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.

I've never had one declined for lack of signature except at the post office. I think it is just their own regs. Don't know why, though, when you subsequently pony up credible photo I.D. That's got to be more proof than just a signature.
