How do you scratch those cards?

hi! Well I think we have the same weird(to some) habit.^_^ I scratch the silver thing off too. I scratch all of them and I dont stop until I get every little bit of speck on it.LOL I brush it off too and wipe it clean. But if Im really in a hurry I scrath in the middle first so the numbers, letters, codes can be seen and I use it immediately but afterwards when Im not in a hurry anymore I scratch all of the silver sticker/powder that was left when I used the card.^_^ I do have cousins and friends who just scratch enough to get to the numbers inside. Another weird habit of mine is that I keep their used cards. No reason at all I just do. I dont throw used cards right away too. I dont know why I just do too. I only throw them when they are already too many or too old. Otherwise they would just be seen lying around my work space.LOL I sometimes keep the cards that are not scratched clean just to save for later. Now I think thats even weirder.LOL But then again, thats just me.^_^

when i was still using prepaid cards, i scratch them the same way you do. i scratch everything. my reason is, i collect the prepaid cards that i used. if i don't scratch all of it, it will leave a mark on the other prepaid cards on my drawer.

i don't scratch them. i rip 'em off. just kidding. i scratch them with a coin and as long as the numbers and the code are all revealed, i'd stop scratching. i seldom totally scratch off all those silver whatchamacallit thingy.^__^;;

Hmmm.....good question. I haven't scratched anything of this sort for ages since I don't used prepaid but post paid. But I'm also like you, I scratch everything off & blow of / clear off the tiny bits as it seems more tidy that way. If possible, I'd use a coin & not my nails to scratch it off unless there's nothing available

Before, I also have the habit of scratching it all off, to the last bit. But later these days, when I scratch prepaid phone cards, I only scratch it to the point that I can see all the numbers. I am not fond of scratch it all off now. Maybe it is because I have other things to attend to like texting my girlfriend, which is the reason why I bought the prepaid card in the first place. And before, I used coins to scratch those cards, so as not to damage it. But now, I even use my finger nails. Maybe because now I know that those numbers cannot be easily erase when you scratch it with anything you have. Now I know how strong it is so I know what things I can use to scratch it.

Well for some internet prepaid cards I actually don't scratch them. I actually sometimes take off the whole tape where the scratch thing is. I could do it before but now I don't think there are still cards that are like that. Usually I would scratch the whole thing off because sometimes the numbers are not clear enough when there are a lot of those scratched bits left. I also blow it off because I want it to look clean.

I too have a prepaid (Cell) card. I am also using the Prepaid cell phone. When ever i need to re-charge my mobile, i use to buy the recharge coupon, scratch it, i can able to see the 16 degit or 20 degit numbers printed on it, as per the instruction from the reverse side of the said prepaid scratch recharge card, -- (a) I can call the toll free numbers and type them the scratched numbers and press some of the keys as per the automated informations through the customer care. (that toll free numbers voice recorded informations) -- (b) as per the infromation from that, i will type the entire 16 or 20 degit and also type some of the secret number prefix and suffix keys as per the instruction given in the same prepaid recharge coupon. When I any of the above my Prepaid card account will get credited to the amount of recharge as per the recharge coupon. In case if you feel that you are facing some problem with this manual recharge vouchers, you can ask the retainer to make the "Easy Re-charge" to your number, if you give the amount to the retainer, that how much you need to recharge, he will do the same through his cell phone, it will automatically credited to your cell phone account, and you will get the SMS shows that your account will get credited to the amount which you have given, and the also you total available talk time and the validity period will be appeared. Regarding the Games and etc.. on recharges, this may be the promotional offers has been provided by the mobile operators, use to offer in seasonal basis. In case if any, the same also get it updated along with your Credit of the prepaid card. (Its like the full talk time offer)
