My Sainsbury's credit card is, annoyingly, non-contactless.
Fortunately most card companies are rolling them out across their fleet so this shouldn't be an issue for much longer
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

You can actually just call the relevant institution up to have contactless disabled, ive done this for all my debit cards.0

What are you concerned about ?0 -
Some cards that are issued my NewDay like Burtons and Outfit are non contactless.0

OP when you say 'pre-authorised' I assume you meant you were able to make a contactless payment without having to use your PIN first, which is normal for new and replacement credit and debit cards?It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.0

Maybe he doesn't want to be this
I don't want to walk around carrying RFID tags.
Unfortunately all of us are expected to put up with what the majority of sheeple will accept without question. 0 -

They contain information which uniquely identifies the card and so in most cases the carrier which can be read by rf transmission. It quacks like a duck....
They can be read from several feet away like RFID tags. Equipment similar to the anti-theft RFID readers used in shop doorways could easily read contactless cards going in and out (unless you take measures to shield them). All the sheeple are effectively walking round with one of those yellow tags in their pockets/bags.0
