Do You Have Your Credit Card Number Memorized?

July 30, 2008

Credit cards come with different limits and can be customized in various designs, but every card's number has 16 digits total. Do you know them by heart?

Of course! I've got my Amex card #, security code & expiration date memorized thanks to online shopping!

Did once upon a time with my first credit card, but don't now. Just know SSN, 5 bank account numbers (individual and joint accounts, and husband's joint account), school ID #, library card #...

i know my debit card number by heart - that's kind of sad isn't it ? i used to know a few others but i had the cards 'cancelled' and resent becuase to me that's not safe - if i can just plug in numbers when ever to shop without having the card on me.

I have 2 of mine memorized. I hate having to look it up every time I want to buy something online!

I can recite my (one and only) CC number off the top of my head, as long as I haven't just been asked to remember another number, like my social security number...

I shop and pay most of my bills online, so I've had my debit card number memorized for years. I hate when I have to get a new one because it takes a while to remember the new expiration date and security code on the back. I also memorized my bank account number from when I used to check the balance over the automated phone system. I love that it makes impulse online purchases so easy when I'm bored at work! :D

I have my Amex memorized and some of my accounts. It comes in handy (for online shopping and over the phone stuff). I am very proud that I know them by heart :)

I only have the last four digits of it memorized. You would think I would have the whole thing memorized with how much I order online, but i don't.

Just the work card. My personal one only gets used for one online bill a month, the rest are all automatic, so I guess I don't have a reason to have it memorized.

I find it funny that when you say "credit card" i immediately think of my debit card since that is the only "plastic" I carry. I know a lot of you consider it to be cash. Either way, I don't have the actual number memorized; i do have that 3 digit code on the back memorized though :)

i know my credit card number, but not my debit. i do know my checking account number, though.

wow, i'm surprised. 42% is really high! i have my primary credit card number memorized, but i don't know anyone else who has.

Yep -- I know both my AmEx and my VISA numbers by heart. Maybe it's a sign that I do too much online shopping? Haha.

I have my works CC # memorized because I buy advertising with it all day! It's similar to my social and on a couple of occasions I've switched them up.
