Most credit and debit cards are not contactless and can only be read when inserted into a reader. Why not use one of those?

- tonylemesmer 11y agoThese contactless cards can also be used on TFL (Transport for London) Underground entry points, directly debiting your bank account. There is no mechanical degradation associated with using a contactless card whereas in my experience swiping the mag-stripe is problematic. However as many have pointed out, there are potentially a boat load of skimming issues.
