Can I use my friends credit card without them being at the store?

She offered to use her credit card and pay half of the repairs on my vehicle. Neither one of us have enough credit to pay for the whole thing on one credit card. Now she can't come with me but she said she would give me her card to use.





Can I do that? Do I need her written permission or something?|||We run a mechanics workshop and I DO check signatures every time someone pays with their credit card. One thing she can do (noting I am in Australia and I dont know if its the same everywhere) is to get her to call the workshop and give her details over the phone (some places accept this others dont so check ahead about this - personally I would be iffy about it) Another thing you could do is get her to draw cash out at an ATM and give it to you - you go in and pay half with her cash and the other half with your credit card... I guess the short of it would be if you came into our workshop with someone elses credit card I wouldnt accept it and we would withold the car until payment could be made. Sorry probably not the answer you were after but try the cash way - (It will probably cost her a little more in fees but you could pay her back the extra)|||Nope not usually. Some merchants will not split a bill with two cards. She and you need to go down there.|||Your friend just has to call the store and tell them that you are using it.|||probably. very few places ask for ID anymore.|||there is no friend, there is no car--you stole some old ladys credit card and you want to see how you can use it.








Crack will make you do weird things!|||she can get you a card with your name and all that


but it's not best that you take her card and use it.


it would get you into a world of TROUBLE.|||Depends on the person at the counter. Legally your friend is supposed to be there to sign (if she is not there to sign and for some reason gets mad at you she can get you arrested for forgery) If the person at the counter does not look at the card you would get away with it but most stores will check. I have even had people at stores not let me use my husbands card when he is not there|||Yes, You will be able to use her credit card if they don't ask for your ID, but I doubt it will work because you will be paying with your card and hers. I would still get written permission from her anyway even though the repair man won't take it..This situation could back fire and she could say that you used it without her permission. It will probably work best if you get it in writing and then do a cash advance on her car at a ATM machine|||No, and 99% of the time you cannot have her "write a note" saying it's ok, because they don't know who that is that wrote that note. It's not like High School. Besides, when you walk up there with two different credit cards, that is NOT going to look good. They will hold your car, because they will check one of the cards when you come up with two.|||Hopefully Not. They will neeed HER signature!|||car places don't care who pays the bill as long as someone does.but you could get into a world of hurt. why are you getting your car repaired if you don't have the money. can she come with you later in the day?





She needs to come with you.
