Destroying an Apple Card

[Crowbot]

I was thinking today: What would happen if I had to get a new physical Apple Card. What do I do with the old card. With the plastic cards I would just shove it into the shredder. But I don't think that would be a good idea with the AC.

File it in a safe place or sand the front and back to remove your name, chip and mag stripe. There are no account numbers or 3 digit codes visible.
After sanding just recycle the metal.

With other metal cards I've used, the company will send you a sleeve and a postage free envelope to send back to them to be destroyed.

Yes, that's what I figured Apple will do.

Update: Apple will send a sleeve for the card so I can send it for recycling.

I figure I'll just take sandpaper to the mag stripe and a Dremel tool to the chip on the Apple Card I just cancelled, then re-purpose it into a scraper. I think I'll leave my name on so nobody tries to steal my fancy titanium scraper

Entrust it to Frodo to take to Mount Doom, In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie...

Yeah, well. That works too, I guess.

A few ounces of C-4 will do the trick too.

I never use the physical card, just Apple pay. Pay it off every month. Still have a Visa & MC for online purchases, and
automatic payments like Comcast.

Did you know about Skeet Shooting? Now is the time to try a new sport.

I don't think the card will fly well enough for that. Target-shooting, maybe?

According to the MythBusters, C-4 can do wonders.
