Lost a CC

I lost my Credit One Bank CC. I know this is a sub par prime card, but do CC companies normally charge a fee to replace a lost or stolen card? I'm new at this but the $25 fee seemed unrealistic.

WaMu charges for replacement cards too.  It's in the disclosure.  Dumb huh?  This was the first I had ever heard of that.

Put it this way, good CCC's do not. I'm trying to remember from your other posts --aren't you in a position where you can live without the physical card? As long as it isn't used by someone else, this could be the ultimate sock-drawer --use it for an online order every 6 months, if you can remember the exp date and the security code.
 
I'd be pretty p.o.'d if I had to pay that much.

Uh-oh, I've offended the WaMu-philes. Let the flame-throwing begin! Smiley Very Happy

Now that you mention it, I do all my buying online. I figure the $5.75 monthly fee equates to a lease. I could always dazzle folks by showing everyone the shiny silver "platinum" card. Impressions aside, they don't need to know it's a $300 CL.

I lost my card in Oct (?)  WaMu didn't charge me to replace it and got it in less than 7 days.....weird.

Either they only charge for replacements when it's not a lost or stolen, or they just think you're cute.   Kitty 3
