Stores that DON'T accept contactless payments - name and shame!

TSB do, indeed, show 'pending' payments immediately online and they also show whether they were contactless or CnP (though the latter detail disappears when the transactions move from 'pending' to the main statement a day or so later.

That doesn't work for me. My contactless transactions have failed to show in pending transactions at all. The first I see of them is when they are added to my main statement. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I've never used my card during standard banking hours.

I used Apple Pay in Boots today and anything over £30 requires Chip and PIN to complete the transaction (despite it being reported Boots would be "limitless" from November 2015).

However my local Tesco Metro in Derby now supports contactless/Apple Pay.

From reading this thread there are those of us whom like contactless, those who aren't bothered either way and those whom are concerned around the security of it all BUT because of the current Santander 123 promotion I've earned the additional (capped) £3 bonus this last month so for me it's been worth it.

In future I recommend not handing your card over.

There appears to be progress at Tesco. A further two of my local(ish) stores now have contactless capable terminals and one of them had contactless enabled. Looks like this is the case across the country if Twitter posts are anything to go by.

Morrison includes the petrol station where I live in Sussex, also can use my card in the post office, and the coop here, Iceland has just started to install the systems here.

And if you want to put a high value Morrisons fuel purchase towards your TSB 5% spending, purchase Morrisons gift vouchers first. They might only be available in store.

I don't know if it's a seasonal thing, but Morrisons have £20 Amazon gift cards at the moment. This means you can make 5 x £20 purchases, getting 2p/litre fuel vouchers each time.

Last time I was there, they only had £25 cards, meaning 4 x £25 purchases, still only getting 2p/litre vouchers each time (as they're rounded down to the nearest penny).

My local got the new terminals recently and went live with contactless this week.

From what I can gather it looks like Tesco are installing new terminals at Tesco Metro (possibly Express stores also) as the one near me in Derby went contactless the other week.

I'm guessing it's because these stores must have more footfall on a daily basis compared to their larger stores.

I was talking about paying for your fuel using Morrisons vouchers, but this is a great tip so why not do both (if you need vouchers for Amazon or elsewhere that is). Money off fuel and 5% back on your fuel and gift voucher spend!

I nearly bought the same Amazon £25 vouchers but fortunately realised this would only get 2p in fuel vouchers before I paid. My local store has packs of 3x£10 vouchers which I have purchased.

Edit: Just realised this isn't the TSB cashback thread :doh: so the purchasing of Morrisons vouchers will be a futile exercise for a lot of people reading.
