Hello, without paying attention I put a pair of pants in the wash and I had three cards inside: two cafeteria cards and a student card. One is magnetic, one has a chip (like bank cards or the chip is on top), and the other also has a chip, but the chip is inside. Can you tell me if it still works? For those who have already had the misfortune of leaving their card in their pockets :/ Have a good evening

Good evening
This has happened to me before and everything is fine!
The only way to know is to try them, but I think you already suspect that!
Tip for credit cards and other bank cards: Try the card in a parking lot, at a toll booth, or to refuel at automatic pumps because they won't swallow the card in case of a problem!

My card went through the machine this week, I was also worried it was ruined but in fact not at all, I wiped it well and let it dry, headed to the ATM and miracle it WORKS!!!
Well, I don't know if the washing temperature had anything to do with it (30°).
But rest assured, it's solid, I won't make the same mistake again!!!
It's the first time in over 30 years that this happens to me (Beginning of Alzheimer's?) HIHIHIHIHI
try the card to take fuel at automatic pumps which (based on those I have seen anyway) have a "support" that does not swallow the card.
So, you can test your debit card without risking it getting swallowed.
