In Real Life, a credit card that has reached its credit limit will be declined if used for additional transactions. In fiction, however, merchants will cut up the card and give the pieces back to the customer. This is almost always the start of a Credit Card Plot. Although a card issuer can request this via a message through the card terminal, the merchant must retain the pieces of destroyed card and return them to the bank— not the customer.note Merchants may do this (when directed) as payment cards remain property of the bank, and the merchant is acting on their behalf. However, as cutting up or retaining a customer's card can incite a confrontation, merchants are instructed to only do this if there is no threat to their safety. It generally happens when the card is reported stolen, not due to a mere lack of credit. Banks also advise cardholders to destroy their old cards when they expire to deter identity theft.
