Card number memorization - do you do it?

Contributor: surreptitious surreptitious
I just instinctively memorize the numbers on things like my Mastercard, health card, drivers license, student card, library card, okay-I'm-a-nerd-and-wi ll-stop-listing card. I'm curious as to whether anyone else suffers from this, or whether anyone memorizes card numbers on purpose. I mean, it really helps me out whenever I need the numbers even though I don't do it on purpose.

I don't do this but my S.O. does! He knew all the bank account numbers, card numbers...it seemed like everything!

I used to know my debit card information for my old bank account off the top of my head, but I haven't done it for my current one. It's cut down on a lot of my internet spending and calling out for pizza because I need to really think about whether I should get up and get the card out of my purse.

I does bug me, however, that I haven't memorized my son's social security number yet. I know my own and my husband's.

I can barely remember my own phone number! D; I'm so bad with that sort of thing. The only card I have memorized is my SS card haha

Only drivers license and SS cards. My mind won't hold anymore numbers

I do that, too. Any number I use more than a few times, I end up memorizing without trying. I thought I would stop doing it with phone numbers when I got a cellphone with a big display, but I still do it.

I don't. The only thing I can remember is my security code on the back of my card.

The cards are close enough in my wallet, so there is no reason for me to remember the numbers. Too many digits anyways.

I know my social security number, driver's license, and my favorite credit card number. I also try to memorize certain phone numbers just in case, because you never know when you might lose your phone and you need to know numbers.

Nope, I'm terrible with remembering numbers. I know my SS card number and my phone number, and even with those I get the numbers mixed around sometimes.

I am re-memorizing them--it is easy for me but sucks to start all over....

Only did this with a credit card I used online frequently enough I learned it from entering it! lol! Back in the days of online sales to entice new customers when stores would do promos like $20 off your first order of $20 and 99 cent shipping. lol

Yes, I end up memorizing many numbers, but I try not to be obsessive about it, which I could easily be

I have one of my debit card number memorized, but that wasn't intentional. I just ordered a lot of food over the phone at my last job and I guess since then it just stuck in my memory haha. I probably won't remember the number for the new debit card I just got though.

I often times do it on accident. I know my SS number by heart, my debit card number, and a bunch of people's phone numbers and license plate numbers. That last one, because every time i see one of my friends cars, I read the license plate. I'm not a stalker I promise xD

I don't do it on purpose, but I do remember certain numbers after enough uses.

I've memorized my DL#, my social, and my credit card. I use them too much, not to have them memorized. I hate having a bunch of useless phone numbers in my head.

I have my social security number, drivers license, and library card number memorized. I had my debit card memorized but then I had to get a whole new card because some low life in town stole around 800+ card numbers from the grocery stores system.

I've memorized my social security number, bank account, debit card, and employee ID number. I can't seem to remember my student ID (which is really annoying because it's not on my ID card, so I have to look it up online every time I need it).

Ours had the annoying quality of being the number on your student ID plus two digits at the end. For some reason, I could never remember the two digits, haha.
