Intro:
we are now issued credit and debit cards with a little "speaker" symbol
on them so that one can be totally contactless when using a card.. just
swish your card on the vicinity of/ over the designated reader and it
takes your money. IN NY we have these things called an OMNI reader on
busses and subways. since I am a senior I have my own card which one
still has to swipe because the Omni machine is reading your regular
credit crds and doesn't know you are old. HOwever that does not keep
the OMNI machine which is often located right next to the metrocard
slot, from reading a credit card that gets close to it. bottom line..
MY debit card is in a lanyard that hangs on my neck
and at a level that , when I leaned forward to dip my metrocard got too
close to the OMNI reader and releaved me of $2.75 ..
NOw I have to pay especially close attention to my money so I found what
happened and eventually got my money back and was told I should keep my
credit cards in those protective sleeves they make for passport cards.
I also can't get another card without the chip in it that lets you swish
instead of insert a card ...
anyone know how I can disable that feature without disabling my regular
chip or swipe strip? IT is at the opposite end of the card from the
regular chip and not near the
swipe strip.
Thanks
ann
