Destroy metal cards??

Got the replacement for my RitzCarlton card due to misspelled first name.

 

How do I destroy the metal card? It is the same number as the replacement!  Don't think my shredder will be able to handle.  Any ideas? TIA!

You can ask them to send you an envelope and mail it back to them and believe they pay postage on it or get creative or just lock it away in a safe, etc... Probably will be same CC # and CVV etc.

1. Grind down edges.

2. Replace in wallet.

3. Use as a ninja star in the event of attack.

You can probably destroy it using tin snips or garden shears.

Was thinking that or heading to Mount Doom in the Black Land of Mordor and throwing it into the molten lava pit!  Smiley Wink
