I don't know where you guys shop in Minneapolis but I never get asked for identification anywhere when using a credit card. If I did get asked, I would take my business elsewhere - having to show ID for a credit card purchase defeats one of the main advantages of using a credit card. If you don't want to show Cub your ID, you don't have to - from the VISA website: Q. Are merchants allowed to ask for identification when using Visa products? A. While a merchant may ask for identification if fraud is suspected, it is contrary to Visa policy to require the consumer to show identification as a condition of the sale. >>>>>If a merchant asks for identification and the consumer is unable or unwilling to produce it, the merchant is still obliged to accept the consumer's Visa card.<<<<< Consumers who experience refusal of service based on identification may either call their card issuer to report the problem or call 1-800-VISA-911. I'm sure MasterCard has a similar policy. David Gadberry Regina REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules? Email the list manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] before continuing it on the list. 2.
