didn't look for that in the operating regulations).
