    None of the Tesco's near me offer contactless payment.

    Viz top tip:

    Move house. It'll save you a fiver a month.

    Almost as helpfully, I *believe* my local Tesco brought in contactless when they did a major refurbishment a couple of years back. Could be linked to that?

    I noticed yesterday that Wetherspoons takes contactless. Progress at last, for those of us who drink in the cheap end of life's pond.

    Did anyone else get less than £5 for the month May contractless spending, (given in June)?

    Yes, but it was 5% of what I spent.

    I don't understand this whole thread. It can only be maximised up to a spend of £100 per month. Personally, I use my card contactless in Tesco twice and that's my 100 quid done. Why would I want to mess about buying vouchers?

    You are lucky to have a Tesco that takes contactless cards. Lots of us struggle to spend £100 using contactless because in most parts of the country the majority of supermarkets and garages don't yet accept contactless, hence this discussion.

    I have only used cash + contactless card because it is easy for the cashier...
    Asking for split payments will NEVER be easier for the cashier.

    ...the till at Tesco`s and Morrisons...
    You've also used a back-tick instead of an apostrophe. Try looking naer the RETURN key... specifically the '@' key.

    I put my shopping in different trolleys and pay for them separately. Never asked to split payments and never been challenged. The only time I come unstuck is when the card decides to ask for pin and chip. But usually lots of time left in the month.

    £30 limit for contactless so 4x

    Some have more than one card/ account.

    I think 6 for a couple 2 each 2 joint when launched.

    £600 spend needed.

    Edit. IF anybody has problems gaining their 5% cashback can they post me their card and pin number. (joke)

    diy project!

    Buy b&q vouchers at morries say £100 contactlessly = 5% cash back 10p off a litre at morries pump and shop at b&q with the vouchers. Gain morries more points for fuel take an oap with a oap card on wednesday another 10% off B&Q.
