Not sure if this is the right place - but did anyone have a problem with credit/debit cards today? How did you get over it?

    Lots of shoppers did - it affected Sainsburys and Waitrose. Cashpoints at stores were working and this was the suggested fix for those without Mastercard.

    Yes it affected us too at Asda and at Trafford Centre.
    Finally managed to use ours at Morrisons tonight about twenty minutes ago.
