My wallet got stolen last week in germany with all my cards/permit/driving licence/abonnement in it. Now am trying to replace one after the other and its not cheap.
I called postfinance and reported the theft, they said they will charge me 30chf to block the card and an additional 20chf for a new one. I am thinking of not blocking the old card and just go ahead and ask for a new one because a new one with new pin will make the old one invalid i guess?? The thieve had attempted to use my other card at atm to draw money but did not succeed after entering wrong pin 3x and the bank(not postfinance) blocked the card automatically. My post finance card has not been tempered with probably because it does not work in most ATMs abroad anyway.
So am asking myself why pay additional 30chf to get the stolen card blocked when its not working at most ATMs except PF. Should i give postfinance 30chf to block the stolen card? or just ask for a new card and new pin? I am guessing new card and new pin will make the old card invalid or will they let the two be valid?
Will appreciate any advice
