Interesting. Was this recently? I would NEVER give my CC to a Macy's or whatever to get their credit card. What is needed to run a credit check is the name, social security number, and date of birth. The photo ID just helps to verify the person applying matched the info. A CC number doesn't do anything.
Sort of like back in the day when you couldn't write a check without a credit card. As my mom used to say, "If the check bounces, the law does not allow you to charge the amount to my card". They always claimed it was for signature verification, but when she offered he driver's license and work id w/signature, they pitched a fit.
She ended up giving a cancelled credit card instead!
