Credit Card Security

Amber and I switched to Chase when we combined bank accounts. It’s seriously been a wonderful experience. Today I had some fraudulent charges appear on my account and Chase sent me some emails asking me to let them know if they were valid or not. Of course, I’m always on the lookout for a phishing scam so I just called the number on the back of my credit card to clear it up.

Turns out, the warnings were legitimate and the card services rep was nice, professional, and got the situation handled quickly. Though they really do need new hold music.

My only problem now? This credit card  is so damn fancy I’m having a hard time destroying it.

This is the best I could do. Nearly broke my scissors so I had to bend it. Still thinking through more options.

    Bend back-n-forth million times…scissors, knife, meat tenderizer, sledge hammer, shredder… it would probably break your shredder machine, perhaps the garbage disposal?

    Gotta love Chase Sapphire and its metal(ish) design!

      I eventually brought it into a branch and they handled it for me. 🙂
