This is a Visa card. Scary to think what the hackers will do with these

We had them cancel the new card - will stick with the old one - we did not
request the "Blink" version.
We keep our wireless toll card in a metalized static bag to try to cloak
the
signal and only take it out when needed.
1984 is quarter of a Century late in coming.
