I’ve actually gone through this before… I know it sounds cruel, but the best thing to do is cut the card up and throw it away. I actually went so far as to call the credit card company and offer to either hold the card or drop it off at the bank… A bank that issued the card… And the customer service person basically said “thanks but no thanks“.

So I applaud your attitude, but this is just one of those things unfortunately.

I'm a little surprised they wouldn't shred it for you.

My guess, and it is only a guess, would be that as soon as you give them the card number it’s immediately canceled.
