    Just don't lose your phone with it, and you're fine. There is no info in the coin card. It only acts as the link to you phone. It gives them something to swipe. Nothing more than that. One of the problems as I understand it, as of right now, is the person you hand that to at a restaurant, could potentially charge ALL your credit cards with it by pushing the button to bring up another one. My understanding is they are making it so it locks on whatever you choose, and you "punch in" a code to make it unlock.
    Beginning to sound like a pain already. Also they say they will make it so that the last card you selected can be used without the phone active, but that's not happening yet. You still need YOUR phone with you AND functioning, to make it work.

    If it loses the link to your phone for more than 15 minutes then it's deactivated as a security precaution. So if you walk out of the place with your phone and not your card, the card is no good. But what if your battery dies?
