      Mastercard started removing the magnetic strip from new cards this year in some European countries, and want to completely remove it worldwide by 2029.

      In the US, I’ve actually got one card that doesn’t have a magnetic strip: a debit card for Target stores (gives 5% discount for every purchase which is why I have it).
