Be careful with having your card exposed; there exists a scam where someone puts a chip reader waist level in certain places, like a crowded line, where it'll skim off a few dollars off anyone who gets close enough. The rfid blocking cards work well (just do a bit of research, lots of sham ones out there), it also looks like there's some options for rid blocking phone wallets too.
