Be Mindful of Card Placement: Avoid placing your card near items that can cause physical damage, such as keys, coins, or sharp objects. If you keep multiple cards, ensure they are organised to prevent scratches and misalignment.
​

Use a Cardholder or Wallet: Always store your Timon card in a dedicated cardholder or a wallet. This protects it from scratching, bending, and general wear and tear that can occur if you accidentally sit on it or store it in a high-risk area like your back pocket.
​

Protect the Chip and Magnetic Strip: The chip and magnetic strip on your card are sensitive components crucial for transactions. Avoid exposing them to harsh elements such as water, dirt, or magnets, which can cause malfunctions. Make it a habit to store your card away from direct exposure to electronic devices with strong magnetic fields.
​

Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Extremely high or low temperatures can damage your Timon card. Do not leave it in hot places like car dashboards or near appliances that emit heat. Additionally, extreme cold can make the card brittle, so be cautious of where you store it.
​

Handle Your Card with Care: Avoid bending, twisting, or dropping your card. Rough handling can cause the card to crack or damage the embedded chip, rendering it unusable. Treat your Timon card gently to maintain its longevity.
​

Keep Your Card Dry: Exposure to moisture can cause the chip to rust. Always dry your hands before handling your card, and avoid leaving it in places where it might get wet, such as near drinks, in pockets during rain, or in damp bags.
​

Regular Cleaning: Gently clean your card with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dirt or smudges. This keeps the card’s surface clean and the chip readable by payment terminals. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that might scratch the card.
