Quick question about 'Quickpay' kiosks

TheChillPill

I'm waiting for a new pin number for my card, so the usual Chip and Pin keypads are not an option just yet - does anyone know if the kiosks ask for your pin number if you use them?

Yes you have to place your card in the reader and enter your PIN number to identify you as the holder of the card else anyone could use the card to obtain goods.....freddy

Thought that might be the case, thanks for clarifying.

if your card is chip and sig then you can still go through the tills. if however it is chip and pin and you arewaiting on your pin, your card will be declined, and you will be asked for another method of payment

Do people find that these machines are broken more often than not??

The ones at my local store never seem to be working!!

Yes I have seen many not in use, also be careful as I went to pay for a reserved item and the price came up at £9,999.99p good job I checked before putting my pin number in.

They are an absoloute pain in the !!!!!!.

They think theyve run out of paper when they haven't, i know the one at my store is out most of the time.

The tech people we use aswell are crap they couldn't diagnose a fault if it slapped them in the face.

That coupled with the fact your standard customer hasn't a clue how to use it doesn't help .... you wouldnt believe how many people expect it to work like an atm machine and just stick the card straight in without asking.

Can't tell they run on Windows can you?

Another thing to watch out for on these things or at least it was last time I used one is that it prints the entire number of your credit/debit card on the receipt

Yes it types all the credit card number on the receipt that is kept in the store for their records. It doesnt put all the number on your receipt
