Obviously you have not considered the fact that someone would assault you and steal your wallet. That happened to my wife, and all of the cards that had “Check ID” written on them had no charges. The ones that had her signature had charges. Yes, I know Visa covers for unauthorized charges, but it took well over a year to get some of the charges removed. I was out that money in the mean time because I had to pay it to keep my payments current.

Thanks Toby, appreciate the kinder reply. A similar comment was made and I agreed that is probably the best of both worlds.

I was careful with mine too, but even the best of us make mistakes sometimes.

Thanks again for dropping by and for sharing your thoughts.

Your contract with Visa requires you to sign the card. Simply look at the back of your card. “Not Valid Unless Signed.” “CHECK ID” is not a signature – so if you write “CHECK ID” you also need to add your signature.

I have never had my credit card “stolen” because I am careful not to lose or misplace it.

Hi Toby, why do you consider that paranoid weirdo? Have you ever hard your card stolen and used? I have. Also, why sign it too?
