This is true for almost ALL credit/charge cards:
The card is not valid until signed. "See ID" technically invalidates your card.
The merchant may ask for ID if they wish but they cannot make the transaction contingent on ID if you do not want to provide it.
As my own personal addendum to the above, I don't think card users nor merchants particularly care very much to enforce these two terms of the cardmember/merchant agreements.
