The size of my wallet tends to grow fat every once and a while, I usually don’t carry a lot of cash so I blame all the receipts I tend to keep. Since I try to avoid carrying cash I pay almost everything with my credit card. Out of curiosity I wanted to see if I could get my credit card number by combining all the different receipts.<\/p>\n

The card has sixteen numbers in four groups, not counting the secret three on the back of the card, and an expiration date.<\/p>\n

Practically every receipt had the expiration date printed on them, from the rest there was a big variation. Given that my card number would be:<\/p>\n

1234 5678 9012 3456<\/p>\n

Some would mask all but one group:<\/p>\n

**** **** **** 3456<\/p>\n

Others would just mask one group:<\/p>\n

1234 5678 **** 3456<\/p>\n

After going through them all it seemed like group three was always masked, I have a feeling that this would be different if I had more receipts then again I can’t be sure. I’ll be checking this in the future. I’ve read about a law in the US (Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act) that would require that only the last 5 numbers are shown. In Sweden I don’t know if we have such a law.<\/p>\n

The last receipt I found in my wallet was the one from the taxi home on Friday when I had had a night out. This taxi company actually printed out my full credit card number on the receipt along with the expiration date.<\/p>\n

I can’t imagine how the company can be that<\/strong> stupid, I’ve sent them an email and now I’m eagerly awaiting their response.<\/p>\n

I don’t know how many dumpster divers<\/a> we have in my area, but it would be nice to not have to shred everything you through away, I mean it is a bit hot to use the fireplace during the summer. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
