Off topic RFID credit cards
Credit card security issue - Just got a notice that one of my credit cards is going no swipe necessary RFID. Looks like I will be looking for a new wallet that blocks access. I noticed Amazon has card sleeves as well as wallets. These cards will let thieves access your card while it is still in your wallet if they get within a couple of feet.
Those aluminum wallets you see advertised
on TV claim that they will stop remote CC reading.
True but I don't want to be sitting on an aluminum
Wallet. They are now coming out with nylon ones and leather ones with some sort of mesh.

You are right. I think those aluminum wallets would be a front pocket only proposition.

Problem is all the cards are headed that direction

Cashs cures the problem or Debit with small amount of
money in it,,,,(Stand alone Debit Account is what I mean)
Just another reason I'm glad I don't have one!
