    You can buy wallets that don't allow RFID signals to pass through. Problem solved?

    Either that or banks could issue contact less cards with protective holders/cases that achieve the same thing.

    Edit: I'm referring to the more recent posts about card skimming rather than the thread's original topic of stolen cards.
    What will your verse be?

    Well they seem to be randomly selecting people (Although all customers in places like London who are eligible are getting them) although you can opt in. The other possibility is that you got their online only card and are not eligible for the offline one (hence why you didn't get a contactless card).

    I'm pretty sure my card is offline- after all they sent me a chequebook without me even asking!
