10 unusual ways to use your bank card

[CUK77]

Even if mobile wallets eventually replace cards, the latter will still have a use.

The first and only credit card monument is located in Yekaterinburg, RF.
Everyone is accustomed to the fact that a bank card is a universal instrument for accessing an account. With its help, you can withdraw cash from an ATM, pay at a store, buy something on the Internet or transfer money to a friend. However, in fact, there are many other ways to use plastic cards. Some of them are very practical, others just make you smile.

Today, on International April Fool's Day, we offer you a selection of 10 such original ways.

1. The scraper is automobile​

It turns out that a plastic card can become an indispensable assistant on a frosty winter morning, when there is nothing to clean the car with. It is better to remove snow on the hood or on the roof with other tools, but the card will cope perfectly with ice on the glass. It is even thinner and lighter than a conventional automotive scraper, so it can be used to clean both glass and other surfaces.

2. Utility knife​

Who of us, being a student and getting out to gatherings in a park or forest, did not look for improvised tools for cutting food? After all, it often turned out that there was plenty of bread, cheese, sausage and other food, but there was no knife. But you always have a bank card with you. It allows you to cut food in the right proportion. If you need a "sharper" blade, the card can always be sharpened on a stone.

A bank card should always be at hand. For example, if you suddenly need to cut food.

3. Keyboard cleaning tool​

In the keyboard, those who constantly work at the computer can often scrape together for a decent breakfast. We do not know how so much debris and various gizmos accumulates in the keyboard, but we know that you can clear it with the help of the same plastic card. Cleaning by simply inverting and shaking is not always effective. And the thickness of the card allows you to both remove debris and wipe the dust (if you wrap the card with a napkin).

4. Fan​

You can save yourself from the heat by all available means, including using a bank card. Better yet, a few cards. If you make a small fan from them, it will save you on a hot day in the office.

5. Spatula​

It's amazing how, thanks to the size and material, a bank card makes an excellent spatula. Its length is 86 mm, width - 54 mm, thickness - 0.76 mm. Accordingly, you can get two spatulas, a large one and a smaller one. The properties of plastic, namely its flexibility, allows you to work without unevenness on any surfaces. And finally, the smooth curves of the corners of the map seem to be created for the final treatment of seams in the bathroom or in the kitchen.

6. Shoe "spoon"​

There is a "spoon" for shoes in every home, but finding it at the right time can be difficult. In this situation, a bank card will also come in handy. Although it is not very long, it is solid and portable, which means it is always at hand.

It is much easier to put on shoes with a "spoon". Even if in the role of "spoon" - a payment card.

7. Alternative to tiles and wallpaper​

If you have been an active user of banking services for a long time, then you probably have accumulated a certain amount of old plastic cards. We add to them inactive club, accumulative, discount cards. A particularly loyal user can start collecting "plastic". Another option for using these old cards is original wallpapers, tiles, or just an interesting ornament. All you need is old bank cards, glue and a little imagination.

If you are tired of ordinary wallpaper and tiles, you can decorate the apartment with old bank cards.

8. House of Cards​

For those who build houses from a deck of playing cards, we advise you to take a closer look at bank cards. On the one hand, they are heavier, but thicker and stronger. Therefore, the construction of the created figures will be distinguished by their strength and original design. In offices, you can even arrange competitions to build houses from bank cards.

Plastic cards can be used instead of playing cards to build houses.

9. Wire sorter​

The problem of wire entanglement at home or office computers is familiar to everyone. If you take a plastic card, cut several holes in it and insert wires into them, they will get tangled much less often. You can use several cards - so the effectiveness of this method will only grow.

The card can be used to solve a wire entanglement problem.

10. Various useful crafts​

You can also make various useful things from the card, such as a bookmark for a book, a holder for headphones and wires (wrapped the headphones on the card - avoided the damned entanglement), a phone stand (see the video tip below), etc.

You can make a headphone holder out of the card.
All these original ways of using bank cards are also suitable for club, discount, savings cards. "Plastic" can be extremely useful in everyday life.

Have a great mood!
