    Has anyone had issues with cards not processing the first time? It seems to happen to me very often. I have been wondering if my card is broken or dieing.

      I had a problem with cards getting demagnetised, for a long time. IDK if i just have different stuff in my wallet now or what, but it happened to me for years and then stopped happening, years ago.

      Cashiers would always try rubbing it with a plastic bag, which frequently worked, which makes me think something something static electricity something magnets??

        This has been with transaction using the chip reader. I have two cards and both have had issues. I did change the way I am storing my cards by attaching them to the back of my phone case. I am wondering if some how that is causing issue. Maybe I should turn off my phone’s NFC reader for a little bit. See if somehow that is causing problems.

        It always fails on reading the chip. Never had an issue with tap to pay, I prefer tap to pay but not all vendors support tap to pay.
