Abstract
A card holder for credit card, debit card or magnetic stripe required card utilization, comprising of a holder body consisting of two walls. The walls are heat sealed leaving an opening for credit card, debit card or card with magnetic stripe, for insertion. The credit card, debit card or card with magnetic stripe face toward full vinyl wall. This allows for gauge range 5 mil/.0005 inches to about 2.5 mil/.0025 inches of embossed or non-embossed plastic film preferably polyethylene to work as a conduit between the magnetic stripes, with the credit card machine or device that requires a magnetic stripe for utilization.
Description
- The invention relates to the operation of a credit card, debit card or magnetic stripe required, more specifically, the reading of the magnetic stripe by a card machine.
- Credit cards and debit cards have become part of our society from large purchases to small they are used as a convenience. The merchant is charged a processing fee by credit card provider or issuing bank, for all credit card transactions. They typically range in the amount of 1%-3% of the total cost of the transaction. At times damaged credit cards or debit cards will be swiped, but because of damage to the magnetic stripe, the credit card machine will fail in recognizing the card. For the credit card transaction to be completed, the merchant has to key-entry the credit card's number in the machine. This can happen anywhere from 1% of the time to as often as 5% of the time. When this occurs, the merchant is then charged by the bank provider, typically around 1% more on the transaction. For example, if a merchant has an agreement that they pay 1.5% to the credit card provider or issuing bank, when the transaction is key-entered, the numbers are physically entered to complete the transaction, the charge is increased typically by 1%. In this example, on a $100 purchase the merchant will have to pay around $1.50 to the credit card provider or issuing bank on a successful credit card swiped transaction. If the credit card requires key entry the cost to the merchant will be $2.50.
- When machines are used that require magnetic stripes typically the cards are deemed worthless if they no longer work. They are then discarded. The present invention provides for the convenience of these cards to continue to be functional.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,506,395 relates to a multi-access card and card holder upon which the machine readable service access codes for a plurality of service providers may be reproduced. The card has a plurality of machine readable service access codes reproduced thereon, including at least one machine readable magnetic strip. A plurality of pockets each formed from a pair of rectangular plastic sheets joined together along three sides thereof. Each has one common peripheral joinder, and each has an open end to receive the card. At least one of the pockets is sized to receive only the portions of the card that do not have a machine readable magnetic strip service access code placed thereon.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,845,863 relates to a protective sleeve for the placement of credit cards or other cards bearing magnetic strips and bar codes on a rear surface of the cards. Cards are placed into the protective sleeve to prevent damage to the bar code and magnetic strip. The sleeve has a front clear portion for the visual identification of the front of the card and a rear portion having a thin non-conductive metallic strip embedded on the rear portion coinciding with the location of the magnetic strip on the card. A smooth fabric portion coincides with the location of the printed bar code on the card, the bar code and the magnetic strip being provided on the rear surface of the card.
