Some stores in PA will not accept your credit card if it is not signed. My husband was not able to charge wine in the PA State Stores (which is the only place to buy liquor or wine in PA!) I had to run in and use my card to make our purchase. diane Very late addtition to this information, but be careful about putting “see ID for verification.” Some stores in PA will not accept your credit card if it is not signed.

So they check your driver's license instead of your signature on the back of the credit card. This might seem like a pain but nothing like having your identity stolen for you to do the little extra things. Instead of signing the back of your credit card, write “see ID for verification”.
