If you have a card with a magnetic strip, use a strong magnet to demagnetize the strip on the back of the card. Chips are a bit tougher to neutralize. You can cut chips with a pair of scissors, or even break them apart with a hammer.
Next, cut the card into at least three pieces. If you're having trouble cutting through the plastic, try bending it back and forth a few times to weaken it, then cut along the bend.

As a rule of thumb, exercise awareness anytime you’re using a public pay station or when your card leaves your sight. Whenever possible, choose the pump closest to the building. They’re closest to employees and the least likely to have been tampered with. Avoid using a debit card, if possible. Should you be forced to use debit, run it as a credit card so you don’t have to enter your PIN.
