They work, but are a waste of money. You have a better chance of winning the lottery than your pay pass chip being read by a guy walking around with a laptop and antenna:)
There is a greater risk of your card being scanned by a card skimmer, which an RFID blocking device has no effect.

Michael is right. In my opinion that RFID stuff is a sales gimmick played along with the travel accoutrements companies. They feed on paranoia.
