Will tap-to-pay work through this RFID card holder sleeve, or do I need to take my card out first?

No. The four-layer Faraday cage in this RFID card holder blocks the 13.56 MHz signal while the card is inside. Slide the card out to tap, then slide it back to shield. That is exactly how you know it is working.

Why is this credit card sleeve color-coded instead of numbered like some other Alpine Rivers sets?

Color is faster than numbers at a busy checkout. Black, red and brown checkered credit card sleeves let you grab the right card by sight, debit included, so the whole family can tell their cards apart at a glance.

Will these card and passport holder sleeves actually fit in my wallet without adding bulk?

Yes. Each credit card sleeve is card-slim and adds almost no bulk, so it drops into bifold, trifold, front-pocket and slim wallets. The matching passport holder sleeves fit a standard passport the same way.

What does FIPS 201 approval actually mean for the RFID blocking on this card holder?

It is the US government card-shielding standard. This RFID card holder was FIPS 201 approved in 2016 (GSA APL 1424), independently verified at 13.56 MHz, the frequency contactless credit and debit cards use.

What exactly is included in the 18-piece card and passport holder set?

Eighteen pieces. Fourteen color-coded credit card sleeves, six black, four red and four brown checkered, plus four passport holder sleeves, two black, one red and one brown checkered. Enough for the whole household.
