How does a magnet in a credit card work?

Yes, The black strip on the back of a credit card (or any other plastic card with a dark strip) stores information on it in magnetic form. Thus if you place a credit card near a strong magnet it will change/damage this magnetic information making the strip unreadable.
Does putting ferrous metal behind a magnet increase the magnets Gauss output?
Putting ferrous metal behind a magnet does not increase the magnet's Gauss output; rather, it can affect the magnetic field distribution. Ferrous materials can concentrate and redirect magnetic field lines, potentially enhancing the effective field in certain areas but not increasing the intrinsic strength of the magnet itself. The Gauss measurement refers to the strength of the magnetic field generated by the magnet alone, which remains unchanged by the presence of ferrous materials.
How do you erase magnetic information on a credit card?
Take a magnet, swipe it on the magnetic strip on the card.
Can a magnet delete everything on a computer by just putting it on the outside?
No. A magnet only interfers with magnetic fields ... lots of old IBMs used magnetic memory cards and that's where the stories started. It might erase a floppy disk, but an electro-magnet does the job much better than a perminant magnet.
