OT - credit card upgrade question
| Should I destroy the RFID and just use the
| magnetic swipe? | I would and do. With my last card I asked for non-RFID and they refused to issue it, so I found the chip and drilled it out with a very small bit. Some chips can be found because there's a small bump. Some can be seen through light cards. If you can't find it you may need to order an extra card so you'll have one to shave away looking for the chip, thus telling you where to drill. Another convenient thing is software to check the chip, to make sure you killed it. I looked around and found that no one sells readers, but then I discovered there's a free Android app that can do it. A friend has an Android phone. I downloaded the free app and held the card under the phone to show the chip ID number. I then drilled out the card and checked again to make sure it was "dead". |
