I am actually in the middle on an experiment ask we speak. We have been playing the "points/cash back" game and the latest & greatest deal is on an account in my husbands name. I had my card under this account in my wallet and when I started using it a couple weeks ago I noticed I never signed it. Well lets just say I use it for just about everything and in those couple of weeks so far not one person has asked me yet for ID or even commented on the fact that it is not signed! I am curious to see how long it takes before I am questioned for the first time!

in the old days, you were hanged for stealing a horse
serious stuff, the punishment fits the crime and it is a good deterent.

if nothing happens to the hacker, then there is no punishment or deterent to do it again, like poachers in fishing.

blaming the CC co. is like saying too bad it's your fault you left your rod on your roof while you stepped away for a moment, so I guess you might as well just hand to someone if you are going to leave something for a moment unattended

maybe someday soon they will get it together and be able to be a step ahead of hackers and thieves. It is costing consumers millions

I use the wife's card often, they R not signed, I'm almost never asked for an ID even with a womens name on the front...only place that I have been refused to use her card is at the local super market....some places here under 50 bucks U do not even have to sign....when I do sign, I sign her name... never questioned.

Now, since I put "See I D" on my card I am asked 99.9% of the time.
