yeah you blew it dude, technically speaking, A CREDIT CARD IS NOT VALID UNLESS IT IS SIGNED ON THE BACK. the lady did her job the right way, don’t get pissed for that, it wasn’t even your card, looks kinda shady from a strangers perspective i bet. it’s not like some new rule the DMV made up to piss you off.
true, I did this same thing, just bring your dads liscense its NP, I have called the dmv call center 100 times asking about everything from what I need for registration to specifics on in transit tags ect. it pays to spend 10 minutes on the phone to save yourself the time and bullshit
I agree, I pay with my debit card as a cc all the time. I rarely carry cash.
Plus how did the lady know you didn’t find some guys wallet, and you’re scamming the shit out of them. It’s cool IMO she didn’t call the cops on you.
No joke, I found this dudes wallet the other day it was 3x as thick as mine with every fucking thing in the world on this dude, ss card, pin numbers. If I was a fat black dude, and not a skinny white dude I could have drove motorhome or a porsche off the lot no problem with all this guys stuff.

Nothing about it is “Illegal”
But it is against mastercard and visa policy to ask any cardholder for ID ever.
You can call mastercard or visa, and report the merchant and they will get a warning…
This is the truth, I have read it on credit forums, people actually read their cardholder user agreements lol.

Man I wish I would have known this all those years ago when I worked in retail I could have told the assholes who put “see id” on their card and then complain when you didn’t ask for it to go fuck off.
However, a few businesses remain strict about not accepting cards with a “See ID” notation. Perhaps the largest is the U.S. Postal Service, which now has posters displayed on its counters alerting customers that these unsigned cards will not be accepted.
:tup: to the post office.

thats wierd that a merchant cant ask for ID. I thought it was OK. So if the card isnt signed then what??? what if you refused to show ID??
@ ECC North.
Its holiday time and my dad has seen be spending my weekends getting this POS beater ready to drive for the winter. Being 66yo he can’t help me like he used to so he offers to pay for me to register it and pay the taxes. I appreciate it so he gives me his CC and tells me to just charge it.
Not my first rodeo @ the DMV, I’m fairly farmiliar with protocal. I roll in today around 1 O’clock to register the new beater. I got all my ish and fill out the registration and tax form and go to the counter for them to do my ish and cash me out. After all the paperwork is done I had her the card telling her its my fathers card because he wanted to pay this for me as a Christmas present. She says she can’t do that and he needs to authorize the the registration if the register isn’t the card holder. She appologizes and says she’s jsut doing her job. I tell her I understand and I’ll get it signed. So I drive to East Aurora and visit my rentals for a few and tell him he needs to authorize the paperwork before they can accept the card. He signs it and I’m off back to the DMV.
I get back, after waiting in line for another 10min I hand her the paperwork, show her the signature and hand her the card with my license. She flips the card over and shows me where it says “see ID” where the signature part is. I said, “you have my ID, he signed right there (pointing to his signature) authorizing me to use his card.” She says, “I don’t know who’s signature that is.” I says its my dad’s, the card holder’s? Who else’s would it be?" She then spouts off, “IDK, yours the guy in the hall’s” I have nothing to compare it to you need to bring me a copy of his license." So I take the stuff back and tell her I’ll see if he can fax it and get the fax #.
I call him up, he can’t fax it cuz the fax is down so I tell him to take a pic of it with his cell phone and send it to me and I’ll print it out at the office. Se he does and it’s turns out kinda shitty, a li lblurry but u can make out the signature. So I bring the shit back again, this time with the copy of the license and the C#nt denies me again and say’s. “its not legable enough, I need to check with the superviser.” She walks over to the dood next to her and he tells her not to accept it. By this time I’m getting pissed. Its now 3:30 and I still don’t have my fucking beater registered. So I argue with that guy for about 15 seconds about how if I stole a CC I wouldn’t have the CC owner sign the release and then send me a pic of his license, or make my first stop the fucking DMV. She struts back over then she pushes the paperwork back at me saying nope. I say screw it and hand her my card and tell her to put it on that. She slides it back to me again and tells me that I have an attude and that they aren’t going to process it and I need to go to another office. I politely tell her i’m not leaving until I get my plates and that she can appologize to all the people waiting behind me for making them wait in the mean time. After about another 20 seconds of staring each other down she says, “are you going to be quiet and behave?” I say nothing and she takes her good old time and finally finishes cashing me the fuck out.
All that to register a fucking car. I am still pissed off. Assholes…

As soon as you mentioned that you were already branded a scammer

If the card isn’t signed, technically, they can tell you they don’t accept it as a form of payment. Terms of use say you have to sign the card because by signing it you’re accepting the terms of the card.

the moral of this story is don’t borrow cards from other people even with their permission.
