How would it make the credit card transactions more vulnerable?  The
combined card places separate technologies on the same piece of plastic.
It's not as if the Oyster chip will have special access to the
chip-and-pin chip.  Using a MIFARE scanner to read and clone the Oyster
component will not give you the credit card capability.
