It may have a small effect but my experience with Lexus and Toyota leather is not good. It seems to crease (and eventually crack along the crease lines) no matter how diligent you are with it. Of course, an abused card will wear much quicker.

Yeah, my '99 RX hasn't fared well - no tears yet by plenty of deep creases. Time will tell. What really frosts my a$$ is that my neighbor's 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis leather looks like new after 200,000 miles!
