I haven't had to show a credit card since I got mine, and I feel a whole lot better. Before that, I used to show them the American Express card that my company got for me. Since I never use it for anything, I figured it would be a whole lot easier to spot spurious charges. -- Sue Brezden Real World: Room 1B17 Net World: ihnp4!drutx!slb AT&T Information Systems 11900 North Pecos Westminster, Co. 80234 (303)538-3829 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your god may be dead, but mine aren't. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The only thing we ever got that was close was "WELCOMECHECK" cards here, that were supposed to be honored at "participating" merchants. Well, the few people I did find that the logo on their window, didn't even want to see my card so I can't tell that having one did me any good. -Ron
