What happens if you do NOT pull out your credit/atm card from the scanner quickly?

You know how many credit card scanners command you to Swipe Card Quickly or something similar?

What's the big deal with that? Is there a technical reason for this urgency in swiping our cards?

Thanks!

It won't read the card!

I'm a programmer and given a task to program a credit card scanner. Q: What info are in credit card dump?

Please help since I dont have any experiences or clues on this topic. I can see a lot of numbers and characters when the credit card is scanned but I dont know the meaning. Please give a knowledgeable answer. Thanks a lot.


You've been given the task, but no info on what you need to extract, or what format the data is in.

Sorry but you sound like someone who want's to try to make a scanner to rip people off to me.

Why does putting your credit card in plastic bag for scanning help the scanner read a worn-out card?

At the grocery store, my credit card doesn't always go through right away when the clerk scans it so often they put it in a plastic bag and scan it and voila, it usually scans right away. Wondering why this would help a scanner read a worn-out card with a magnetic strip that is getting old.


It puts extra material in the area of the scanner with the "READ" head which is set for the thickness of a "normal" card
If your card is worn this then forces the card against the "READ" head harder there by transferring the information to the "READ" head and to the computer.

If a magnet is held close to a credit card...will the card become un-readable to a scanner?



No. It has to be an AC type of current to degauss the magnetic strip.

What you can do is put the credit card in a Microwave oven. But for no more than 10 seconds. It will scramble the information

Anyone have one of those credit cards that you just hold in front of the scanner?

Like on the commercial with the elephant, where he just holds the little keychain card up to the machine?

Is it better or worse than regular credit card? Tell your experiences.


Some people feel there is a risk that the card can be read and the information captured by thieves using devices carried near you in a crowd.
