Does Cell Phone Demagnatize Cards?

[Kevenswife2]

Leaving in 25 hours (7/29 @ 5:45 am) for a quick 4-day WDW fix! My Baggallini has a spot for my cell phone right with my credit cards.

Question: Is there any way my Droid X will mess up my Visa or Disney Key to the World?

Visa, no. Hotel room key or KKTW - yes.

I've always been told not to let the black strip touch your phone and also not to let the black strips touch each other. That doing either of these could potentially demagnetize your cards.

This happens to me all the time even when they are stored separately but near each other, so I'd keep them as far apart as possible.

Definately keep them separated. So glad you mentioned that. I have had many problems with hotel room keys in the past. I'll plan on putting my key card in a sleeve of some sort to prevent this...

Never had a problem with my Visa card but definitely have had an issue with my KTTW card. Keep them separated

 

[Kevenswife2]

Thanks for the info...kind of what I thought.

Have a great time...

Definitely an issue with a blackberry I had in the past as it had a magnet to let the phone know when you took it out of the case.
Could also be an issue if your phone case (if you use one) has a magnet to hold it shut.

I always try my best to keep cards away from any sort of electronic device. When in the parks I keep cards in a little wallet - its plastic, basically an added card slot thingy you can buy for any wallet.

I keep cell phone and camera away from that by placing in a separate compartment in my cross body bag. Compartment bags are great for traveling the parks and keeping things separate and organized.
