RFID credit/debit cards

[willshak]

Nah, just punch out the guy that decided to put the RFID chips in the cards.

RFID anything is good to avoid... and difficult to do these days. They're everywhere, even molded into tires, shoe soles and anywhere else imaginable.

A while back, VISA gave me an RFID card, I called and asked them to re-issue it with an RFID free replacement, and they did so. Don't know if they'll still so, or about other companies, but it's sure worth asking.

Here's some more on RFID... there is a lot more just on Wikipedia alone, but I don't have time at the moment to search it out.

PS, I once thought I was mistaken, but it turns out I was wrong. :)

As I wrote, the European systems has security built in. Credit card fraud is much lower in Europe.

When the European style credit cards are in use here you may have trouble finding someone who will take a mag-stripe one.

A couple references with a minimal google search:

There is no information on that hologram. Adding unique holograms would be rather expensive.

Because it works (inertia).

Oh really????

Take one audio cassette. Play it back on a decent deck. Remove the magn etic tape from the shell. Place it in your pants pocket and go about you r day. At night, reload the tape into the shell and play that cassette ove r the deck and see if it sounds as good as it did in the morning.

Now you know what happens to magnetic strips on the backs of cards in MY wa llet. ;)

I contacted my credit card company and asked for a card without the chip. They cheerfully complied.

[Pat]

Nonsense. Cards have used high coersivity material for years - nothing like the the tape in your cassettes. Much more difficult to erase with stray magnetism.

How do you think you'd function if someone scraped your face with low-grit sandpaper for hours?

Now do you get it?

A wallet is a very hostile place for magnetic strips.

Buy a less abrasive wallet. My cards all last through expiration, I carry them in a card carrier / money clip made by Coach. See:

Clueless.

It must be your personality. Obviously this is a rare occurrence.

[krw]

Right. I just slide them in my wallet, haphazardly. They're stuffed in three or four to a "compartment". I have had maybe two fail in forty years. None in the last decade.

[Lab Lover]

Cruel...... :-)

[krw]

Truth. (though not a null intersection)

"Right. I just slide them in my wallet, haphazardly. They're stuffed in three or four to a "compartment". "

Same here.

"I have had maybe two fail in forty years. None in the last decade. "

You're lucky. Often I must swipe a second or third time per the cashier because of inability to read my cards.

The point is, it's 20friggn14! Mag-strips on credit/debit were invented during Vietnam. Time for them to go.

[Mr.E]

Try swiping the card from bottom to top. This usually works for mine. Also may put in plastic bag segment and swipe. This weakens an overly strong and noisy card
