Protecting my season ticket

sammylou100

I purchased my annual season ticket last Monday & the magnetic strip on the back has already failed twice. Apparently this is happening because it's kept too close to my mobile phone or work pass. I know the simple answer to this question is 'keep them apart', but in a handbag that can be tricky! I heard a while ago about a protective pass holder you could buy which worked as a sort of shield, but a google search has come up blank. I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows of what these are called or where they can be purchased as it's really frustrating to have to keep replacing it.
Hopefully one day they'll find a way of making a £5k train ticket a little more sturdy!

They are known as 'Shielded card wallets or holders'. Or you can make your own by using a standard card wallet and place aluminium foil in the two outer pockets.
