Does the magnet really mess with credit cards?

Hasn't with any of mine and I carry 3 credit cards and a key card for work.

Yes, but here is the proof. Sherry is also associate director of the Rogers Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Center and a radiology professor at the university's Southwestern Medical Center. In other words, he's got plenty of magnetic experience for our purposes. He heard us out and politely corrected our assumption about the relationship between the strength of the magnet and its power over the data on the stripe. "The field strength isn't all that important," he said. "Even the refrigerator magnet should work eventually." So what was the deciding factor? Exposure time. "It is well known that magnets will wipe out information on credit card stripes," Sherry said. "However, it doesn't always happen after one exposure. It may take several exposures for the card to be deactivated, but it will happen eventually."

I dont think same technology i doubt it. demags is technolory for something like that and newer technologies that use chips like rfids are not afectedThis magnet will bite you if not careful however. And will mess up credit cards if you get near. I use my magnets for holding thinks in place

Well if I did, and in fact I did....I no longer am worried about it. The magnetic part of the setup is attached to the air vent on the dash. There aren't any magnets attached to the phone when it is not attached to the air vent. The magnet is on the Tetrax device. There is a steel button attached approximately centered on the back of the phone and it is not magnetized. I have it attached to the dashboard for about 2.5 hours per day and over the last couple of months have not had any data problems with the phone whatsoever. Holds a Note 2 like it was nailed on the dash.

I don't usually place anything with magnetic strips, hence any magnetic field can potentially demagnetize credit cards, etc.

Hello. What it can read depends on what data is stored on the magnetic stripe. The data is original. If you want to get credit card number only, you may need to develop a program to pick up the card number. It is not the job of the reader. Thanks.

I think it works fine. When I didn't use the foil is when they got me. I think you have to be sure that the foil is on both sides of the card. I have a clutch wallet and I put the foil in the two area behind the credit card holders.

I have been wearing my glasses in bed for several months. They are strong enough to stay clicked but will the glasses flex if I fall asleep with them on so they don't break. I don't think they are strong enough to affect CC cards or ID passcards. I haven't noticed any decrease in magnet power with months of use.

according to this, as long as the magnet is 1 inch away from the magnetic strip, it should be ok. I just opened my wallet and checked, if you place the card in the card slot so the magnetic strip is farther rather than close to the magnet, its about an inch away. I don't think that it will destroy the cards. http://www.creditcards.com/credit-card-news/demagnetization-ruin-credit-card-magnetic-stripe-1273.php

Hi Ana R.!Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) The magnet should have no effect whatsoever on your device. Let me know if I can be of more help here at this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-seller/contact-seller.html/ref=aag_m_fi?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isCBA;=&isPopup;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID;=&sellerID;=AP0GL3AYI3XW1Have a good day!Maureen / The Friendly Swede

I have had no problem with my credit cards. I have had the case for about 2 months and seen no problem as of now. But I only try to carry one credit card on me and I put that card in the front pocket.

Good question; but as a happy user of this wallet, there's no risk of damaging your card. The magnet is at the very top, away from the card space, and you'd have to put some effort into trying to actually damage your card for any damage to occur.I've been using this case/wallet since it's launch, and I've yet to damage any of my (8) cards.. I wouldn't put anything at the card opening at the back though, it's a bit too tight.Hope this helps..

It will close magnetically with a card, a license and one bill, if the bill is folded into thirds. Any more than that and it will close, but not enough so that the magnets that hold it closed can engage.

Hi. Actually there is no magnet. If fact nothing holds it closed. It is just basically a wallet with a plastic holder for the phone. I can carry my cash and cards.

A little round magnet, not really strong. However, I wouldn't put credit cards in the slots even if there wasn't a magnet.

I carry 1 extra id card in where I keep my cash & only put $20 in there since I use mainly my credit card for purchases. Sometimes I do put $40 & it fits nicely. No problem with the magnet holding it close :D

There is one small magnet on the strap for the case I have and not a snap button. I have had my credit cards in it for quite a while now but have not had any issues with my credit cards not working. I believe it would take a more powerful magnet to make that happen. With that said you can only get away with putting a few cards and a few dollar bills in the case or otherwise it's too thick and the magnet won't keep it shut. But it's still a great case.

I have not had any issues with my debit/ credit cards. I typically put my license in front of debit card and another non-magnetic strip ID on the other side closest to the magnet. So far, so good.
