I'm a sucker. I jumped in. All credit cards in one card.

That was addressed earlier in this thread by Chakravartin's quote from their site. Basically the thing disables itself automatically when not near the phone, based on a time interval you specified when you set it up.

Your other concerns may have already been as well but the one above is what I remember. You might want to take another look at how it works. There shouldn't be any reason to have to guess.

Deck,

The info he produced was conflicting. It remains to be seen how well that actually works. And, it is also dependent on bluetooth which may or may not always be active.

I went back to the site a few times and while it offers some info, it definitely doesn't offer enough. Yet. So, we have no choice but to speculate until such a time more detail is posted on the site.

It's also notable that vendors are not supposed to take a card with no signature on the back. The signature is not just for identification purposes. It represents your contrsct with the card company.

...if they ignore this mandate and accept an unsigned card anyway, they risk financial liability should the cardholder later dispute the charge.

be that as it may, most cards i take at a well known coffee company do not have a signature. at best they say "check I.D." in the signature space. and we don't. once i did challenge someone who looked nothing like the picture on the card. it was his mom's card. had to give a pass as sometimes i have given my son my credit card to use.

twenty years ago i had a road manager travel with me and she took care of all vehicle stuff. used my credit card to pay for 10,000+ miles of gas. she always signed her name as we decided signing my name would be forgery. she was NEVER challenged. and this was in the age of signing not swiping.

Here in the US it is standard practice to hand your card to the server but in most of Europe and Canada they bring a portable reader to your table and the card is never out of your sight.
