Ordering Replacement Cards!?

[Anonymous]

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.

Hahaha, hey that sounds like a nice plan and i'm sure it wil impress the heck out of them!

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
