do you sign your credit cards?

[John B.]

I think the 'Ask for ID' age has passed. My USPS office has had a sign for at least 3 years saying they won't accept un-signed credit cards. If you think of how many places today you pay with plastic where no employee actually handles the card, it's not much of a safeguard. Any kind of automated gas pump, most convenience stores don't even require a signature on their card swipe device for less than a $25 charge anymore, and even on larger purchases, many just require you to swipe the card and sign on the card reader, never handing it to the cashier. All the websites that just want the card number, expiration date, and the code from the signature line.
