I've lost one joint-name credit card - but need the other?

I've just relaised I have lost my wallet last night on a motorway service station, which had my switch card and a credit card in it.

The missus still has her credit card, which we had planned to use tomorrow for a shopping trip, but if I report mine as lost will it cancel her card as well?

The number on the card is the same, but it has her name on it.

Anything I can do? Don't want to wait too long understandably...!

    Report it lost now.
    Because it is the same number, your wife's card will almost certainly be stopped too - but safer by far to have that inconvenience than the problems of a mis-used card where you haven't notified the card company.
