Chip on Apple credit card fails
(1/11) > >>
tkamiya:
I have several credit cards.  Failures on mag stripes and chips are very very rare.  In fact, I only recall having 1 or 2 failures in past decades.

When it comes to APPLE CARD though, my first one wasn't working right after arrival.  Second one failed in a months or so.  Third one was bad right out of packaging, and forth one just failed after few months of use.

Does anyone else experience this?  Apparently, the card material is some kind of titanium.  I put my card in Lether wallet, but so as all other cards.  I've never seen this bad of failure rates.
Bud:
Both mag and chip failed?

Edit: Sorry I can see the topic says Chip.

You aren't using it correctly.  :)
Bud:
Not "not using correctly" but "not holding correctly"   >:D
tkamiya:
Mag stripe works.  Just the "chip" part that fails.

I've tested it at multiple shops using different readers.  Once the chip fails, it doesn't work at any store.  (at least I check it at 3 stores before asking for a replacement)

OK, tell me about how to hold correctly, and the proper secret handshake with the casher.
