How do you dispose of your credit card slips?
I used to tear them in 2 and put each piece in a different bin bag (one being a really messy one in the kitchen or the bathroom!), then I got a shredder, but it kept jamming, so I'm back to the first method! Some of them actually have the whole 16-digit number on!

I work for a building society you should take them into whoever you bank with and ask them to dispose of them in their confidential waste I'm sure they won't mind and it will prevent fraud on your accounts.


happy chappy
after hearing about yobs picking papers up from rubbish dumps a few years ago i got a shredder from Tesco for a tenner,now i know it would take lots of time to sort that out so i`m happier with that.


linzi
Have you tried getting a new shredder, think the cross shredders are better, i didn't think slips were meant to have the whole 16 digit No. Should only have the last 3 or 4. pour water over them, the print on the slips should fade away if you use your hands in the water and just keep crumpling them up till they are done. that was just a brainwave, but may work

I shred mine. I've been the victim of I.D fraud and it was because of my own carelessness. I spent months trying to get my money back and eventually did but you really can't be too careful


Yerba74, Free Hugs
Tear the numbers first ( burn..shred grill .trim..eat)...Then..dispose as you wish!


progunr
You need a better shredder! I can put 7 pages in at a time and mine has never jammed. As thin as a credit card slip is, how many are you trying to shred at the same time?


Daisy the cow
Try one of the cross cut shredders, that's what I use and it works really well. Also, try not to put more than 2-3 pieces of paper through at the same time.


Libby
Burn them, chew them and swallow them, flush them in the potty!

How about burning them,just a thought.

Shredder, everything of Finance etc gets shredded by my powerful crossshredder.

Although, they say that ID Fraud is getting so bad, you need a personal incenerator.

My girlfriend is grossed out by this but I usually just pop em' into my mouth and chew em' up until they look like tiny little pieces of gum and then spit them out. By that time, if someone wants to try and get my cc numbers off them, good luck! lol.


RM
Wow, I'm amazed at the answers! Doesn't anyone just chuck 'em in the bin like me???
