While I agree with you, Krebs has documented several ways your ATM card can be skimmed even if you follow that advice:

- lr 7y agoThe card reader on the ATM is frightening (but I always hide my PIN with my hand, but even then, it can be guessed by muscle movements). But Apple Pay is another positive to not having to put your card in the door. If the door doesn't support Apple Pay, then I try my AAA card, which works a lot of the time. If I have to use my bank card, I really try to hide my PIN when I eventually get to the ATM.
