No. Providing signed agreements increase the costs of doing business and these costs would ultimately be passed on to the consumer as higher rates or higher fees. When you signed the application and the credit card company approved you, you innately accept the contract as binding without having an explicit signature from a member of the issuing organization.
After one completes an application and the credit card issuer makes a positive lending decision, the new cardholder will receive a welcome packet. In that packet will be one or more new credit cards, a welcome letter and quite a bit of fine print known as the Contract of Terms and Conditions (usually called Ts and Cs). Within those Ts and Cs are sections that state that the issuer has entered into an agreement with the cardholder and that the cardholder does not require a signature to complete the agreement.
Also, the card itself is considered a contract. When you sign the back of the card, you are saying that you agree to the Ts and Cs (and the fact that the issuer does not need to sign explicitly for there to be a valid contract). Finally, when you use the card, you affirm the binding contract.
