Will a credit card work even if it went through a wash cycle in the washing machine?

My credit card went through a cycle in the washing machine. Has anyone done that, and how did it turn out?

Unless the card was damaged or the magnetic strip on the back of the card is gone,it should still work. If not,contact your credit card company for a replacement.

You destroyed the magnetic strip.

I think it would still work. Why don’t you try it and find out?

It might still work. Just go someplace and test it.

What counts is whether the magnetized strip will still work. Bending can wreck that, but I don’t think water can. Best way to tell is to take it to a store or ATM and try using it.
