Right up until you can't get into your hotel room 'cause you've wiped your swipe-card.
- teddythetwig 9y agoBeen there :/ I'm not sure what it is, but it seems like hotel keycards are quite low quality devices, because it doesn't happen with credit cards.
- rusk 9y agoCredit-card is imprinted once for all time; a hotel room key may be imprinted at any time, for each time a guest needs a new key. Presumably the "Read Only" vs "Read/Write" nature of these usecases confers a particular amount of robustness on the former.
