Answer #1

That’s…unusual. Usually all you have to do is call them up and verify the card….I’m not sure where all this is coming into play - maybe it’s an American thing? What kind of card is it?

Answer #2

I had to do this for my American Express card (I do live in Canada). I mailed them a copy of my hydro bill, which showed my name and mailing address, they said it was a final verification step to prove you are who you say you are and to avoid fraud (ie: people trying to get cards under someone else’s name). I didn’t have to do this for my Visa or Mastercard, just the Amex.
