Cut up your credit cards!

Batfink

I have discovered that my shredder does a good job on credit cards too - you really get some thin strips then, so no chance of making them back into a card!

after reading this thread, i went and applied for an increase of credit!! not quite sure if i'll get it or not, but we shall see.. i've got a large expense coming up and there's no way i can afford it.. ahhh

well done everyone!

one of you mentioned that fraudsters can make use old cut cards... only if they are live, right? not once they have been cancelled...

I will def. do an artwork to celebrate my debt free-ness of my cards. And I will show it to my kids one day (once I have kids) , hopefully they will be moneysavers from the start and not stupid like their mum

let's do a credit card artowrk competition

I have a vision of a huge collage of cut up cards somewhere really public like Trafalgar Square-with a long line of DFWs and others all standing in line to add their own personal contribution -TV cameras rolling. Martin attending and then a huge party right there afterwards to celebrate.

Well I'm sure the board reps will pass it along if they like the idea !!
Maybe Hyde Park would make a better venue...more space........or how about.......outside the Bank of England ?

On the walls of the bank of england! but I personally would prefer to use it as tapestry on the outside of the HSBC tower in Canary Wharf...

aaggrrhhhhhhhhhh
i keep going to the top of the tall cupboard with a pair of scissors, but i just cant bring myself to do it !:( i`m scared) 3 of them are ok because i`ve never spent on them (they were all balance transfers) HOWEVER the 4th which is my main headache, is the one thats used in emergancies, or for things that have to be paid for by paypal !
i know i have to do it eventually, but without my crutch i might fall over !!!!
