QuestionI saw this product on the news but don't understand - When do you need this product? How does it protect my credit cards?
Asked 4 years ago by Nicole.
- Answer Hi Nicole, Thank you for your question. You need the SkimSure card if you have a contactless credit or debit card. Today most Americans have a contactless card without knowing it, you recognize these cards by the WiFi-symbol that is printed on the front or back of your card. As you saw on the news, criminals have now found a way to wirelessly steal your card's details from up to several feet away by using a cell phone or a scanner. The SkimSure Credit Card Protector prevents this from happening when you place the SkimSure Credit Card Protector together with your credit/debit cards eg. in your wallet. If someone tries to scan your credit/debit cards, the SkimSure Credit Card Protector instantly activates and sends out a jamming signal that interferes with the thief's equipment. Just place the SkimSure Credit Card Protector in your wallet and you're protected!

QuestionThe company can give all the information they want. But as consumers, how do we know definitively if this card works? Is there a place or website we can go to so we can test the card?
Asked 4 years ago by CJW69.
- Answer Hi. When I received mine I had it on top of my credit card and tried 3 times to tap & pay and my card would not work. I put the Skimsure back in my pocket and with one tap of my credit card, paid for my order. I will be testing like this monthly as the card is supposed to work for 3 years.

QuestionAnother question: Why would this only have a lifespan of 3 years? It's not powered by any type of battery.
Asked 4 years ago by CJW69.
- Answer Hello, Thank you for your question. The SkimSure Credit Card Protector is powered by the inductive energy that is transmitted by the thief's device. The SkimSure Credit Card Protector can be powered up a certain amount of times and we therefore guarantee a life span of minimum three years. Let us know if you have any further questions. Have a great day!

QuestionSkimsure is advertised to protect credit cards from skimming. Does it work on Passports and Permanent Residency Card (aka Green Card) that also have embedded RFID Chips?
Asked 4 years ago by kbcalbee.
- Answer Yes it does. However there is a very low risk that an unauthorized person would wirelessly steal your passport data. The reason for this is that you need access to your physical passport to read the data on the embedded RFID chip. First you need to read a security code that is only printed on a page in your physical passport, you then need to enter that code into the equipment you are using to read your passport. If you do not have access to this security code the RFID chip will not transmit it’s data. This is more secure compared to a credit card which will always transfer your sensitive card details if it is read by a scanner.

QuestionHow many cards can I fit Into one Skinsure sleeve?
Asked 4 years ago by Bestbuycustomer2021.
- Answer Hello Joseph, The SkimSure Credit Card Protector is not a sleeve, it has the shape of a regular credit or debit card. You just place it together with your credit/debit cards and the SkimSure card protects them. When someone tries to steal your card details contactless, SkimSure’s built in jamming device is automatically activated and creates a protective forcefield around your credit and debit cards. This makes it impossible for a thief to obtain your card details. This way, there is no need to place your credit cards in a sleeve. Up to 8 credit/debit cards within 1’’ from the SkimSure card are protected. We have developed the SkimSure Credit Card Protector to be a much more secure and convenient solution than sleeves for your credit cards.

QuestionDoes this protect both VISA and American Express cards?
Asked 4 years ago by Andy59.
- Answer As I’ve understood it SkimSure protects all types of credit cards as long as it’s a “tap and go” card (the card with a wifi-symbol on, which most people seem to have today)

QuestionSkimsure must have some type of power source. Is it something like a solar battery that is rechargeable? If it will die, what is the longest time that I can expect it to work before I need to replace it?
Asked 4 years ago by HowLongDoesSkimsureLast.
- Answer This question is answered elsewhere, but just to repeat: the card has a chip of its own, like the kind you might have at work enter your building or office. The chip is powered by the scanning device, which charges it while scanning it. After a certain amount of scans, the "battery" component of it is exhausted (just like you can only charge your laptop a certain number of times). Then it needs replacement. There is no way to give an exact number of scans before exhausting the components. It's like asking how long a tire will last.

QuestionCan you clarify what is meant by this device being able to protect credit cards within 1"? For example, if I have 20 credit cards in a wallet and place this device in the middle of them, will this protect all 20 credit cards?
Asked 4 years ago by killians913.
- Answer The package says that the card contains a jamming device that sends out a 1” protective shield on each side of the card making it impossible for thieves to scan your card. I would think that having the Skimsure card on the top of your cards would work. For a sure answer, I’d email the company Skimsure.com

QuestionMy "Skimsure" card went through wash in wallet. Will this affect the protection?
Asked 4 years ago by jab1949.
- Answer As long as the card didn't separate in the wash i would assume it would still work, but i don't know that for sure. I would recommend you submit your question to the support department at SkimSure.com.

QuestionIf you have more than 8 credit cards, can/should you put 2 of these amongst your cards in your wallet? Or does 2 of these so close to each other disrupt them working properly?
Asked 4 years ago by Aron.
- Answer Hi Aron, Thank you for your question. If you need one or two SkimSure Credit Card Protectors depend on several factors such as the material of your wallet, the distance between your credit cards etc. From the instruction manual that comes with the product: "Immediately after placing the SkimSure Credit Card Protector together with your credit and debit cards you must test its functionality to ensure that you have placed it properly. You do this by holding your wallet/purse/cell phone case/card holder, or whatever container you keep your credit and debit cards and the SkimSure Credit Card protector in, against a checkout terminal when you pay contactless for something. If the payment is successful, you need to place your credit and debit cards closer to the SkimSure Credit Card Protector." We suggest that you buy two SkimSure Credit Card Protectors and then perform a test as in the instructions with only one SkimSure Credit Card Protector. If the test is successful you can return the one that you haven't yet opened.

QuestionDoes this card interfere the security door device in mall?I purchased this card and when i am entering the mall/grocery stores the security door device keeps on beeping( when someone steels an item in the store]. Do i need to register it online to work?
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The SkimSure Credit Card Protector does not activate shop alarms. However, a combination of various contactless cards can under rare circumstances activate a shop alarm. If you have experienced this we recommend to try and change which slot in your wallet or card holder that you place your contactless cards and the SkimSure Credit Card Protector in. If the problem persists you are welcome to contact us at [email protected] and we will assist you. You don’t have to register your SkimSure Credit Card Protector but we highly recommend it as you will receive a notification when your product is about to expire after three years.
