Thanks for the article. BTW, you can also purchase RFID protecting sleeves for credit cards -V32906.

When I ordered new checks from my bank they offered 5 credit card sleeves with RFID blocking in them free. I bank with a NE and Canadian bank. I imagine that other banks do the same.

It is aluminum foil NOT tin.

I'm so confused by the concept of those things, lol! None of my credit cards have those RFID chips in them, anyway. Are they supposed to be very common?

Apparently they are very common in credit cards used in other countries, so if you travel, I guess you would need it.

And if you forget to wrap it up in foil when you return it to your wallet? An RFID shielded wallet is convenient.

Wrapped in aluminum foil, it wouldn't be fun to unwrap your card every time you wanted to use it. Nor to wrap it back up again.

You are so right, it would be a pain. Maybe the purse manufacturers can put a hidden foil lining in every purse!!

I think that wrapping up a card in foil may be about the classiest thing I have ever heard. I may have to toss out my credit card sleeves and now wrap mine all up in foil because that would be both very classy and so convenient.

Ha ha, totally understand. My mother and her family always called it "tin foil". No big deal! Are you from Pgh?
