it is not only wrong, it is criminal, you could be prosecuted for it, you are better off sending the card to the company that owns the card. Why would you think you could shop on someone elses card legally, you need to do the right thing.

Hopefully, the owner has cancelled the card by now.

Why WOULD you want to put yourself at risk like that? Knowing this is someone else's card. I agree....the 'owner' probably cancelled the card by now.

How do I send the card back to the company? Will I not be penalized for not informing them for 3 days?

Well I do not think you will be penalized. Just go ahead and do it.

If you DID try and use the card, the 'owner' could have 'traced' it, as well as cancelled it ( I know i said that in an earlier post). I would just send it back.

I too think that you should return the card to the company that owes it. If you fear of getting penalised because of returning the card late, tell them that you got the card only a day before. But you should not take risk of using the card to purchase anything as if you get caught you will be penalised severely.

YOu need to return the card, it is the right thing to do, how would you like it if someone did this to you. Hopefulyy the person realized that they have lost the card and they will call it in and report it lost.

I would never even think about using a card that was not mine, it is just wrong.

I think you should send the card immediately to the credit card office. If you fear for sending the card late, then just mail the card to the credit card office. Don't try to make any transaction now as the loss of the card might have been reported by now by the owner.

do the right thing, don't use the card, either destroy it or turn it in. They must not have cleaned the room very well if you found it after people left. what was the name of the hotel chain?

I agree with goodnatured. If you have not yet destroyed the card do it immediately else return it to the credit card company.
