Is it true that an area rug (for wiping feet) which is lying on top of carpet will actually cause the carpet to wear out even faster?

    Not in my observation, but I'll let someone do a long answer if there's any evidence other than my observation of the unworn sections of rug under area rugs on carpeted floors. I hate carpet anyway...

If anything, I would expect the opposite problem: the area under the rug would wear less, and be noticeable when you take up the rug for that reason (if at all)!

Assuming the rug is color-fast, of course.
