RFID Blocking Card for the wallet

[ATCclears]

I came across an article on these. Anyone using similar? Worth it?

I thought it might make an inexpensive stocking stuff for the family.

I have one, and since I got it, I set off every shoplifting alarm I walk through.

I use one, but have yet to set off any alarms. I wonder if
it's because of my metallic Duct Tape Wallet.

I bought an RFID blocking wallet a couple of years ago,
No idea how well it works, but the reviews were good, and I haven't had a credit card hijacked since.

^^^^^^ This. Our cards were hijacked a couple of times a year. About 2 years ago wife went to a
rfid blocking card case for her purse, and I went to a decent leather rfid blocking wallet. Haven't had a card hijacked since. Brand on the wallet is TRNDZ.

Our wives must have graduated from the same school of thought.

I bought an RFID blocking wallet. Never had the shop lifter alarm go off like the card.

Also bought some passport RFID blockers as well.

I got hijacked by Home Depot twice, got an RFID blocker wallet and haven't been jacked since! It seems to work well, and bonus is it also makes a visual scan of my DL impossible, you can see it clear with bare eyes, but Scanners cannot read it when some jackwagon clerk tries to scan it! I NEVER HAND ANY ONE MY D.L. PERIOD!!! There is Non one outside LEO who needs or requires me to show a D.L. and I refuse! I have been asked to leave businesses for refusing to show my D.L. !

Elaborate please

It's simple really, I take my Kobalt and drill a hole in the chip.....that's all

I try the chip 3 times and it doesn't work (go figure) then I swipe it and do my pin. Got some weird looks, especially at Freddie's. Had a manager tell me that it was the last time I could do that cause I "defaced" my card....that was like 3 years ago. Still shop at the same Freddie's......

I understand drilling a hole

So the assumption is it renders the chip useless and you just swipe the card?

YEP. That's EXACTLY how it works. Just like the "old days".

Got it, thanks!

I have an RFID blocking wallet because that feature came with the wallet layout I wanted.

If it didn't come with it, I'd have purchased the wallet anyway.

Ah, the old days
