Diagnosis steps

  1. Check that NFC is turned on in the phone doing the reading
  2. Try with your own phone to rule out a problem with the card
  3. Move the card slowly around the back of the phone to find the reading area (where the NFC is on each phone)
  4. Take off the case if there is one
  5. Try with a different phone
  6. If nothing works, use the backup QR and contact support

馃挕 Tip: Always keep the backup QR as your plan B.
