Default Credit Card

How long does your one last before it starts breaking up?
I use mine a lot,like a monthly charge card and pay it at the end of the month rather than carry cash and I am having to apply for a new one every six months-------is this the norm?

My debit card shows signs of wear from 6-8 months. It's in a proper card holding section in my wallet but it still seems to get royaly ****ed.

I keep it in my wallet between two other lesser cards which are both about 18 months old now and like new.
Perhaps its the way cashiers ram them into the machines?

Its no big thing,just inconvenient,and wondered if others had the same thing

As cards mainly slot part way into a reader these days mine have started to last a lot longer. They used to last 8 to 12 months if I was lucky as I use mine in the same way.

Oddly enough I now have a fuel card (no more card cloning by petrol stations - yay) and my two year old credit card still looks fine. The sub-minimum-wage illegal immigrant pump-monkeys* really do not care how they treat your cards do they?


*yes it's a generalisation, but that's the norm around here.

Some of it is the wallet... my debit card is looking a bit shabby and has the makings of a crack, but it pads compared to other cards in there. My EHIC broke up not too long ago, amd my AA membership cards very rarely last the year.
