I like contactless just because for some reason, my cards always get beat up and the chips become problematic on my cards after about a year. They just sit in my wallet. But half the time I go to pay with my card, I have to dip twice because the first time, the chip reader always says it is unable to read the chip.

I've also had issues at Walmart where I know some lanes to flat out avoid because the chip readers will always reject my card for unable to read the chip. With my phone, this isn't an issue. Even if I get a new card, wait 8-12 months and its the same problem again.

You know what would be more durable - a 4'' solid aluminum emv chip shaped coaster. Check us out at aluminum.finance pw 'aluminum' and let me know what you think!

You can do contactless on your card.

    If your bank issues you a card with it. I got a new card about 6 months ago, doesn't support contactless.

    But I am aware that the cards exist and I am not opposed to it. With contactless I am fine with it being on my phone or card. But I gotta have a card that has contactless to be able to use it.
