Which Credit cards are CONTACTLESS?

in Credit cards
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produce the cards but some do, but there is no easy way of knowning who does and doesn't (the contactless website is out of date)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?

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