yeah i've been avoiding rfid myself
sucks. as always if I ever use my debit card, i push transactions as 'credit' by not entering my pin or "canceling" it, so it routes through the Mastercard/Visa network, rather than alternative Mastreo/Circuss/NYCE (iirc) debiting/atm network
also bank of america last week issued me a new card that I didn't realize because I web-chat about my pending transactions not posting or my credit limit not reflecting credits/debits -- there was bit of a run-around because the csr-lady was looking at the "old account", which to my dismay, I asked, "WHAT OLD ACCOUNT?" "oh sorry, we issued you a new account/card"
I didn't realize thet new last-four digits of my account had change, which I copy-pasta verified to her at the beggining as well
they also couldn't tell me if it was actually compromised and if where -- just that they "felt" that they needed to replace as a "just in case" precautionary safety measure. Not sure if I should be irritated or grateful though
