places to put a paytag?

This would just be a winter thing, but get a ski jacket that has the pocket for the ski pass in the arm. You can just wave your arm next to the reader then and it should work!

Agreed, I put mine in the shredder, best place for it

Lol I ended up putting a screen protector on the back of my iPhone and then sticking it to that, it looks a bit rubbish but have used it a few times.

I thought about sticking it to a card in my wallet but that defeats the point of it.

Love the wizard idea, you'll have to do a video and put it on YouTube.

Bad idea, do not do this. Or at least, not until you've rang Barclays and told them to deactivate it!

I don't see what the problem would be. After all, they claim this stuff is more secure than ever. The banks wouldn't lie to us would they?

But surely, you would have told them "Not interested" before they even posted it out.

Of course, that's what I actually did. I'm mischievous, not reckless ;-) My statement was more of a figure of speech and less of a call to action!

Perfect - then if you get stranded naked in the middle of the desert, you can buy up to £20 worth of Big Macs!

If stolen there is a max limit before you need to get your card out and enter your PIN. Clearly not something the thief could do.
So the max loss is quite small.

Make a magic wand using a piece of dowel, and some black and white paint.

Attach pay tag to the end, then dress as a wizard when shopping.

There's a snazzier way of doing it than just attaching the paytag to the end of the wand ...

Quite embarassing for a friend as well, as he tried to pay with paytag attached to the back of his phone and the cashier said the transaction had been declined! So had to get card out of his wallet and use that. Paytag has since been destroyed and he just uses the card now.

His thinking was, "I'm in a queue of people, if theres a chance it'll ask for my card anyway, I might as well just use that rather than holding the queue up and feeling guilty about it.".

On the sole of your shoe?

Of course, this will mean you will need to be quite adept at "goose-stepping" when you make purchases.
