I had a problem with cards getting demagnetised, for a long time. IDK if i just have different stuff in my wallet now or what, but it happened to me for years and then stopped happening, years ago.
Cashiers would always try rubbing it with a plastic bag, which frequently worked, which makes me think something something static electricity something magnets??
This has been with transaction using the chip reader. I have two cards and both have had issues. I did change the way I am storing my cards by attaching them to the back of my phone case. I am wondering if some how that is causing issue. Maybe I should turn off my phone's NFC reader for a little bit. See if somehow that is causing problems.
Push down gently on the exposed bit of card next time. It presses the chip up into more solid contact. Usually the culprit is a slight bend in the card from the wallet.
