MagSafe Wallets - Do they damage bank cards?

[Damolee]

Hi,

Quite a straight forward question. Do MagSafe Wallets damage credit or debit cards?

Even though I use chip and pin, still want to avoid wiping the magnetic strip if that's needed to take cash out of the ATM.

Sorry for being so dim.

Thoughts?

Depends on the quality. I had a cheap Apple knock off one I got online for $10 and it demagnetized all my cards. After that I purchased one of the Apple leather ones and have been using it for a long time with zero issues.

I don't use cash machines much - but the last one I used, used the chip & not the stripe.

I’ve never tried the cheap knock off ones, but a genuine Apple brand MagSafe wallet won’t. I used one for about a year with the same two cards.

I have never had a problem with any of my cards after having them in a MagSafe wallet.

Thank you for your response. Think I will give it a try.

I've had some parking passes demagnetized with my Moft MagSafe wallet/stand. The parking garage person just let me leave for free each time. After about 5-6 times, it kind of clicked that my MagSafe wallet was causing it and I immediately stopped putting them in there. At least the wallet ended up paying for itself at that point.

Never had any issues with credit and debit cards though.

Who uses bank cards these days? 😳
You can withdraw money from an app and you don't need a physical card at all.

Depends on your bank.
