maddy,
a quick story about that signature deal...bigbad took my card to the hardware store, the clerk asked to see it to verify the signature, bigbad signed his own name and she never batted an eye while comparing what he signed to the signature on the back of my card.

after digging a little deeper into these types of companies i am seriously considering paying in cash for anything i can and ditching those stupid grocery store member discount cards (i think i finally understand the *real* reason behind those things now. it has always bugged me that i needed a card to get their sale prices, now i know i don't need the card, they need my shopping profile so they can make the money back they lost on their sale stuff by selling my stuff...bastages!). i know it won't keep everything out of their slimy technical tenticles but some at least.
