Does anyone still write "SEE ID" as their signature on the back of their credit card? Has anyone ever asked to see ID?

i just saw a commercial for the marines and it was just some scifi emp truck killing some birds that transformed into drones. the commercials used to have dragons and flaming swords and poo poo. I'd say that’s a solid downgrade.

In the last few years my sinuses and allergys have gotten significantly worse - to the point where I lost 20lbs last year because my stomach got angry at the sheer amount of mucus happening. I made an appointment with an allergist and he asked if I had had covid and I said no but I guess apparently a lot of peoples allergies are getting a lot worse post covid. In my case I just have a really bad dust mite allergy so im finally getting allergy shots. Even with out outdoor/tree allergies the pollen levels are so loving high right now. Wearing a mask on high pollen days outside can make things a lot less difficult to deal with. Like if you do yard work or just plan to spend an extended amount of time outside it really really helps.

I've paid for everything with a card since age 10 (except for weirdo paper check only places) and I've never signed any of them and nobody but me has ever looked at the card.

Yeah, has anyone actually even had to hand their credit card to the cashier in the last decade? They sure as poo poo ain't checking anything when the credit card never leaves your hand.

getting locked out of your own credit card by an overly vigilant server because of your "request ID" message in the signature line, sorry but your presented "ID" is not sufficient, do you have another means of payment?

most credit cards have flush numbers instead of raised ones now too, so they couldn't use the chunk-chunk machine anymore even if they still had one

Everyone who still uses Windows should get PowerToys. Definitely doesn't solve all that's making it a bad OS, but at least it gives you things like usable search. It's kinda funny that you need to install what appears to be some Microsoft engineers' hobby project to get basic features into a usable state though.

I was required by a highschool job on pain of immediate firing to always request ID if presented with a credit card that said "See ID" and Id say 99% of them bitched about it and less than half actually had it. Which was worrying because they drove to get there Edit: 20% of them had a different name on the credit card and on their ID like congrats on playing yourself????

It's not, but if the card says See ID in the signature panel and your ID doesn't match them you should expect the transaction to be refused. That's the whole point of writing See ID on your card. So if you share cards don't write See ID on them?

Online credit card payments. I was going to get the archives upgrade for SA, got "error happened", thought may be it was a problem with using a debit card. I tried to do it again with a credit card, same result... The next day the bank calls me telling that "something awful was trying to make purchases". The only awful thing is the security paranoia. There are so many backgrounds checks and an added security bridge employing one time security codes (that's probably where the problem is) that I can't use my own money. Trying to explain a bank employee what Something Awful is and the concept of paying for an account was pretty surrealistic. I'm glad I got my account 10 years ago when things used to be simpler.

I'd say that’s a solid downgrade. That poo poo with the dragon and the chessboard was great. Also the one with the disturbed soundtrack was on point. The simple ones with actors telling lies about how they live in Hawaii and CLEP'd a whole medical degree in their spare time were probably at least effective. Nobody's gonna make poor decisions because your commercial has drones and ipads. All that poo poo is little kids toys now.

That's the whole point of writing See ID on your card. Gonna admit, i just had to take my card out of my wallet to see if it even had a space to sign. I've had a debit card for probably twenty years now, and I don't think I've ever bothered once in all that time, and nobody has ever questioned me on it. That said, we've also had chip and pin for a decade longer than the US. I guess it's an anti-fraud thing, to write that?

Yeh it used to be in the US that cashiers had to check if the signature on the back of the card matched the receipt, you just took me back to a terrible customer interaction I had as a young cashier where someone got incensed I didn't ask to See ID and ranted that no one follows their written instructions  so glad that era is overBc that poo poo was just banks and credit card companies forcing underpaid retail workers to be their first line in fraud defense, which they weren't too keen to do bc gently caress you, predatory lending systems, we do not care about your bottom line. Turns out people will be predatory right back atcha, and drafting the common man to be your defender at no extra cost doesn't work out.

Banks used to have whole departments that compared check signatures to signatures on record. As late as the seventies every single check was checked. That’s what the card signature checks came out of.

Once banking became digital, signature verification became way less secure and it took the US banking systems a while to catch on that the way they've done things forever, no longer works. We'll just...keep the same signature verification system with cards, it'll work if we force it and get the frontline workers to be more diligent!! It did not

I've never signed any of my credit cards outside of my first one ever and never had it come up. ... except for just a couple days ago in Japan when a store wouldn't take my card unless it was signed. And then they just gave me a pen to sign it in front of them anyways
