Some of our supermarket rewards cards still only have the strip, not that I would take them on an overseas trip. You are correct. There are many places you still need to swipe. Thus the strip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALWAYS CRUZIN Posted July 5, 2022 #178 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Here it is. A strong magnet is not required to screw up your credit card. Even another credit card can mess one up. So as I mentioned. make sure you do not put the medallion in your pocket with a credit card. or on the table in the evening. Caution will save headache. Read on. Do Magnets Ruin Credit Cards? First, let’s address one of the main things that many people believe harm credit cards – magnets. Do magnets in fact ruin credit cards? The answer is simple – they can demagnetize the strip on the back of the credit card and therefore render the card inoperable. It is also worth noting that if you have several credit cards it is best not to keep them back-to-back in your wallet because this can sometimes accidentally cause demagnetization. In order to avoid that make sure that you keep your cards separated in your wallet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare insidecabin Posted July 5, 2022 #179 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Biggest killer of cruise cards has been the magnetic clasp on the lady bags or a phone cover. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a much stronger magnet to do that. The magnets in the medallion simply aren't strong enough (no matter what some people believe) Give it a try with one of your credit cards as proof. 😉 No thanks. Not an experiment I need to try.😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically it should be cancelled (according to some people). We shall see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chip worked OK but I couldn't test the magnetic strip unless it first wouldn't recognize the chip as the first option. Maybe it's shot but I'll never know. 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will clean them because of the magnets. Interesting, I have a small wallet with a magnetic clip that closes to hold $ bills and it does not affect my credit cards, they are RFI chipped but I have had to use the magnetic swipe at times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That magnet may not be positioned to demag the card. i am sure the company that makes it took that into consideration. The magnet must go over the strip to have any effect. Actually a magnet will not wipe the strip clean. It distorts the information so the reader will not be able to read it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhayler Posted July 10, 2022 #186 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Hi everyone This will be our first time cruising with Princess. We have the drinks package. If my husband goes to the bar to get us each a drink, will he need to have both his and my medallions? If so I imagine a lanyard would be easier than a watch type strap in this scenario? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the bartender although I've never been asked. Since you can't but the drink package for just one individual in a cabin they can charge each person accordingly. We always get 2 doubles at the same time an it's never been a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to check out the ones on ebay. To remove the medallion all you need to do is squeeze the edge of it and the pendant together. Slides right off. I love the ones we purchased. Inexpensive also. Check them out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not super sleek but comfy, can change bands according to what I am wearing and INEXPENSIVE! I also have beaded lanyard type necklaces. I think I'll change the holder on the necklace to the black one...a little sleeker. The bottom picture is the one we use. We got a package of 4 from Amazon. DH mostly kept his in a pocket, but I hooked mine to the strap on my little purse, and it worked out great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maitaivegas Posted July 11, 2022 #192 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I use an Apple Watch due to me falling a lot and I like to see how active I am. I probably would just use the lanyard because I don’t like anything on my right wrist. I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking my watch off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is silver and one is gold, but nice to have the beaded one How does the medallion clip on to the necklace? Did you have to buy a clip to attach to it? Sorry, this is my first time and I'm trying to understand how the coin goes on this necklace, because I have a lanyard very similar to this and would like to use it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need both. As a matter of fact some bartenders will just ask for your cabin number and not even look at your medallion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
