Will a magstripe card cause a credit card to lose functionality if in the same wallet or purse?

Yes it is possible if the magnetic strip is facing the credit card’s strip and left there for prolonged amount of time.  Just touching for a brief moment should not have an effect;  it is duration where a problem could be caused.
