Method and systems for obtaining direct feedback from a payment card by using energy received from a radio frequency identification (RFID) card reader is provided. The method is implemented by a processor that is embedded in the payment card. The method includes: receiving, from the RFID card reader, a radio frequency (RF) signal that relates to a proposed transaction; transmitting, to the RFID card reader, account information that relates to the proposed transaction; and causing an actuator that is embedded in the payment card to actuate a feedback action based on the RF signal. The actuator may include a haptic device that generates a vibration that is detectable by a touch of a user of the payment card.

Method and system for obtaining direct feedback from interactive passive RFID card

Payment cards with activated information displays are described. In one embodiment, a payment card may include: a first layer; a second layer comprising an elastic material; an actuator; and an information layer between the first layer and the second layer, comprising: a plurality of information voids; and a microfluidic channel that communicates the plurality of information voids with the actuator. A fluid may be provided in the microfluidic channel such that when the actuator is depressed, fluid flows into the information voids making the information voids visible through the second layer, and when the actuator is released, the fluid flows out of the information voids making the information voids substantially invisible through the second layer.

Payment cards with activated information displays

A contactless card may include: a first card portion and a second card portion; a manipulation area between the first card portion and the second card portion, wherein the contactless card may be manipulatable about the manipulation area; a chip storing information; and an antenna in communication with the chip comprising a first antenna portion in the first card portion and a second antenna portion in the second card portion, wherein the first antenna portion and the second antenna portion are electrically connected when the contactless card is in a first orientation such that the information can be read by radio frequency communication from the chip via the antenna, and the first antenna portion and the second antenna portion are electrically disconnected when the contactless card is in a second orientation such that the information cannot be read by radio frequency communication from the chip via the antenna.
