Since losing the resident's card id, I have had to id myself for credit card purposes using my passport at Hyper Simply!  I have a cliente card and regularly shop there and believe that if you show them a British driving licence as id, the checkout staff treat you like a vampire and shy away from that.  Has anyone out there used any other id for credit card purposes at Hyper Simply other than a british passport?

When shopping at Carrefour in Vinaros a few months ago, the checkout girl seemed astounded that I presented my passport to confirm my id for my credit card. She said that, in future, you only need to show a driving licence id card.  Is it just Tortosa that runs scared when Brits use a credit card, even though it is a spanish bank account credit card?

If it's of any help, I always use my driving licence and have never had a problem.  I think they only need to check that the names are the same on both.

I would use my Driving license If I had one!!

Will My Bus Pass Do?

I am surprised. I thought Hyper Simply were really lax regarding I.D. The few times I have used a card it was with any I.D. I had with me, Passport, driving license, even another card and a bill from telefonica. I was starting to believe even a photo of me, signed by my mum would have done ;D

Thanks to everyone that replied to my post.  I will try my driving licence in future.
