OT - credit card upgrade question

Got a note today from one of my card providers. They will soon be sending me upgrade, a card with RFID chip. They say that the chip will provide a unique transaction ID number for each purcahse, which will make fraud less likely. I'm thinking about the various Youtube videos of guys walking around malls with scanners, and harvesting CC numbers and personal data. Should I destroy the FRFID and just use the magnetic swipe? - . Christopher A. Young learn more about Jesus . www.lds.org . . Do they actually say that it is "RFID" or is it merely a chipped card (chip and pin)? The latter has been used in the rest of the world for a very long time rather than our primitive magnetic swipe cards? All of the North American CC purveyors are supposed to be switching to chipped cards although they are fighting it and dragging their feet. |
