I don't sign my cards. I put "DEMAND ID" on the back. If I am in a restaurant and I am not asked for my ID, they get no tip.
i used to do this as well. however, one lady who claimed she was working a night job (her regular job was a police officer) told me this was illegal to do and when you did this you voided your CC. while typically people had asked for my ID in the past, i just assumed that she wouldn't be making that sh|t up. so atleast in Virginia it's illegal to not 'sign' the back of your card.
LOL, who is going to enforce that? The credit card company? I don't think so, they want your business if you sign the card or not.
I do it to protect myself the best I can. Yes I am covered if someone wants to use my card but do I want that hassle? No. I do simple things to try and prevent it. That is like leaving my front door wide open for someone to steal all my stuff. Yes my insurance will cover it but who wants that type of hassle.
Actually a news program ran a article telling people to do this and had to retract it the next day after the CC card companies got a hold of them. All somebody has to do is sign "DEMAND ID" and they would have to accept it. That space is for a authorization mark, not notes to people.
