People in the US routinely give their cards to other people to use (e.g. relatives). Yet banks tell everyone never to disclose your PIN. So using PINs would prevent card lending which would reduce bank's income.


So... do the relatives forge the signature instead? How is that better?


I always just sign my name and consider it acting as an authorized agent.


Signatures are not checked in the US.


Maybe they should stop lending their personal credentials.
