Why are they canceling my keycards? What's the hotelish reason?

Any insight appreciated.
I'm sure you look pretty dodgy, and they want to keep an eye on you.

Some keycard systems are sensitive, just having the card next to a cellphone will make it unusable. I find this highly annoying. The prox type keys don't have this problem.

I had this happen 5 times during a 3 day stay last year. Not a happy camper.
