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

I used contactless in Tesco in Edinburgh today, first time I've seen it enabled in there.

Has the greyed out option only just become available at your local store? I ask because Tesco say on Twitter that all stores now have up to date software and its just a case of rolling out the hardware.

1. I hadn't noticed it before.
2. I hadn't looked for it before.
3. I usually spend more than £30 at Tesco Batley, last week was an exception.
4. I've been using Morrisons, Lidl and Aldi for TSB cashback.

Doesn't help much, sorry.

The one on junction street at the bottom of Leith Walk.

I've used the Tesco (Toton) and Tesco (Mickleover) stores for the last three-four years and the contactless option has been present (but disabled).

Seeing as the Edinburgh Tesco mentioned above is a Tesco Express (?) I would imagine they are focusing on the smaller branches first.

You'll know when contactless is possibly on it's way as Tesco use the Igenico IPP350 terminal (you'll have likely seen them in Morrison's and Sainsbury's as well as Asda).

My local Tesco superstore hasn't got contactless yet but the small Tesco local has just got it within the last couple of weeks.

If you're talking about the Tesco I mentioned it's not an express, it's a big store.

My apologies-I used Tesco's store locator and it came up as a Tesco Express!

Good to see one of the larger stores is now contactless.

Thanks gunsandbanjos. This was the store I was referring to in earlier an earlier post in this thread so not another to Edinburgh list!

20aday - there is an Express on Great Junction Street; the superstore at the bottom of Leith Walk is actually on Duke Street but it's very close to Great Junction Street.

If it's of any help, the small Tesco stores (Metro and Express) often sell Tesco gift cards that can be loaded with any amount up to £200 and spent in any Tesco store including petrol stations.

I have been buying 3x £30 and 1x £10 gift card, put through as separate transactions, in the local Tesco Metro each month. I can then pay with contactless and earn the £5 TSB cashback, just using the gift cards to do my normal shopping in the nearby Tesco Extra who still haven't got contactless terminals fitted.
