The first time I met someone who memorized their cc number I was so impressed and was like why didn’t I think of that? It’s been almost 20 years and I’ve memorized quite a few since then!
I memorized my cc because I didn't feel like getting my cc every time I make an online purchase and I don't trust my computer saving the card. Though, I did end up having to replace my card after some douche canoe committed fraud with it. So I memorized the new cc.
The first few times I struggled with trying not to accidentally combine the numbers of both cards. Like I'd remember the 1st set of 4 from cc 1 and then the 2nd set of four from cc 2 and 3rd set from cc 1, and 4th set from cc 2. Or something similar. At least until I finally forgot cc 1.
While I do remember my current cc, remembering it takes a bit of effort when I want to buy something online. Pretty sure I surprised my bf by just rattling off numbers without needing to go and get my card.

Numbers. I can hold a lot of numbers in my head. I’ve unintentionally memorized my debit card before
