How many times has this happened to you? You’re getting ready to leave, or about to pay and suddenly you realize you’ve misplaced your credit card.
In a panic you retrace your steps trying to remember the last time you had it out and where you might have put it.
You look everywhere you can think of, but still no luck. You turn the house upside down, turn the contents of your handbag out onto the table, and search your car, but still no luck.
“Maybe it’s stolen? Maybe I dropped it?,” are thoughts that run through your head.
While continuing to look for it you’re monitoring your card online or via text, but you need it…and now.
Eventually it will turn up (or not) but the panic, the possibility that it may be lost or implytolen is too overwhelming.
I don’t know about you but I would need more hands to count the number of times I misplaced my credit card this year. Sometimes I forget to put it back after checking out, or I carried it in a different bag, perhaps stopped to get gas or something similar and dropped it in my pocket, my handbag’s pocket or somewhere else. Every time it induces panic.
That panicky feeling? It’s all too familiar, but there’s no need to feel that way any longer. It’s no problem thanks to Freeze It from Discover Card. This great new feature for cardmembers called Freeze It acts like an on/off switch for your credit card. Lost card? Just turn it off while you hunt for it.
