How do I know if they are really blocking my credit cards information?

Great Question. Test them at a local store. Some stores have the RFID Readers on the Credit Card machines at the register. Hold your naked card next to the reader and it will light up or make a noise to indicate it can read the card. Next, sandwich your smart card between 2 of our RFID Blocking Cards and test again. The reader will not see the blocked card and will not react. You do not need to make a purchase to test these scanners, just hold your card next to them and they will react to smart cards.

No information is shown. There is maybe a quarter of an inch that shows on the long side, and as you can see in some of the pictures, a small cut out will show on the opposite side. I usually just put my ID on top to be extra careful. Obviously someone can tell that cards are in there, but I wouldn't worry about anyone being able to read them.

PLEASE BEWARE: While I'm a huge ST fan, there are fraudulent cards floating around. I waited almost a year to load mine and found that it was a fraud. Amazon was very gracious in returning my money; don't make my mistake. Load the card as soon as you can!! That way you can find out if it's legit (which it probably is, now that CardARt has been shut down).

Yes, it doesn't detect which bill it is, it's just a pass or fail type system. Guessing that it senses the magnetic stripe. Only problems I have is it gives some false negatives, especially old bills.

When we got ours, I called our credit card processing company and they walked me through it. They have to program things on their end too, so I don't think it possible to set it up without calling them.

No - I had to fight this for over three months. I disputed this with my bank. My Bank gave me temporary Credit right away but I had to overwhelmly prove my case. I justifly won the dispute. Proactive just tries its best to take your money over and over again before the due dates. I will never recommend them to anybody.

You might be thinking friends was blocked but it could have been on the incoming call list [100 calls saved] you can remove them anytime This is not the same as Blacklist.I am having same trouble now. I called tech`s 1-786-221-5997 they said to turn off block all calls with no caller id info [step 6.0] I did this and it was no help. I`m still looking.Cleared all lists [inc,outgoing,blacklist] started from scratch and it is working fine

Hello. What it can read depends on what data is stored on the magnetic stripe. The data is original. If you want to get credit card number only, you may need to develop a program to pick up the card number. It is not the job of the reader. Thanks.

Good question. I was also concerned. So far no issue. I had a hotel room catd not work but not sure if that was the cause. I try not to have my cards touch the magnet.

My advice to you is not to trust Amazon as they use your credit cards without authorization.

My credit for all three reporting agencies range from 790 to 801, and I was DENIED --> "UNABLE TO VERIFY IDENTITY"...Are you kidding me!?? The ONLY reason I even applied for the card was for the zero interest (i.e. free money), otherwise, I'll end up charging it on another card and paying it off the next month. I suspect they may be denying those with excellent credit believing they'll make the large purchase anyway, and Amazon will not have to front for the zero interest for 3 years for a customer who could otherwise just purchase outright. I am completely baffled.

I'm afraid I bought this computer for my boyfriend who doesn't have a credit card. He uses it sparingly, so I'm afraid you'll need to get this information from someone else. Sorry.

Generally if you document your attempts to contact the seller you can proceed and contest the credit card charge. Call the credit card company and they should credit your account pending a reply from the seller. You will have to fill out a form with documentation and send it back to the credit card issuer.

they do not deliver as promised, will charge your credit card the same day but do not deliver. Will tell you fake stories how they could not find your address and that is why delivered your purchase to somebody else in another state! I don`t know where my previous comment went (obviously deleted) where I explained in detail why a person should not deal with this seller. It`s Scam!!!

THANK YOU! I've been looking for a phone number for nearly an hour now! I can't log in to pay the bill, because I can't even register - I never received the actual card in the mail. I very much appreciate this. I sure hope others out there who are obviously having the same problems (according to the message boards) are able to see this post as well. :)

Hmmm have no problem seeing numbers on my cards. Perhaps you received a defective batch.
