This is a question Corporate Idiocy

Comedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

Oo, I like the sound of that
Am assuming it doesnt work in cashpoints but in a shop I would love that. Do you need to sign or just give it them?

Sign. I work in card customer service for Evil Corporation PLC, and we occasionally get requests for these cards. You put it in the terminal and it prints a slip like the old mag stripe cards. You'd still need a PIN for use at cash machines, but counter service in banks and cashback from till monkeys is a reasonable work around. Also, debit cards will soon have NFC capability, so it'll be just tap and go for small transactions.
