For one, hotel cards are much thinner so the magnetic strip can be physically closer to a cell phone's radio waves. It's also possible the magnetic strip itself is thinner and has a less powerful magnetic field that can be altered more easily.

Forgive me for asking again, but is it safe to carry your iPhone next to your credit card or electronic key fob in your pocket? I have the (bad?) habit of letting them touch each other all too frequently. I've only had one incident of the CC being demagg'ed.
