I know, I know. It plainly says "not valid unless signed" on the back, but I usually just write SEE ID and it's almost never questioned. I've had a few people actually ask for my ID, but what is the point in putting your siggy on the back so a thief knows what it looks like?
I hadn't for awhile because my siggy does not fit and I'm lazy. However, I decided to lately and if a thief gets my cc - I'll just get new cc's. I'm more concerned with someone getting my cc through electronic means.

I do sign them, mostly because it's part of the exciting thrill of getting my new CC in the mail 
And like another poster mentioned, I'm not too worried about a would-be thief copying my signature. I can barely match my own signature, it varies on everything I sign, depending on my mood, the medium, etc. Since I check my accounts every day, all I would have to do is report fradulent activity and receive new cards. I don't really carry every single type of identification with me at the same time, so it's very unlikely for a thief to be opening up other accounts or dipping into other accounts in my name with my signature.

I'm sure you know issuers require cc's to be signed. An unsigned cc just allows someone to sign your name and then sign every transaction without any hesitation. I'd rather them, try to scrawl out my doctor looking signature each time! Lol

The question came up on my debit card that was misplaced. My CU asked me if it was signed ( it wasn't cause I only use it at ATMs and for cashback) I figured PIN purchases - why sign? Since, like most debit cc it was a check card they were able to use it for a few hours before it was canceled. Can't say if they actually signed my cc but they sure misspelled my first name on each transaction.
