Will it shred those Amex offers that have the "sample" credit card in them without me having to open the envelope?

Mine bogs down a bit, but does the job. I usually try to line up the card with the card slot indicated on the top.

Mine has jammed up when I tried to. It can take the card separately with no problem, though.

From my experience, yes. I usually just place the entire unopened envelope into shredder an shred it. Never had a problem yet. Keep in mind that you wouldn't want to place a really thick one and try to shred it. But so far I haven't found any junk mail that wouldn't shred. I think you'll be fine.

No,you can only do that with the identical cards. If you try do that,you will mess up the cards.

most of the time yes, make sure the envelope isnt too fat... it is designed to shred 11 pages at a time so stick to the user manual and you'll be fine. Sometime you'll have to open the envelopes... like those from BoysTown and charities with tons of folded paper, i simply unfold and shred the whole thing :D

Yes you can use it without swiping. It will ask for the credit card number, expiration date, CVV (3 digits on back of card), and the billing address.

I've never seen a separate slot and don't remember it mentioned that way. However, I have tried to shred a CD and it was a disaster. Made a huge mess and jammed up the machine and took forever to clean it back up. Never tried a credit card but I would assume it would be as bad as the CD

Yes. I was terrified at the prospect, but then just mustered up and did it. I was surprised, but it actually was very simple. I used the included sand paper to briefly smooth the edges and popped it in with success. However, my son told me that if you take the card to any Best Buy or similar store, they will cut the cards for you. I wanted to prepare my phone upon arrival in the states so I did it myself. No problem.

In our software, when we are about to run someones credit card, in the accept cards window we have a "SWIPE" button we click on before we swipe it, it decodes the card and enters automatically. Whatever software you are using for credit card transactions should have something like it. If there is no decoder it will show a bunch of random letter and numbers.

Yes - we can make the large cards without the slots for the clip - so they are just like a standard credit card. Please just let us know when you send in your photo/information (ie tell us "No slot on large ID cards please") and we'll take care of the rest.

It will only scan very specific cards, so if you have a card like that to put in the wallet then yes. If you want to test credit cards then no.

It depends. If you could find the thinner plastic cards like a hotel room key, then the Pick Punch worked well. However, if you used a credit card that is generally thicker, then the edge of the pick would come out rough. You will have to file it with a nail file. So, it works fine but not great.

I'm 99% sure it's with any Amex card. But you should check just to be 100% sure.

according to this, as long as the magnet is 1 inch away from the magnetic strip, it should be ok. I just opened my wallet and checked, if you place the card in the card slot so the magnetic strip is farther rather than close to the magnet, its about an inch away. I don't think that it will destroy the cards. http://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/demagnetization-ruin-credit-card-magnetic-stripe-1273.php

If you mean cards to write receipes on, you don't need them. You just put the actual receipe that you cut from a magazine, etc. on the page and put the magnetic clear sheet over them

Not as far as I remember. The credit card slot does make a sound with a regular credit card. But there's no bar code scanner.

Card stock is listed as a paper type on the printer menu, but I have not personally tried it.

I don't use it for credit cards.But the magnet is not very big,so it shouldn't effect it.
