Dooney & Bourke RFID

I am surprised that D&B haven't pounced on the RFID wagon. Anyone know when they will?

haven't heard, but after researching it & links on here posters provided it isn't needed. Or tin foil works better.

I actually got concerned when QVC first started talking about electronic pickpocketing. I went to our bank and spoke with the branch manager and she told me is really isn't necessary because the new chip cards are more secure than the magnetic strips. She said they can't obtain names, passwords, security codes or addresses from the new cards they issued to us.

I know RFID gets pushed as a sales gimmick, and I also know I could Google this, but how serious is the problem? It's not something I have ever heard anyone say happned to them although I do know it could happen.

Anyone lost their ID to such a thief?

All the googling reveals there is a very very slim chance that it happens.

it seems each and every QVC host had this happen, one just last week. She talked about it when selling RFID that she is positive that is how they got her info. It must be horrible around the small QVC town.

Yes, a real hotbed of credit card fraud, aimed at qvc hosts. HaHa

Indeed. It significantly exceeds the law of averages.

This happened to me with my visa from Bank of America $3000 plus a trip to Puerto Rico . I was in Massachusetts at the time and they also use it at Walgreens for $63. while in Puerto Rico . BofA did the usual investigation and refunded all my money from the 3 different incidents and it was only one person . I have since bought the stronghold wallet and that works very well I try to use it at Target and several other places and I cannot scan it I have to take it out of my wallet in order to scan it and then put it back in so it does work. Dooney and Bourke should have this security feature in their bags and accessories.

Dooney is way behind the times...and it's SAD ! They need to get out of the 20th Century, and offer us wallets with *protective security*. Their wallets/ wristlets are pathetic and the prices are outrageous ! Somebody at the Company needs to realize this...and step up to The Plate and offer this !

I agree, @maryebrown. They should offer this option for those who want it. But think of how much MORE expensive these items would be than they already are! And all they're doing is putting in a lining similar to aluminum foil.

Delise, was it a huge deal for you? Did you spend a lot of time and effort on it?

Mine was was taken off a website where I have it stored. AMEX called me, asked me ?s and promptly took care of it. Didn't really affect me one bit. Just the one quick phone call, so I no longer worry about it. Not gonna spend my money trying to outsmart crooks, just my opinion.

I got something I think is good from Travelon. It is a purse organizer that has rfid protection and can just sit your nice wallets inside of it and have them be protected. I have had one for awhile and just ordered a larger size. I don't know if I really need it for any of my cards but it makes me feel better and as a bonus it is a great purse organizer and makes it easy to switch bags. I got it from the e-bags website.

My DH and I went to a Christmas Concert last December. We wrapped our CC's in aluminum foil, within our wallets, during the trip (an overnight stay, and shopping at an outlet the next day before we came home). It seems that many Young Folks just "hang out" glued to their phones (and 'doing' who knows what?). Their favorite places are the grocery stores, where I would be shopping, and I don't want my CC skimmed...I always check my bank online, daily, for charges.

I'm confused. Are you saying that there are "young folks" hanging out at the grocery store of all places, waiting to skim your credit card??????? What makes you think that's what they are doing? I mean, that would never occur to me, so I'm assuming they must have been doing something to make you think they were up to no good?

It happened to us at a Fast food restaurant out of state. Sadly there are folks out there that don't mind stealing. It's very sad. I did order RFID and I'm glad I did. I feel safer at this point.

Delise... I bought the cards that I slip into my current wallet. They are slim and take up no space. Slim chance maybe, but I'm not taking it. I gave my girlfriend a crossbody with the RFID feature since she is constantly traveling around the world and she was thrilled. I guess it's always going to be an individual decision on how cautious or concerned you are.
