"Naturally, if you use a Master Card to buy your gas, you'll
never see these [credit card slips], but Master Card probably
has warehouses full of them"
Actually what they have is cabinets full of microfilm. Credit card
slips are treated just like checks, except that some banks still send
the original checks to the customer after they've been photographed.

I believe American Express actually sends you a copy of the slip in addition to the one you get at the time of purchase. Ilya Goldberg ...!ucbvax!ilya

In fact, for car rentals and airline tickets, they already have discontinued sending the actual slip ("signature on file"). Expect an announcement of "to serve you better" and "a new feature" of American Express, actual sales slips will no longer be sent, except upon special individual request. Will probably happen within next year...

Sue him for libel, why don't you. You'll also notice that he rearranged your message a little, and inserted the "[credit card slips]" comment. You don't suppose he did all that just because he wanted to make an informative comment, and only extracted the part of your message he wanted to responded to, adding something to make up for lost context? Nah, couldn't be. He most have been trying to smear your good name. Scott McEwan {ihnp4,pur-ee}!uiucdcs!mcewan "Hideously disfigured by Indian curse? We can help!
