RFID Interference

[Danger Phoenix]

I have my Oyster card and David Lloyd gym pass in my wallet and have noticed that my Oyster does not work when I touch the whole wallet on the scanner if the gym card is in there. However the gym card works fine with the scanners at the gym when the Oyster card is in my wallet.

I am guessing the two cards are interfering with each other?

I'll ask our support company what type of cards they are on Tuesday if you want as I'm not sure myself. I guess you have one of the "touch" ones don't you?

Is that Oyster or David Lloyd?

Touch ones? I didn't know there were different types

David Lloyd. I don't have much to do with the gates/swipe system but I can ask around if you really want. I think some of our sites have swipe, some have touch-pads but I can't remember at the moment

The David Lloyd in Kingston uses touch. It would be great if you could ask please. I'm not really looking for a solution, but just curious as to why it stops the Oyster working.
