AlanHo Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 I left one of my credit cards in a shirt pocket and Libby chucked it into the washing machine today with other cotton items for a long hot 80 C wash and 1200 rpm spin. I was expecting the card to be ruined - but it looked OK superficially so I walked over to our local Spa shop and got them to try it for both the contactless and conventional pin No. options. To my surprise it appeared none the worse for its laundering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Don't you have a wallet to keep them in Alan. It's a bit dangerous just walking about with them in your top shirt pocket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted June 8, 2018 Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I keep all mine in an aluminium wallet. It prevents anyone from scanning them when they get too close. Amazon sell them for a few pence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted June 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2018 I normally keep my cards in a foil shielded wallet. I had used it at the computer to buy something over the internet and put it in my shirt pocket fully intending to stick it my wallet later - and forgot. So come bedtime, I chucked my shirt into the washing basket and you know the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep one card just for internet shopping, using my internet shopping email. Street shopping has another specific card and email address.
