Lost or stolen M&S Credit Card? Here’s what to do:

If you’ve misplaced your M&S Credit Card or suspect it’s been stolen, don’t worry - just act quickly. You can freeze your card straight away in the app, which gives you a bit of breathing space to look for it and ensures no one else can use it. If you still can’t find your card, simply use the ‘report a card issue’ feature to order a replacement.

Freeze Card

  1. Once logged into the M&S Banking app, tap on 'Cards' at the top of the screen.
  2. Select the card you want to freeze.
  3. Tap 'Freeze card' - this will stay in place until you unfreeze it.
  4. To unfreeze your card, follow the same steps but tap 'Unfreeze card’.

Report a card lost, stolen or damaged

  1. Once logged into the M&S Banking app, tap on 'Cards' at the top of the screen.

2. Select the card you want to report an issue with.

3. Tap 'More' and select 'Report a card issue' from the list.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to provide additional information.

5. Review the details and confirm we have your correct address.

6. Tap 'Confirm' and a new card will be issued.

Alternatively, if you’re registered for Internet Banking, you can report a card issue anytime by using the ‘Chat with us’ service.

How to cancel a lost or stolen card

You can cancel a lost or stolen card, and order a new one, by calling us or by using the Chat option on Internet Banking and the M&S Banking App.

Can I still spend while I’m waiting for my new card to arrive?

Yes, you can use the M&S Banking App to continue to spend before you receive your new card in the post – you’ll still be able to collect M&S rewards points too. All you need to do is add your M&S Credit Card to your digital wallet via our app. You can then make contactless payments in person, and make payments in apps and online without the need for your physical card or PIN.

Will cancelling my card affect my Direct Debits?

Any payments set up from your credit card will be affected once the card is cancelled.

Can I still access my Internet Banking or Mobile Banking app if my card is cancelled?

Yes, you can still access all of your digital banking without any interruption. Your sign-in details for these services are not linked to your credit card.

What should I do if I find my card after reporting it lost or stolen?

Once your card is cancelled, it can’t be reactivated and your new card will already be on the way. You should destroy the card and dispose of it securely.

You can however use the M&S Banking App to continue to spend before you receive your new card in the post.
