I'm glad HT had the good sense to cancel his card, better safe than sorry.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent

I know - I insist that he keeps most of his money in a separate account so if he loses it properly there's not enough in there for any pin free transactions to go through.Sun_Addict said:What are they like 🙄 Glad he found it though, at least he knows no one dodgy has picked it up.2 -
He actually asked me to cancel it but I was out with my friend and couldn't get into the HT's account anyway so I told him he'd have to figure out how to do it himself. Luckily he had some free time in college to do it.Baileys_Babe said:I'm glad HT had the good sense to cancel his card, better safe than sorry.2 -
You have given him an opportunity to learn a valuable lesson 🤗CRANKY40 said:

I think sometimes you can just reactivate the cancelled one? I’m sure in my Monzo (which I only really use for pots) there’s a way you can stop and then restart your card. So if it’s mislaid, but not 100% stolen you can stop it while you look. I could be making this up, but I’m sure I saw that 😁Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

@WinterWarrior, H@lif@x have a service like that as well. My middle child has had to put his on hold a few times while he tries to locate it in his cesspit 🙄. But it will depend what HT has done, he may have cancelled it proper.
@CRANKY40 it may be worth investigating whether HTs account has this for next time but well done him on working out how to do something. Good life lesson.3 -
You can freeze Mastercard issued debit cards but not Visa ones I believe. Clearly I’m aware of this after my own “lost card” incident last week… 🙄😂🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Ahh interesting - Sant-And-Er only offer freeze options for the debit cards on Mastercard ones. N@t1onwide only offer a freeze option on their credit cards I believe.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

It’s weird the way different banks operate so differently from each other when obviously the technology is available.2
