Yes, lots.
Are you going to start the bidding?
Is there a reserve on her JB?
No. All reasonable offers considered.
Don’t let them take our card on of sight. Contactless and using your pin should be done with you holding the card. They have portable machines to enable this. With small transactions the best practice seems to be that they ask you if you’d like to use contactless and in some cases if you are OK for them to do it for you, but right in front of you, not out of sight. It should be safe enough if you follow the basics, but it’s still new for a lot of people. My mum used it for the first time this weekend and felt quite excited to be a modern woman 
It only works for transactions under £20 or £30, depending on the card and only for a few transactions a day. One thing I don’t get is that they are sometimes unable to provide a receipt, which I suspect is a user error rather than a restriction. Either way I use it a lot and never had a problem.
When my brother visited (from Macclesfield) last year he complained that in the UK the limit is set too low, he said our limit of $100 (£50) was far more sensible.
One of my real annoyances with Woollies is that they always ask if you want a receipt, I always say “yes” but I presume it is just a money saving exercise.
I much prefer the lower limit of £20…any would be thief isn’t going to benefit too much and wont be able to fund his next “fix” from such limits.
Yes, as I understand it, that is the reason for that limit.
I have a contactless credit card but have never had the need to use it as such. In fact, when it is coming up for renewal I shall ask for it to be replaced by a non-contact card.
They changed it to £30 some while back Tpin, and only three contactless transactons per day.
Probably best not to give your card to thieves or addicts then.
Your bank protects you from illegal transactions.
Nooooo…you’re kidding aren’t you…I’d never have thought that.
Glad to have been of help.
I’d rather not make it easy for the thief…thats why I sent my card back and refused a contactless card.
Whether the bank covers the loss or not I refuse to make it easier for scum to profit from what I see as a step back in card security.
The contactless card system serves no purpose whatsoever in practical terms. It doesn’t speed up queues at tills, it isn’t cheaper for the banks to operate, it isn’t any safer.
It has but one single purpose, which is . . .
to pave the way for human RFID tagging
Your are simply being conditioned to accept an electronic device as an ID marker which can be used to make payments. Soon enough that electronic ID marker will be implanted under your skin between your thumb and index finger.
Thousands of people are already trialling this RFID tagging technology. The use of contactless cards to make payments is a scam or ruse to show just ONE small application of this technology. The more invasive and nefarious uses are to “bag and tag” you like a criminal on parole so that your every movement can be recorded wherever you go. There will be hidden tag readers everywhere you go, every shop, outlet, public area, station, theatre and so on.
If you accept contactless cards for payments you are allowing yourself to be preconditioned for an Orwellian 1984 style ankle tag, except that the tag will be implanted in your hand. Don’t go there. It will herald the total end of your privacy as a human, as an individual. It will be the equivalent of accepting that 666 mark of the beast.
Google “Human RFID tagging” and educate yourself.
I agree, I often hanker for the horse and cart, motor vehicles have made robbery far too easy for the common criminal…
The latest looney conspiracy theory brought to you by…
The next step is actually to get all your credit cards, transport cards, membership cards etc onto your phone. Can’t happen quick enough.
Why on earth would they need to implant a chip in your hand? Your phone already knows where you are. Stupid idea.
Why not move to Macclesfield? :-p
Or somewhere nice in Lancashire?
