    This has been with transaction using the chip reader. I have two cards and both have had issues. I did change the way I am storing my cards by attaching them to the back of my phone case. I am wondering if some how that is causing issue. Maybe I should turn off my phone’s NFC reader for a little bit. See if somehow that is causing problems.

      Push down gently on the exposed bit of card next time. It presses the chip up into more solid contact. Usually the culprit is a slight bend in the card from the wallet.

      Yeah… your phone has a number of different kinds of electrical fields and sometimes magnetic fields. I would not store a somewhat sensitive chip or magnetic stripe card anywhere near a phone.
