The credit card compmay agreed with me that I didn't have to show my ID and told me they put the merchant on probabtion, whatever that means.
Isn't there some MC or VISA Merchant Agreement that one could print out and show vendors who insist on ID for credit card transactions? My understanding is that demanding ID violates the Merchant Agreements, but not having seen one, I don't know.
