I see, thanks for explaining.
All of my cards are scratched, even the ones that never leave the house. Not sure why anyone cares.
I just looked closely at the rewards structure on this card for the first time. It's really awful compared to my existing cards. Not sure why this has any appeal to anyone who can do math.
To answer a few questions. Basically I tried a few different ways to do this. First step was dipping one side in goo-gone. That ended up taking the magnetic strip off but the paint was still there. I then tried sanding with a block. That was working but honestly taking forever.
last step I did and worked the best was using an exacto knife. Was able to basically slice the paint off. This allowed me to remove the paint around the chip perfectly. If I would have tried this method first I would have been able to still have the magnetic strip.
after getting all the paint off I started sanding with the fine sans paper. While doing this I kept my thumb over the chip so there was never a time I was sanding the chip.
Hace used the card a few times now in the chip readers and has worked perfectly.
I since ordered a replacement card and this time I will still have the magnetic strip.
personally I like the look of the card better now instead of the white. Of course it's all preference.
