Bank cards? if you go to the bank and turn it in they will return it to the person. Gym membership card? pharmacy? phone? all places with membership cards can contact them for you and if their phone is on use siri and say call mom or dad to try it out

I recently found someone’s wallet and called Chase, bc they had chase cards. Chase was able to freeze all accounts but could not/refused to contact the owner. I had to find the owner myself. It was mildly infuriating.

The “concierge service” is basically Amex’s biggest differentiator at this point, they lean on it a lot

Return wallets to the post office. They have an entire office dedicated to getting lost IDs back to the owner.

This happened to me too, with some other bank. The rep just kept saying "no one wants to meet up with people right now in person". This was a few months ago. So fucking stupid,

Same thing with me. I found a wallet full of money in the Chase bank lobby. Obviously had been dropped by someone at the ATM. Saw the Chase bank card and and out of state driver's license so brought it in to the banker so they could contact the owner. She acted like I was handing her a basket of snakes.

I hope they actually made the good faith effort to reach the poor woman.

I thought Siri only listens for the owner’s voice.

I tracked someone down with their doctors card. The doctor called them for me and told them if they want their wallet to call me. Worked well.

I lost my wallet on the UWS and the person then called Amex, who contacted me. Met him and got it. I didn’t even know I had dropped my wallet!
