An Idea and a question
 
I think I have a good idea that I haven't seen posted before.
With the new metal wallets that have come to be very popular lately for guarding your credit card info. I decided that I want to make a few fabric wallets with a layer of the silver material found on ironing board covers. Do you think it would be enough to keep those "trackers" from getting the info off CC? I suppose if it is a good idea, I'll see these being sold everywhere. :) If it works... all the better to keep the creeps from steeling CC info. Dee

Great idea if it works! Ive seen reports saying metal wallets dont work so im not sure. anyone know???

From what I understand, the culprit with credit cards is the RFID chip inside the card. I've requested cards without it and the cc company was happy to send them. I can't use them in blink machines like I used to but there's only one store around here that has blink anyway, and I can still use my cc the regular way. As for the fabric, I doubt it would be dense enough metal-wise.

I heard that aluminum foil will work.

If aluminum foil works, then maybe you could use the bottom from a disposable baking pan to cut pieces to fit your card holder. I think I'm going to try it!!!
