You have 48 hours to report a missing card before you are liable for any charges, so use the time wisely. If you know the card is stolen, move on to the next step immediately.  Search all clothing, bags, and pockets. Call recent locations, like restaurants and bars. Search your house systematically, circling from the perimeter of rooms to the middle. Check your bank and credit card accounts online to see if any purchases have been made since the card went missing. If there are charges, this likely indicates the card was stolen. Call your bank and let them know the card is gone. Report any fraudulent charges immediately.  Log the date and time of every interaction in case there is a dispute. Call the institutions involved and request a new card. If you have any alternate copies, cut them up and discard them. You may need to provide bank information to verify your card is missing.
