Excercise extreem caution here... my wife demagintized part of her Debit/Credit card by having her small magnets on her clip on sunglasses be close by in her purse. We could use the card only in an actual ATM where the card was pulled into the machine and read completely.. it seldom worked in the swipe kind.
All a magnet has to do is corrupt even a small section of the magnetic strip and your card can't be machine read...the account number has to be manually entered.
