Hmm, wonder if some readers have a wider gap making a poor connection. Surely you could have that restriction lifted if you wanted to pay at pump?

But most use chip and pin now
Sorry should've said it's the chip that breaks, they still swipe ok. I don't put phone and wallet in the same pocket anyway though.

Ah at least it's not just me then!!
I've only fully snapped a couple, the chip seems to fail before they get that bad lol. Seems daft they don't make a card strong enough to live in a wallet under an arse for a few years...
