If you use a credit card for purchases at stores in East Hawaii (and everywhere else) you may notice some changes in April, as many businesses will no longer require that you sign a receipt for your purchase. Here's the updated info I received this morning:
Soon you won't need to ask your customers to sign receipts to complete in-person transactions. Beginning April 2018, the major card associations – American Express®, Discover®, Mastercard® and Visa® – will no longer require a cardholder's signature at checkout. This speeds up the checkout process, and can help create an overall positive experience for your customers.
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
* If you want to continue requiring a cardholder's signature – regardless of the transaction amount – that's okay. Chip-enabled point-of-sale systems will still support signature as a cardholder verification method. Check with your point-of-sale solution provider to understand your options.
* For Visa, no signature required only applies to businesses using chip-enabled devices.
There will probably be some differences at individual stores (and whether or not you have a chip enabled VISA), but hopefully it will shave a few seconds off each transaction - - good for long lines at KTA or that person in front of you who struggles with a pen.
If you want to combine the dual pleasures of insanity and social acceptance, religion is your only choice. - Last Aphorisms
