Should I sign the back of my credit card?
The Truston ID theft blog has some good info on this question I often hear from consumers. A lot of people prefer to write "Ask for I.D." rather than signing it. But that can get you in trouble. Your credit cards need to be signed.
Read on for the explanation.

Hi, This is Tom the CEO of Truston and I wrote that blog post. I'd like to clarify that you can't "get in trouble" in a legal way if you don't sign your credit card. The worst that would happen is you'd be asked to sign it by a merchant and if you didn't you COULD be refused the use of your credit card. But it is totally legal to not sign your credit card. I just think the benefits are slim to none.
