Question about hotel key cards that just stop working

I was staying at a hotel for a conference last month, and my key card decided to quit on me right after I got back from dinner. The front desk had to make a new one, but it happened again the next morning (super annoying when you're in a rush). Do other people find this happening more often lately, or is it just bad luck on my part? It's such a small thing, but it really messes up your day when you can't get into your own room.

Huh, I always thought it was bad luck, but not anymore.

Actually heard it's a tech thing. The magnetic strips get wiped by phones or other cards in your pocket. So it's not just random bad luck.
