Ever lose your debit/credit card?

I once lost, or thought I did, a gas card. I filled up my car at a local station. Then, my daughter and I left with her children for Florida. When we got down there, I went to fill up her car and NO card! Thank goodness I had money with me. My husband was home, and I called him to tell him to get it stopped, not knowing where it was. Turned out, when we got home, and I visited the last place I bought gas, she handed me my card. I had accidentally left it on the counter when I turned to leave. A few weeks ago, I had bought stamps at the post office. Later I could not find my Discover card and thought I had maybe left it there. I remembered getting in my car, laying the ticket and stamps on the console and later putting the stamps in my purse. I went through my purse 3 times and no card. Later that night, I said, Lord let me find my card. I just had a thought to go look on my console, and, sure enough, there it was!! Really made me feel good, not having to stop that one.

I have forgotten a debit card at a gas station before. Well, actually I did not forget it exactly. The girl behind the counter did not give it back to me and I was in a hurry on my way to work. I realized it was gone when I got off of work. The girl that worked there took it and used it for over $100 worth of stuff in the time it took me to notice it was missing.

I lost my debit card and never have found it. I don't even know where I could have left it. I had to cancel the card and get a new one that took over a month to get, the bank had some lame excuse for it but, that didn't matter to me. It all happened on a weekend and on Monday I was able to get a temporary card which only was good for 2 week and they shut it off on a Sunday grrrr.

Thankfully I haven't but I have a story about a friend. A few years ago we went out to the bar and while a bunch of us were dancing someone took off with her purse. We scoured the bar and the street outside with no luck. She went home and went through all her stuff, cancelling everything that was in her wallet at 3 am. The next day she got a phone call and the guy said 'oh, hi, this is the guy who gave you a ride home last night. You left your purse in my car'. She got a ride with us so it wasn't her that left the purse behind, it was the thief! The driver was just being a nice guy and he looked at her ID, looked her name up in the phone book and called to let her know he had it. They showed up at her place within an hour and she wasn't missing anything at all. Now THAT is what I call luck!

Yea it has happened to me before, managed to loose my entire wallet a long time ago, cards and all. I tried looking all over the place for it, re tracing my steps but in the end I had to give up. After cancling everything, about three months later I found it in my other trousers :/ not impressed ...

you are lucky can found it back thru restaurant you'd eaten at....im havent been lost debit/credit card at the moment,but i have lost my purse in some times ago..

Wow..good that you were able to recover it. It happened to me, I thought I lost my credit card and after a day, I called up the office to cut it off since I cannot find it. I got another card and in my surprise, after cleaning all my purses, I found the old one in one of my purses that I stopped using...

I've had mine stolen but I've never lost it. I'm paranoid about it now. You were lucky that it was still there at the restaurant and that they sent it back to you!

I have lost my debit card before. I just cancelled it and ordered another one.

I'm so glad that you got the card back. They were kind people. Yes, I have lost my credit card and it has caused me no end of trouble as I had to wait over a week before I could get another one. And I use my credit card in my part time job so it was not nice at all. I do hope tha tyo are all settled in your new home. You must feel less stressed now. I hope tha tyou all enjoiyed your visit to the zoo. It is so important just to get out of the house. Now I'm ramblingBlessings

No, never left or lost my credit card but I did once leave my check book at a phone booth. Luckily it was still at the phone booth when I returned to look for it, I breathed a sigh of relief when I found it.

No I have never lost my debit or credit card. Im greatfull for it. I hope I continue to have that luck. Im glad the restaurant found it and is mailing it back to ya'll.

I have lost my card before. I went to the ATM and actually left my card in the machine. I didn't realize that I didn't have my card until the next day when I went to the store to buy something. I was freaking out in the store as that is a very scary experience to have to go through. I couldn't imagine where I had left my card and if some one had it if they were going to be able to use it. Mind you I don't sign any of my cards so that you have to show id when you try to use it, however not to many merchants actually ask me for my id when I use the card. They barely even ask me to see my card. That is very scary if you think about it. Especially with all the identity theft going on nowadays. I ended up calling my bank to report my card lost and they let me know that they have my card. LOL I left my card in the ATM machine and it ate it as that's what they do if you leave your card in the machine and no one else comes to use the ATM. I will not let that happen again if I can help it.

I have lost my debit card before at a high school basketball game. It was in my wallet and I guess I dropped it some how. I got it back, the janitor found my wallet and brought it to the main office, which my wife works at. I was extremely scared when I had first learned that I lost it because someone could have charged items and goods on my account with my credit card as well as found out what my address was and more of personal information. Be careful with your wallet and your credit cards. Good luck!

I have lost my credit card once and I don't know where it felt. I called and blocked the credit card and asked for a reissue of the credit card because I never got it back. After many days, I got the new one reissued. I once lost my check, which I got as a payment of home transcription. I called them and they called the bank and stopped the check from collection and reissued a new cheque of salary to me.

I too lost my wallet and all my credit and debit cards and lots of other stuff as well ! had a tough time getting things sorted out, it took a while to do that..

hmmm..if i lost my credit card.. i would cancel it and tell them to send me a new one... you never know in whose hand your credit card has been.. just to be in the safe side you know.....

Thank God,I have never lost one.But just few days back,my sister lost her debit card while on the way home.She had put it in her wallet as usual,and when she returned home,it wasn't there in her wallet.She called the banked immediately and her card was blocked.She went looking everywhere but she couldn't get it back.Now,she has to wait for another new debit card and the banks haven't issued her new card yet.Good day!

I have never lost my card. I would think that it would be a very stressful situation. I think that you were very lucky that you could get yours back.

I loose my credit cards on a regular basis, generally I loose them in my house, which is a good thing. But I have left them on my desk at work, even in the restrooms there. I always get it back which is just lucky for me.
