I dont have a SSN so we left it blank, in a couple of weeks we both got the American Express card and when it came time to activate it my mother just used her SSN to activate both card. I mainly just use it to buy stuff over the phone or online bacause I dont have an ID to show it to a sales clerk at a store. But hey at least that kinda helps build my credit alittle. |
though i also have a passport that i flash...
although the 3 times tat i have used a credit card,
they didnt even bother to ask for id

I don't have a photo on my debit card though. So they said to you if you wanted to add your photo on it, they could do it? |

I guess it's better than nothing but it certainly doesn't qualify as photo ID anywhere (then again I could be wrong, I've heard some strange things on this forum). |
well J6, i mean i guess its different in NY, the reason why its so important to me here in NV, is b/c i can now apply for a health card, (in NV, you need a photo id (my bankcard w/ photo and a birth certificate) if i dont have a state i.d./ with that health card, i can get a job in any family restaurant, b/c most of these just hire people, as long as they have a health card, b/c the health dept., really buckles down on business who have employees that don't have a health card.

^Wow they have some lax laws in NV. Still, I'm glad at least some of us can benefit.
