Just kind of a silly article today since my wife’s not feeling well and I’m taking care of her.
- Banana Chopper- Those mushy ‘nanas don’t stand a chance against the purchasing power of your Visa!
- Skeleton Key- Although I’ve never mastered this trick, my brother is quite skilled at jimmying all manner of locks with only an old credit card.
- Modern art- Cut all your cards up into little pieces and make a mosaic masterpiece (note: Cards may not work afterwards)
- Arrowheads- If you’re lost in the wilderness with only your wits and your credit card, you can break the plastic into sharp points that will help you acquire dinner.
- What other uses can you think of?

27|Sep|2007 2Actually, I have a good use for expired credit cards. Whenever I travel overseas (like my yearly trip to Ukraine) I always put a bunch of expired credit cards in my wallet about about $20 (Or the equivalent in local currency) so if someone steals my wallet they’ll think they’ve gotten all I have.
I always keep a throwaway wallet for traveling and all of my old canceled/expired cards (which is all of them) are kept in that wallet.
