Proper Handling of Credit Cards
A credit card is a thin sheet of hard plastic card that can be used to buy goods from a store. This thin sheet of plastic has a magnetic strip on one side that contains the information about the owner of the card. This is the one responsible for transferring information regarding the card owner once it has been swiped in a terminal.
Since the information is contained in the magnetic strip, a credit card should be kept away from any magnetic material. Once it gets in contact with a strong magnetic material, there is a chance that the information contained in it will get erased or corrupted thus destroying the credit card. If you have a credit card, it is strongly advised that you keep it away from other magnetic materials such as the lock in your wallet or keeping it with other cards with not separation in between.
Aside from protecting it from other magnetic materials, the strip should not be scratched. Scratching it also destroys the information inside it.
A credit card should not be bent in any way. Bending of the card can destroy the data strip or it can break the card into two. As much as possible, a credit card should be kept in a container that can provide a strong support for it that it will be easily bent even when placed inside your pocket.
