Just a warning for those that have pets. I too froze my credit card in ice so that I couldn't get to it. It really helped control my spending. However; my cat broke his leg being an idiot and I had to rush him to the vet. We had to go to three places before someone would see him because without the card we had no way to afford the bill and get his leg set. Never froze my card again because in an emergency you're screwed. I just gave it to my brother and told him he not to give it to me unless it was an emergency.
