Well it must be true if you read it in the Daily Mail

However - what the hell do they expect- if you lose your card someone can go round town making lots of small purchases

My OH refuses contactless cards - not popular with the card companies

In my defence, I don't usually read the Daily Wail.
Someone sent me a link about another issue....this caught my eye as well.
Honest!.......(Would I lie to you?).

When my new debit card was due recently I asked for one without contactless !
Glad I did now.

I am such a disappointment to her :-)

I won't use contlactless either ... I'd rather get my money out at a cash machine and pay the old fashioned way

Mine was stolen.

(I haven't reported it though; the thief is spending less than my OH was! )

Well, my bank does not trust me for another few years to have contactless card(they do on the credit card but then again they want me to spend spend spend!!).

Now the more rational response: here's a different article that puts the Mail article into perspective: https://www.finextra.com/blogposting...is-on-the-rise
