The Credit Card Prank
by Rich on Mar.25, 2005, under Humor
I’m one of those people who sign the back of their credit cards with “Please Check ID”. I do this for a couple of reasons. First, it usually causes the merchant to check my photo ID which also has my signature, and second, I have handwriting that even most doctors would be ashamed to have.
When I sign a CC receipt, it’s little more than a scribble which will vary greatly based on how much of a hurry I’m in at the given moment. This has caused me to wonder just how far someone could go with their CC signature before it was no longer accepted.
Well, I no longer have to wonder, thanks to John Hargrave from Zug.com.
