Question

Hotel Key Cards

by jrlazar4 Mar 28, 2017 2:29PM PDT

I've been told that the magnetic hotel key cards contain sensitive information including credit card information and other details that I would not want in the wrong hands. For this reason, I always shred these key cards when I get back home. Is this true or is there no sensitive data on those cards to be concerned about?
