Can Someone Get your Credit Card Number from a Receipt?
Can Someone Use my Credit Card with Just the Number and CVV?
How do Criminals Make Fake Credit Cards?
I can’t find my card and I’m trying to use it online but everywhere I look even statements only show the last 4 numbers. Is it impossible to find my full credit card number?
Weird situation. I’ve had Spotify since end of high school / college time, and my premium + Hulu subscription has auto renewed consistently and it kinda slipped in the back of my mind and eventually I was like “what card/account/etc is this getting charged to?” because as a younger person whose taken advantage of bank’s new account bonus offers and moved a lot, I’ve swapped bank accounts I’ve used, added credit cards, etc.
As of now, I don’t really know much about the card that’s successfully processing my Spotify monthly charges besides it’s a Visa, the last 4 digits of the card, and the expiration date (it’s been expired for a hot minute too which makes this weirder). Spotify support couldn’t help because they said they don’t store the additional payment info for security reasons - they suggested I contact my payment provider/bank. I just don’t know who I would or could contact at this point. For all I know, it may not even by one of my old cards - it could have been my dad’s or something if I originally started this subscription when I was in high school or something, I just don’t know.
Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions are appreciated (:
The first six digits of the card are known as the BIN (or IIN). They can be used to identify who issued the card, and sometimes what type of card it is. This lookup service would help, but it requires all six. Just the first four won't work unless you want to try all 100 possibilities. Even with that, you only might be able to tell what bank issued the card, which is something you should probably be able to remember in the first place.
If the merchant issued a refund to what is effectively the wrong card, because they didn't bother asking you for your current card (the one they had on file was likely expired anyway, if it's that old), then it's up to them to get that money back and reissue your refund. If, however, it's an account you still have open in your name (even if you don't have the physical card) the merchant is in the clear and you have to do your homework with old statements or credit reports to track down that account.
Check your email or your snail mail for a statement or message telling you the last four digits of your old cards. These messages would have been telling you a new statement was available, or that a new card was being issued.
You were either transferring money to pay the bill or paying by check. That means the check or electronic transfer would have left a trace in your bank account. Check your bank website or account statements for payments to credit cards. There might be enough information to be able to identify the correct card.
If you didn't get a paper monthly statement you would have been logging into a website, and the login still might work.
