You can have 2 RFID cards in a single wallet by putting a credit card-sized

Someone remind me - arn't we being told RFID is supposed to make life easier?

Requiring multiple wallets or wallets with seperate sections or ****ing
around
with bloody tin foil and then having to remember which way up to put the
wallet
on the reader for gods sake wouldn't be my definition of "easier".

So keep the card(s) outside the wallet, just as you'd have done with any
older technology cards.

Is that supposed to be a serious suggestion? Perhaps you haven't quite grasped
the concept of a "wallet". Here, this might help:

Thank you for being as helpful as ever. I find it a lot more convenient to
keep my Oyster card separate from my thick wallet full or other cards,
coins, notes, etc. I'd much rather not take that out of my pocket at ticket
barriers.


I also keep my Oyster card in a separate holder, but since I got a new
contactless debit card I now have to keep my Freedom Pass in yet another holder.


I keep my contactless debit card in my main wallet. I've also put a piece
of Al foil in the wallet to stop the card being detected when it's in the
wallet. I don't usually take my Oyster and Freedom cards out together.
