Arizona does it again!!! (Is this legal?)

@BillRM,

These days, if you get a check in the mail, you don't cash it, for pete's sakes. You deposit it. Then, if you want cash, the only ID you need at the ATM is your little card and a good enough memory to know your PIN. Smile

I still use checks. I dont trust people to have my plastic because they can charge things to your account you dident ok. check your cell phone bill. I do quite often and find charges that have to be removed. I wonder how many old fogies like me dont even know its possible?

I have American Express credit card. When my wife and I were on vacation several months ago, American Express noticed some charges that didn't look right, so they called me to confirm those charges. I didn't make them, so they canceled those charges, and issued me a new card. Their policy is to safeguard consumers from fraud, and I'm completely satisfied with their support and protection.

Agree. Actually, I think most stores and so forth only have access to the last four digits and an approval number, but I'm kind of stingy with the number. I do use it in restaurants where the bright looking waitperson could copy number, exp date, and security code. I also audit every statement before paying.

The Post Office makes me show my driver's license for credit card purchases over $25. She makes me take it out, even. She always apologizes and says it's a rule. Every now and then a store will ask for it if I'm making a particularly large purchase. I must look like I'm living an outlaw life lol.

@Irishk,

They're in a tough spot. Some people resent the ID check. I get grumpy if they don't check, though whaddaya gonna do when the gas pump doesn't demand a drivers license.

On the other hand, I can get irate if the person ahead of me isn't checked, and I am. What? You saying I look like a crook.

As I mentioned, I absolutely always verify the statement. I record the transactions in Peachtree Accounting, and when I press the payment key for that particular card, why there they are. A quick reconciliation, and I'm ready to write and record the check. If they don't agree, it's usually just a charge recorded against the wrong card. My only issues in the past have been with subscriptions being helpfully renewed without inconveniencing me with the details. I deal with those immediately. I do regret giving up my Consumer's Report as a result of their helpfulness.

@Irishk,

What I thought to be funny is that I sometimes had to show an "ID-card" when purchasing something with my credit card in the USA.
My driver licence was accepted - my credit cards have my photo on it, and my driver licence isn't legally an ID-card ...

@Walter Hinteler,

Give them what they expect. They expect a driver license. A passport would only confuse them.

Well, my ID-card even confused the police (though it says in plain English "IDENTITY CARD" on it) Very Happy

Gov. Jan Brewer is a JOKE ... an utter embarrassment! And that's a kind as I can possibly be. OMFG!

Well, no, actually their policy is to safeguard themselves from fraud. Consumers are only responsible for the first $50 of fraudulent use and they oftentimes waive that. I don't object to it either but it's not really my wallet they're looking to protect.

Wow.

Hey, c.i. ... I've got your choice of bridges, which I will sell you at a tremendous price.

@Ticomaya,

You're the one who's already bought that bridge.

You see, when American Express found some fraudulant charges on my card last May when my wife and I were on vacation, they reversed all those charges, and replaced my credit card by sending the new card by Fed Ex. They didn't charge me a penny!

So, go screw yourself!

BTW, which bridge did you buy?

Another thought; so you paid your credit card company $50 bucks? LOL

That's my governor.

That 's not really what we deem to be a "SPEECH",
as much as casting her delegation 's votes, with a little local polish.

That is very, very common in political conventions.
I wish that I coud trade governors with u.
At least YOURS is an AMERICAN, at heart.

The point being, of course, that all she had to do was cast her delegation's votes, and not embarrass the state. She failed.

If she ever goes off-script, it's an ugly adventure.

The paradigm is to include the local color
during the vote-casting process.

At least she goes in the right ideological direction,
toward pro-Americanism. I wish I were so lucky with MY governor. Individual freedom is not very popular in NY.
