Credit Cards Went Through Washer

[Shel_B]

My credit cards and driver's licence went through a few cycles in the washing machine. Will they still be useable? I can't break away to try them today, and if they may not be useable any more, I'll order some new ones today. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Lord knows mine have been washed repeatedly. My whole wallet is very clean. Hasn't caused a problem yet, except with the postage stamps I keep tucked in a hidden compartment.

I've done this to plastic cards several times with no ill effects. The metal AMEX, on the other hand, separated from the plastic backing... that one had to be replaced.

Dryer might kill them but the washer only, they should be fine.

I have laundered my credit cards several times and they still work good. Ed

Thanks, everyone ... my comfort level has just been raised a notch or two.

That's one way to clean up your credit.

Give me the card numbers and I will see if I can buy something big.

Great! That'll save me a trip to the bank. Try this one first, OK?

The code on the back is 658

Don't overspend, though, as there's only a $5,000 limit on the card.

Let me know what you find out. Thanks!

Yup, it happens to my wife about once a month, nothing is going to happen and if it broke you can always ask for a replacement card from the bank
