Maybe... But there's a better solution

There are a couple of solutions to the problem of RFID hijacking.

I believe that you can ask the banks to disable that feature on your account. The feature is the pay and wave technology that you see in many places. At doesn't prevent the hijacking tho.

Many banks have little envelopes that you can get for your cards and there are commercial products put there that do same. The RFID technology has been used in passports and trusted traveller ID for a few years now and they provide you with a foil/metallic envelope to prevent reading.

Inane a. Idea clip on my work PC, but I don't have access to it today. If you search on you tube for credit card hijacking, there's an excellent news piece on it.
