Ok, this doesn't necessarily pertain to credit but more to the physical card itself. What should you not do to your card to damage the magnetic strip on it? I was just wondering since my mom had one demagnetized by having it in an eel skin wallet in her purse. I would assume from that that if a card came in close enough to a magnet, you might have to get a replacement card. Also how about storing cards together. I haven't heard anything about it so I would assume the strip one one card would not have an effect on the strip on another one if they are placed close to each other in a wallet.
Thanks,
Dan
