Using someone else's credit card: What are the rules?

[Red Squirrel]

Technically you're not suppose to, but I've never seen a store actually check the signature against something. Heck the signature is all faded out on mine and I never bothered to resign it. They're not going to ask you for ID or anything. So as long as you know their pin you're pretty much golden. When I lived at my parents' my mom would send me to the store to buy stuff with her card all the time.

Wow, 2004. I didn't even know credit cards were invented back then!

I frequently give my card to my so for buying groceries etc. 99.999% of stores in Sweden use pin+chip anyway, so they can't really check whose card it is.
