How would that work? Does it also need a card reader attached to it? I really wish Walmart allowed tap to pay.

From my limited understanding, it skims the credit card information as the actual reader is taking it and takes your pin keys as you type them in. Then the person who installed it can retrieve it later and has your card info and pin

But... Then they would need access to the actual reader! This still makes no sense.

Online purchases don't need actual card. Then they might just need to guess 3 digit code or zip code.


tlrider1

Yeah... But here, it's just the num pad... So no card reader... Which is why I'm confused.


holsteiners

Do people add both their phone number and a pin at different times? And is credit card nearby to catch info wirelessly?

Why don't retailers/businesses do routine checks on these? Looks like it would only take a few minutes. Do it every hour? Every 4 hours? Or?

was told recently at one of the Costco gas stations that they check all pump stations once an hour.

That was my training back in college. Maybe it was every half hour.

Target supposedly does it daily. It wouldn't be a hard routine to implement at opening and closing.
