Every card and tag that leaves W2 Collective is programmed once, then sealed. Once your link is set, it stays set — nobody tapping it out of curiosity, no passer-by with the wrong intentions, no accident, can change where it points. Most tap cards on the market can't say that.
The chip inside a basic NFC card or sticker is rewritable by design — that's how the factory programs it in the first place. The catch: on most cheap cards, nothing turns that off afterwards. Anyone with a £2 NFC-writing app on their phone can hold it near an unlocked card for a second and silently repoint it — to a scam page, a competitor, or nothing at all.
Most businesses never think about it, because most of the time nobody tries. But a card sitting on a till, a table or a shop window all day is exactly the kind of object that's easy to tamper with and hard to keep watching. It's a small, quiet gap — and almost nobody selling NFC cards tells you it exists.
Every card and tag across W2 Taps and W2 Reviews is locked before it ships. We won't publish exactly how the lock works — that's deliberate, the fewer people who know, the safer every card stays. What we can tell you: it's built into the chip itself, checked before your order goes out, and it isn't something that can be undone with an app, a tap, or a guess.
The link you set is the link that stays live — today, next month, next year. No drift, no surprises.
No one can reprogram your card once it leaves our hands — not a curious customer, not a passer-by, not an accident.
Want to point it somewhere new later? That's something only you control, through us, on your terms.
Yes — the chip is rewritable, just not by anyone except us. Message us and we'll reprogram it, no need to buy a new card.
No. QR codes are exactly the kind of thing a tap is meant to replace — no camera, no square to line up, just a tap.
Almost every phone from the last several years does — it's the same tech behind tap-to-pay. On an older device, we can send the link another way instead.
