Just be aware that
it violates the merchant agreement for a seller to refuse your
transaction with a Visa or MasterCard because you don't show ID. Of
course, your card also isn't valid unless you sign it ("See ID" isn't
valid for that), but stores will still usually accept. This article
talks about it a bit along with why you *shouldn't* show your ID for
credit card transactions:
