Methods of disposal - metal cards ?

[NoMoreE46]

C1 provides a prepaid, self-addressed envelope to mail back your old metal cards.

They are obviously more challenging to cut so I think it's a nice touch from C1. 

I recall that GS didn't provide such a envelope for my Apple Card.  So just wondering what other issuers do?

My Amex Gold and my WF BILT are still new but this is one aspect of metal cards I didn't consider. Those are my only metal cards thus far.

I recently lost my wallet with my savor metal card and metal-ish Propel in it. An angel returned it less than 24 hours later. I had all my cards plus everything in still(miracle) and to be on the same safe side I had to replace those cards. DH has some kind of sharp metal cutting shears that I use to cut up my cards. I use the same ones to cut up my Apple Card last year. If you go on the Apple website they will send you a prepaid box to send to them to dispose your card. I do have the capital one envelope as well but I prefer to dispose of my cards on my own for my own security reasons.

A variety of the FIs that have issued metal cards have either provided me with a secure pre-paid return envelope including GS for the fruit card (typically enclosed when a replacement is issued). Some FIs like Chase have the option to shred on-site (depending on the branch) or forward the physical card to a secure location for destruction. I personally have a shredder that can handle the job so I rarely have to send anything back 😁

Most love metal cards so much, they just frame them and never shred.

Tin Snips will handle the cutting if one is so inclined?

Your wall is full!

Just get a Cutting Pliers from your toolbox and cut it up with ease! 🤷

Not really. Even cutting pliers may work with a bit of effort on some of the thinner metal core cards. The hefty ones, not so much.
