1. Is there a way to safely disable to contactless functionality. (I'm not sure I have access to an xray machine)
2. How has other people's expereince been with asking for non-contactless cards with other providers? Chase just flat out said "we can't offer a non-contactless card". The CSR then tried to go on about how it can be emotional/and frustrating
In Canada, where contactless is actually fairly common, scammers have apparently tried to steal CC info by being in proximity of users.
Wallets that block wireless signal can be used to avoid that. Not sure if they are for sale in US.
