Thread: Using someone elses credit card?

When I use my mom's credit card to take my pet's to the vet, I always sign my name on the receipt. But when people use my grandma's credit card, they always sign her name. A few weeks ago at the grocery store a woman used her credit card and let her child sign the receipt.

So whose name should be signed, the person using it or the card holder's name? If I signed the card holder's name, wouldn't that be forgery?

Also, I only use my mom's credit card at places where I know the employees and they know me (like at the vet's). Does anyone think there would be a problem if I used my mom's credit card at a store, like Target or Kohl's? Sometimes they check I.D. and compare signatures. I don't want to be told that they won't accept someone elses credit card as that would be embarrassing.

BTW, I am over 18, but I don't have my own credit card as I don't have a job right now. I do have money, but I don't like to carry a lot of cash on me and I get flustered (anxiety) when paying by check so I don't use them.

I used to have "see Id" on my signature. However alot of places never asked and when they did it was a bother so now I don't do that. As for my signature I never do my real one and no one ever says anything. As for electronic signature at the grocery store I just scribble jibberish. Its a dumb system and my card and signature has never been rejected

At grocery stores, in the signature line, I have written random words like "tree" and "fish" and they never say anything. haha
