Ordering Replacement Cards!?

Anonymous — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 19:30:57 GMT

Does anyone else order replacement cards when theirs get all worn and old looking due to swipe marks, age, etc? I like to keep my CC's fresh, so I tend to order new ones once or twice a year. Just wanted to see if anyone else does the same..

How does that metal sapphire preffered hold up to credit card readers? Does it get worn out sooner than plastic?

From what I've heard, it gets worn and scratched faster than regular plastic cards

It does scratch since its metal, but it doesn't look awful scratched up. It just shows your using it a lot! I'd rather have a heavy metal card scratched then a plastic card. Sadly having the CSP has made me give no love to my other cards. The one annoying feature is some cashiers have asked me if my card was fake (twice in the past week), but on the Other hand I've gotten multiple compliments on it.

How do you like it compared to your Zync (I just got mine a few days ago)? I was thinking about applying for the csp, but I'm not 100% sure.

I love it. "Yes ma'am, it sure is. Good catch!"

My csp is my favorite card by far, im about to sd the Amex and use my ink and csp... the rest of the cards are good skeet targets now ;-) you hate the feel of a normal cc after the csp

I keep mint condition "backups" of my two metal cards. I figure if I ever need to impress my DGF's parents I'll bring a shiny new card along.

I do this. I'm curious - what reason does everyone give for asking for a new one?

BofA used to charge to send out a replacement ages ago, but Chase hasn't charged me anything so far.

Any experiences?

Most don't charge. Just say the card is falling apart and can they send replacement so you can use it.

I just tell them I want to keep one in my wallet and one at my office.

Mine frequently get washed in the washing machine, or left in my car in my wallet which causes them to have a permanent bent shape. When they get hard to swipe I just call the issuer and ask for a replacement, Discover doesn't charge for a replacement. When cards melt, it causes the numbers not to be raised anymore FYI
