My husband's debit card has a photo and yet someone was able to use it all over town when they stole it. Fortunately it's a VISA debit card and all his money was replaced within 24 hours. But it shows that the photo is pretty much worthless these days.
My Citibank Visa, which I have had since 1990 or so, has my picture on the front. Not much protection for an internet or phone purchase, but helps in face to face transaction fraud prevention.
