If I get cashback on my laser card I am often asked to initial it on the receipt but this is in addition to either entering my PIN or signing the receipt
Thanks for responding guys,
No, this was a quick, small purchase transaction. No cashback. And she stopped me mid-signature and said it was the 'new policy' to get a printed name. I obliged without thinking. This morning I called the shop. The lady who answered didn't really understand what I was asking, but wasn't aware of any policy, but urged me not to worry.. she said when they swipe the card, it can come up with 'pin error', even before the code is entered, which tells them they need a signature as opposed to a pin. But she didn't know of any need to get a printed name. Anyway, I guess I will call a few banks on Monday and speak to the the cashcard retail systems departments.. just seemed odd. I noted that my laser card number was printed in full on the slip (as opposed to partially xxx'd out), so now someone effectively has all my card details..
Sure we'll see I guess. If it turns into anything I suppose I will have to launch a one-woman anti-scam crusade.. could have worse hobbies eh.
Thanks again..
I know in superquin or Tesco if you use the 'Self service' checkout and pay via laser card then the assistant has to come down and make you physically sign the receipt...you never get to enter a PIN
Really? I used the self service checkout in Tesco on Friday, paid by laser, entered my PIN, all requiring no intervention from one of the ever so attentive Tesco "support executives".
I find some of the practices in many stores a bit weird though. Quite a lot of the chain stores swipe your card through their own till system then use a seperate chip and pin machine to actually process the transaction. I always find this extremely worrying.
