Awareness
AWARENESS: Reposting from Gary Hashimoto "PLEASE read thoroughly and don’t “shoot the messenger!” As an FYI to those saying that it’s store policy to ask for an ID, or that it’s stupid for a business to not ask for an ID, you should know this: “Both Visa and MasterCard prohibit merchants from requiring customer ID as a condition for accepting their credit or debit cards. All you need is a signed card, and of course the signatures must match. American Express says it doesn't ban merchants from requiring customer ID, though it discourages the practice. But it does ban merchants from treating Amex holders differently than any other cardholder. Discover told us that merchants are free to request ID if they want to. If you're a Visa cardholder and a merchant presses you for an ID, Visa says you should notify your card issuer. In the case of Amex, notify American Express directly. MasterCard customers should report the violation by visiting the company's merchant violation web page.” Oh and I believe EVERY card has “AUTHORIZED SIGNATURE” or “Not valid unless signed,” or “Use of this card is subject to the cardholder agreement,” so “See ID” actually absolves the CC company from any liability. Again don’t preach to me, try taking it up with your bank or see if your elected officials will do something." If you encounter this, contact HPD (Honolulu Police Department) at 911 non-emergency.
