Photos On Credit Cards

[Taggart]

None of my credit cards have my photo on them. I'm surprised, because a few years ago I thought that this was going to be standard.

How many, if any of your credit cards display your photo?

Just wondering...

I'd be for it, but really it's not a big deal for me because if somebody actually did steal my card and use it I can report it to Visa and I'm not liable for the purchase. That is a standard policy on every card now I believe..

I haven't heard of this before. I'm wondering how they'd even make that happen... they'd have to their cameras all over, wouldn't they? (Like the license people). Couldn't just go by a photo someone sends in, after all... that would open up a whole new fraud area.

That's a good point... I don't see how they could get pictures and be sure who it was unless you sent your license in, but even so. It seems like a waste of time for a small benefit.
