Ultimately, it’s the Credit Card company that’s making the money here.

Yes, that was what I was trying to say. Would it matter to Visa that a company is going against their ID policy as long as Visa is making money from said company? Like you said, I guess if it discouraged a great amount of card holders from doing business with that company… it’s an interesting idea.

I’m happy that more secure payment methods, specifically mobile payment methods such as Apple Pay, are becoming more mainstream. Tokenization-based card transactions are definitely much more preferable for everyone. Like I said earlier, since your information is more likely to be stolen as a result of a massive data breach versus a specific, isolated event, my card data being kept as safe as possible is definitely my biggest concern.

(Sorry for hijacking the topic everyone, haha)

My corporate card is an american express, which 100% influences were I eat when I’m traveling. It sucks because the selection is small.

When people find out your business doesn’t accept Visa, they’ll simply stop using your business. It sucks, but they kinda have your nuts in a vice for now. Someday when everyone is using their phones to make payments, the big 4 card companies will be SOL.

Over of the main reasons I absolutely refuse to show any cashier my drivers license when they request it. Why would I show my personal information to a complete stranger including full name and birthdate?

Uhh because it’s a government issued ID that can be used to verify the name on the card. They’re also suppose to verify the signature on the back of cards but that never happens anymore.

But that’s my point. The only thing they are required to do per the terms they agreed to is verify the signature on the card with the signature on the sales slip, nothing else. ID not required unless the card is not signed. But yeah, they almost never check the card anyway, except places like Staples and Lowe’s which prompt the cashier to manually enter the last 4 digits of the card, forcing them to look at it. I think that’s a great idea!
