We send credit cards left in our newsagency and not reclaimed for a day or so back to the issuing bank with a covering letter. Not once has any of the banks written to us thanking us and while we are not looking for kudos, it would be nice to have the return of the card acknowledged. Given the risk of credit card fraud of lost cards I would have thought our attention to closing the loop was appreciated.
Just be thankful they don’t charge you a lost card reporting fee.
