I put my Amex in my wallet. How do you stop it from accidentally paying the NFC terminals at transit centers?

I don't know how this is even possible when commercial NFC readers are restricted to 4cm.

Get an RFID blocking wallet if you are so paranoid, but like others said- not probable with commercial readers and there is fraud protection anyway.

If you don’t want to invest in a RFID blocking wallet, just put a sheet of aluminum foil in your wallet on the outermost layer of the wallet. It should block NFCs from reading your CCs, unless you explicitly take your CC out of the wallet.

Rfid safe wallets

Don’t scan your wallet? I’m confused what you’re asking. Do you think your NFC cards get scanned just because you’re carrying them?

I need to tap my wallet on the terminal because my transit card works using NFC tech as well. I think my Amex card thinks I'm tapping it too

I would recommend one of these options for your situation:
1. You can get a single rfid card sleeve and just put the amex in it to block that cards nfc
2. See if your transit system lets you add transit card to mobile wallet and use your phone instead

Hi Fishes,

My last working date with TCS is on 4th March 2022 and now they are offering me 80% hike and Canada onsite opportunity and telling that will initiate visa as soon as I take resignation back and also ready to provide written confirmation. On the other hand I have an offer from IBM of 120% hike fixed and performance bonus would be there which I am not considering now.

Which one would be better? please suggest based on your knowledge and experience.

Were any Big 4 companies directly involved in the ‘08 financial crisis?

A lot of folks, this bowl included, are getting a reality check at the moment, which i think is good for learning experiences. Can’t call yourself an “investor” but the second you see a position fall +20-30% start to question or panic sell. However, if this is you, and your equity position was initiated off a whim or a blind recommendation, I struggle to feel any sympathy lol especially if you were someone buying stocks (MGNI for example) when they were approaching ATH
