So, I get things in the mail all the damn time “You are Pre-Approved!!!” just log on and get your card with this code…so I would. Only I would change the names that I would get on the cards with the codes (and pick a Social like a Lotto number). Boy did I ever get some cards in the years…never did I use any and when I got them I would call the issuer and let them know they are idiots…I found this one tonight…cant beleive they sent it ($10,000 credit line at that).
Other names I got cards in…
Satan D. Princeofdarkenss

That’s pretty funny. But I assume they have your real social security number, and they’re polling your credit report each time. Playing with fire a little bit, there.
Not as risky, but I do the same thing with all those new digital credit card signature pads everywhere. I always put in things like, “VOID,” “Not my card,” or just like a big sketch of a penis, because penises are always funny. No one’s stopped me yet. I think I’ve gotten some funny looks from a couple of cashiers, but that’s about it.
Pretty funny stuff. But posting this on a public internet forum is not exactly smart. This is probably considered fraud. (even though you don’t charge anything).
I prefer drawing little piles of steaming doo-doo or my old stand-by is “check ID”.
Sort of off topic but, the other week I was at a resturant and service was horrible (i.e. completely lacking). I usually tip well because I know food service workers have to deal with a lot of a-holes and BS. But, this guy just plain sucked and I sat there for 15 mins with my CC out trying to get him to bring the bill. So, instead of not leaving a tip i put “-$5.00 for bad service” then subtracted the $5 from the total at the bottom. I gave the bill to the manager, she looked at it, kept walking and then stopped and looked at it again. She showed it to another server and I think they were laughing. I am assuming they will just charge me the actual cost of the food but, if I get the $5 discount that would be sweet! However, if they charged me a $5 tip, I will disputing the charges.

I was in Mazatlan last week and signed with a smiley face when I first charged something. Every time I charged anything at one of the stores for the next 4 days a 3x5 blow up of my lame smiley face popped up on the cashier’s monitor. Glad I didn’t go with an f-off or a penis.
