The only exceptions are if you are just trying to get some general information and don't need to ever cite it. It doesn't matter if it is a credit card or a phone company or a cable company or a store: if it is something important you should always ask who you are speaking with. I learned it the hard way some years ago. Don't remember what it was, but it wasn't a credit card issue.Tomaste - this is a good idea. Thanks for the tip.
