WARNING.  Made a contactless payment at a toll booth and placed debit card on top of sliding door just in front of gear lever.  On reaching destination, no sign of debit card.  Inspection showed that gap at top of sliding door is big enough for a debit card to slide forward and consequently disappear into the centre console somewhere!  ☹️

I had the same issue with a pass card for an access barrier...good luck that I had copied the codes onto my phone. Card remains in the centre console!!

Very easily done! I lost a “park and go” card in the same way today. A quick look suggests that retrieving it will take major surgery on the centre console so I think I’ll leave it there and get a new card.  Hopefully I won’t be daft enough to do it again but that’s not guaranteed!

This happened to me too.  Glad to see I am not the only one.  I felt so stupid.  Had to cancel my credit card.

The clever windscreen clip that secures my Ma in Law's Blue Badge Pass almost did a similar trick by allowing it to slide down into the windscreen crevice when I let it slip on retrieving it - just caught the edge in time !
