New PIN unreadable

Okay, I can make out the final 3 numbers, 2 for certain and one is a guess but the other is a complete mystery. I’ve tried putting the clear overlay thing on to white paper, a coloured back ground, tried reading it under a bright light and then a much duller light.
I totally get why they make it hard for them to be read (actually I don’t seeing as they come separate from the bank card although I get that a canny postie or someone could steal your post for a few days but seriously 🙄) - but I can’t bloody read it myself!!
Does anyone have any tips I haven’t tried to help me read this number?

  • it is definitely my card and new pin Grin

I mean, I’ll be changing it as soon as I get to the bank so is it a terrible idea?!

If you bank with Halifax it shows your pin on the app

Try shining a torch from underneath it.

If its barclaycard you can check the number on the app.

Oh yes post it. We haven't got the card so we can't do a thing with it!

Okay I’ve cracked it now, a combination of light and tilting it on a white background.
Jeez that was hard work Grin
To be fair, one of the digits is a choice of 2 but I think I’ll have a couple of chances to get it right so shouldn’t cause me any problems.
