Sapphire versus Shredder

So my wife and I got approved for the Chase Sapphire card on the same day. After about 4 days I got mine in the mail but two weeks later she had still not gotten hers. She called up and after finding out it had been sent out 7 days ago had it canceled and a new one overnighted. Chase had said if the old cards showed up just destroy them. Easier said than done. So the next day after canceling the old cards arrived in the regular mail and the new ones via overnight. My wife told me well you made me call, you destroy them. So I got out my hand paper shredder I regularly use on credit cards and placed the Sapphire card in. the card went through and came out in the hopper in one piece but all the cutters curled over and then seized.
Don’t let this happen to you! My chase sapphire card churn cost me an extra $50 for a new shredder.
