Wireless Charging Issues

Has anyone's credit cards been demagnetized by the Wireless Charger? I keep putting my wallet near there and then my cards don't work. Don't know if it's the phone or the charger.

(BTW: to the guy who obviously has a crush on me, it finally let me post a new thread! Although appreciation and apologetics is not in my contact, I can offer you a total of three tea biscuits or four Wheat Thins. Nothing more)

I mean I'm aware of that. And I don't put it in there, I put it right on the passenger seat and it has happened to two different cards. Just wanna know if anyone else has had this problem...

Hope someone can shed some light on this as I always have my wallet in my backpocket

Yes a wireless charging pad will definitely damage a credit card. A current is always going through those thing unless there's a place to completely shut it off.
