I'm going to ask my bank to remove the feature if they can...
I dont have an OMNI card - that is the point... THe omni machine on the
busses and on subways read any card you have that is contactless..
IF the Omni card reader were farther away from the slot we put metro
cards in, I would not have lost my $2.75..
There have been stories of those using contactless procedures and been
charged twice... those with lots more funds than I have would probably
never know..

I don't know whether US banks/credit card providers offer a service to turn off

avialable as choices.
Quite a few places I go to are not even taking cash nowadays, for the same
reason.
Simplest thing to do is to keep your OMNI card separate from your credit/debit
cards, and keep the credit/debit cards in an RFID-blocking sleeve, IMO. My
little Bellroy wallet has the RFID-blocking material built into it; I use my
phone to do most of my purchase transactions anyway nowadays.
