:o) If you can spend 20,000 a year on credit cards and pay them off we live in different neighborhoods...:O)
And I am happy for you..... GG
PS On my last Alaskan Cruise to get out of Vancouver I needed my birth cert. Social Security card marriage license and drivers license
Son In law was pulled out of line and we sat for 45 minutes without him...daughter finally found out it was because of an unpaid traffic ticket 20 years earlier...they had to make him a temporary Canadian Citizen before he could get on the cruise ship, other wise he would have to fly to our first port of call in the United States. We cruised the inside passage....and that was only a couple of years ago..
May we see your papers sir or madam...goes on all the time..I live in Michigan and also have to show drivers license to vote...Michigan passed the law...all of the states should...
They have in our little town in Utah! Last Fall, for the very first time in all my voting life!
Well, by dollar total, most of it was business travel booked online. Of course, I needed to show ID to fly, to rent cars, and stay at hotels (usually). But that wasn't specifically about the card — I would have needed to show ID even paying cash. In fact, they would have checked harder if I'd paid in cash. Or refused the transaction altogether, in the case of car rentals.
However, by transaction count, the bulk of my card usage was miscellaneous personal expenses — grocery store, gas station, restaurant, department store, even a newspaper vending machine at DFW. All in person (card present
, in industry lingo), and they almost never even checked the signature, much less asked for supplementary ID.
My biggest single credit card transaction was in 2007. I spent about $15k in person at the local Apple store, outfitting a newly formed business with computers. No ID needed. A week later, I did get a phone call from American Express asking about the unusual activity
. I assured them everything was cool and the bill would be paid in full, and it was (I had just deposited the company reimbursement check). Points!

Temporary Canadian Citizen, eh? I wonder what the birthers would have to say about that if he ever ran for president.

Yes, they should! It's amazing Granholm didn't veto it.
