One thing cashiers do
<br />
that is annoying
<br />
<br />
Okay, the VISA corporation who issue the VISA cards
<br />
does NOT want
<br />
for you to show your identification when you use your VISA Card.
<br />
<br />
This is because cashiers can get your personal information
<br />
to go WITH your VISA information, and that's all they need
<br />
to steal from you.
<br />
<br />
The VISA Corporation fought this issue all the way to the
<br />
United States Supreme Court and
<br />
they WON.
<br />
<br />
The contract that every VISA merchant signs
<br />
states that 'they must and WILL except, the VISA Card -alone.
<br />
<br />
When a merchant asks for your ID they are violating the contract
<br />
that they signed, AND a verdict by the U.S. Supreme Court.
<br />
<br />
You can read about it -at VISA.com.
<br />
<br />
Yet hundreds of merchants still do this and they LIE and tell you
<br />
"oh its FOR your protection..." No it isn't.
<br />
<br />
It's ILLEGAL.
<br />
<br />
But protest and you'll immeadiately be accused of trying to use
<br />
a stolden VISA Card.

<br />
But there's a better way. You can Call VISA toll-free and report any merchant
<br />
who asked for your ID. They'll first get a letter. A second report after the letter
<br />
and a VISA Representative --pays a VISIT.
<br />

<br />
If they ask HIM for his ID they loose their VISA merchant status,
<br />
and face legal action.
<br />
(more times than not the business closes up)

That's interesting leahman, we have a local Goodwill here in town that asks me everytime I use my visa debit card for my drivers lic and I also have to put my phone number as well on the reciept they keep. Guess they need a visit from Visa too <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" />
<br />
Next time I go there I'll use my visa and when they ask for my drivers lic, I"ll tell them "I must have left it at home" and see what they do then lol
<br />
Thanks for this information, I had not heard of it and glad to know who to call next time <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" />
