PLEASE say a prayer that I locate my debit card. I am PRAYING that I gave it to one of my kids and don't remember. I had it to get gas onthe way home from a show on Saturday and cannot account for it after that.. it was a HECTIC weekend... TIA for your prayers.... At least GOD knows where it is! :)
 
Have you checked your car, maybe you laid it down on the console, could be it slipped between the seat and console. Hope it comes up soon.
 
I would report it lost or stolen, so you get a new card with a new number.You can't be too careful these days.

Diane, I'm so glad you figured it out! I've "misplaced" mine before as well and it was three stressful days before I figured out where it was!
 
Glad things worked out!

In addition to reporting the loss, monitor your bank statements and account activity closely for any unauthorized transactions. Consider changing your online banking passwords and enabling alerts for transactions to stay informed about any activity on your account.
