You are correct that a merchant does not have to accept the card without a signature. While most ask to see my ID... I, as of yet haven't had anyone refuse my card. I wasn't even aware they could refuse service until your post.
It was in fact our bank that told us to do this when both our cards were compromised in the same week and neither one of us used them at the same place.
I understand after being refused by a merchant why you would sign yours... I will continue to take my chances.
Thanks for the information... Always trying to learn.
