Which Credit cards are CONTACTLESS?

Options
Hey guys,

I just thought I would start a thread to list which credit cards have contactless technology. Living in london I find the use of contactless technology really useful as more and more shops are installing the equipment. Problem is some credit card companies don't produce the cards but some do, but there is no easy way of knowning who does and doesn't (the contactless website is out of date)

I wonder if we could list if we have contactless cards or not.

I know of the following which ARE contactless:

Capital one mastercard (elite, classic and progress)
Halifax credit cards (new accounts only that are on the lloyds system)
Barclaycard

Any others?

    American Express issue contactless on all new cards.

    MBNA/Virgin also do.

    Barclaycard Freedom Rewards (and Initial I had before it) and MBNA Platinum are my contactless credit cards.

    My Tesco, Capital One Aspire World, NatWest YourPoints, Nationwide Select, Halifax Clarity (HBOS version, not LTSB) and Aqua Reward are not.

    None of my debit cards are.

    Oddly enough, I have an Orange Cash prepaid card, which is contactless!
  • My Smile Visa is contactless.

    I got my first Lloyds system Halifax card a couple of weeks ago and it's not contactless.:(

    Contactless cards have the contactless symbol on them, like this:

    My card has a bigger chip too although I don't know if they're all like that.
