My freedom card is a little beat up I guess and when I go to my local store it doesn't swipe properly like the first ten times I try. I have only had this problem with a certain card reader, but I am wondering if its my card wearing out or if its an issue with the reader. Has anyone else had problems with their freedom card wearing out?

swipe with plastic bag over it normally does the trick

Yes the cashier did that but still took several tries before it clicked.

Oh, I remember that old trick.

It's so easy to request a card that works...

No I have not... Even my oldest beat up cards still work. They spend more time in card readers now than my wallet

True, but I'm going to move some credit over to my freedom in the next month or two and wanted to wait until then to get a new card so I could get the visa sign version at that time. Also, I have not had a problem with other readers yet. It just looks really beatup though. If I request a new card do they shut off my current one or can I keep using it in the meantime?
