A standard RFID mifare reader (which can read ISO 14443, that Amex RFID is based on), will cost you at LEAST $30-$50 for a cheap one, and more for a better on.  And these won't read it, because it's not standard Mifare.<br><br>It looks like he is using an actual reader meant to read those cards, which I cannot find on eBay, and I doubt it would go for as little as $8.<br><br>And I'm not so sure the actual card number would be available on the RFID.  If you call Amex, they can disableth RFID portion of the card (i.e. it will workbut no longer be accepted)  If it used your normal account number, I don't think you could do that.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Azureice]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 19th 2008 10:32PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on RFID credit cards easily hacked with $8 reader]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/rfid-credit-cards-easily-hacked-with-8-reader/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/rfid-credit-cards-easily-hacked-with-8-reader/</guid><description><![CDATA[So basically just ride the subway in NYC during rush hour, and you're bound to scan at least a few cards.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 19th 2008 11:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on RFID credit cards easily hacked with $8 reader]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/rfid-credit-cards-easily-hacked-with-8-reader/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/rfid-credit-cards-easily-hacked-with-8-reader/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is this PCI  or PABP compliant?
