but she says they dont check, but do they?

i might just go use my own bank card but if i could get a couple things and have my mom pay that would be sweeet

Answer 1

Have your Mom add you as a secondary cardholder on the account - then you have a card in your name. For MOST companies (I cannot guarantee for all) a secondary cardholder does not have to undergo a credit check. This way, you do not have to feel guilty when you use the card since it is in your name, and your Mom is still officially the account holder, so will officially be responsible for charges applied on the card.

If the local Wal-Mart is NOT checking ID's or singatures, they are in violation of their merchant contracts - whether it speeds up service ot not - they are opening up cusotmers for fraud.

Answer 4

walmart check id credit card

Answer 5

Usually if you use it as Debit, they don't check, because you need to know the PIN. But if it is strictly a credit card, they will probably ask for ID. Especially if the back of the card says "PLEASE SEE ID" which is the best thing to write on the card instead of having a signature.

Answer 6

Legally, you can't your her card. Most stores these days, Wal-mart included never even look at the card. They have readers set up so the customer swipe the card and the cashier doesn't even know if its a Visa or a MasterCard.

I use my card at wal-mart all the time and they have never once ask for ID. If they do for some reason, tell them you have permission to use the card, they can call your mother to verifty you have permission to use the card.

Answer 9

It is not against the law to check for id and it is also not against the law not to check for id. However, in some countries it against the MasterCard and Visa policy to check for ID.

Answer 10

They do check unless you use the self check out line.

It is often easier to get paid back from you mom then to hassle with the clerk's.
