Not if they had to swipe it but they could use it to buy things on the web or over the phone.

don't just cut it up, call in and tell the credit card company you want the card cancelled


Charlie
Online or over the phone yea.


Jeff T
Perhaps.

A second layer of protection is to put half the pieces in this week's garbage, and half the pieces in next week's.

In person - probably not unless the cashier is an idiot
(Though if the thief can swipe it through a self-checkout and not get noticed, granted it works....)

Web/phone - sure


People keep talking about canceling the card - maybe it is a replacement card (current one about to expire) and the person is cutting up the old one? They may not want to cancel the account in that situation. If this is the case, cut up the old card AFTER it has expired - that way even if it is all taped together it can't be used. Cancel the account only if you truly want the account closed.

~~It's possible for it to be used if they can read all the numbers, then they can shop by mail or phone. Always shred those cards. You can contact the credit card co. and tell them you want it closed.~~

ONLINE OR OVER THE PHONE YES. BUT WHY DID YOU CALL AND CANCEL IT.


tholeeder
did you cancel it? if the account remains open and they get hold of the card they can use the account # and security code on the back to buy on line or over the phone ,it probably couldn't be used person to person,so report it to the bank and they will re-issue a new # and cancel the old.............tom
