Credit cards are useful things, but what should you do with them when they expire?
Don’t just cut them up and throw them away!
We live in a world where recycling is encouraged so why not re-use your credit cards!
Here are 11 odd ways people have re-used their credit card.
To Compose!
Credit cards can easily be turned into guitar picks! If you can, find a card with a good picture on of you and rock out with your face.
To Game!
Don’t do what one woman did after she was told to “put her credit card in when prompted”. Three credit cards in the disc slot later the Wii sadly died.
Quick game of chip and pin hero anyone?
To Steal!
We have all seen it done in films, and anything in a film has to be real right? Just don’t push your card through by accident.
To Wear!
Make Jewellery from them and create The Ultimate in Platinum Bling!
To Fight!
Gambit throws playing cards at his enemies, but you can throw credit cards at yours (shouting “EAT MY GOLD CARD!” is optional)
To Eat!
That edge of the card can be used to cut up food whilst preparing your family meal, but it doesn’t end there… No more spoons left? Just use your credit card to eat that ice cream.
To Scrape!
After you’re done eating, it’s time to wash up… So what are you going to use to scrape that leftover food from the plates? Your credit card that’s right! Your credit card is also useful for clearing snow, ice or birds “leftovers” from your car.
To Note!
Everyone needs to note something down, why not put your credit card to use?
To Rule!
Need to underline that important sentence but the ruler that’s usually on your desk has gone missing? Just get your credit card out and line away with its dead straight edges.
To Fling!
Catapults were the weapon of choice for the Romans for long range attacks and with your trusty all purpose credit card it can be yours too.
To Style!
Cut teeth into your credit card and your hair will have never looked so good.

I’ve tried several of these in the past. I’d like to add another: scrape off burnt-on food.
