In the UK there is a limit of £100 on contactless transactions, but not so long ago it was £30. Any more than that you have to put your card in the card reader.

Those who are paranoid might prefer to have contactless payments disabled and use the card reader all the time. Contactless payment doesn't work on UK cards unless you enable it first.

This exactly the response most people come to expect from die-hard Apple fanboys. Emoticons with no substance. It's the online equivalent of when someone chuckles because they feel uncomfortable, nervous or don't know what to say next, particularly when you ask them "What exactly has Apple innovated recently?".

It’s the appropriate response for a patently ridiculous statement like claiming Apple’s phones are behind Android. Their performance, for many years now, has been two generations behind (as in, whenever the brand new, fastest Android phone comes out, it’s only catching up with last year’s iPhone).

I have two of them sitting right next to me right now. So yes, yes I have. Time will tell how reliable and well built they are...

Yep. But build quality wasn’t what you were talking about. You said Apple was “behind”, which is utter nonsense.

There is a contactless limit on Oz cards, but it is pretty high.

From memory, the last time I went over it, I was buying a battery lawnmower.
I still used the contactless method, but had to enter my PIN as well.

I keep going in shops in the UK to spend maybe 80 pounds. I waft my Barclays debit card over the reader, and it says the payment is rejected because the limit for contactless payments is 100 pounds. I push the card into the slot and complete the transaction. I haven't done anything about this, because I can still pay without problems.

Bud:
You better keep it that way. If you lose your card and someone finds it they can use it but the damage will be limited to the per transaction and cumulative limits set on the account. This is the risk banks are willing to take for contactless payments trying to balance customer convenience and loss caused by lost and stolen cards. For amounts exceeding the contactless limit people have to enter their PINs which only they know.
