Reverse that -- it isn't that there isn't a requirement for id, but
that they are forbidden from refusing to accept your card because you
don't show it.
On-line is completely different as are phone
transactions, they are both card-not-present transactions. I'm pretty
sure they can't require ID on that either, but it has been quite a while
since I read one of the merchant agreements.

is that the same requirement for online merchants? The rules are
different there and I wouldn't make any assumptions.

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:
