Sounds good to me.  It's a lot quicker to tap a contactless card than messing about with a stupid app on a mobile phone.

Contactless only works for less that £100, and every now and then it randomly asks you to use chip and pin even at less than £100.
Plus you have to get the card out from wherever you keep it and put it back again.
Paying by phone does not have these issues.

I use both methods, and overall they are both convenient, and take about the same time.

I've decided to make it more complicated by buying Tesco gift cards at Airtime for 4% cashback refunded against my PAYM phone bill. Just means finding another QR code on my phone at the checkout, but the best cashback rate I can find.

I have a real physical gift card in my wallet.  It just needs the barcode waved over the till.

I made the mistake once of ordering an e-gift card.  What a pain that was.  Whenever I wanted to pay for something, I had to get out the phone, unlock it with the PIN, open the Google Wallet, then scroll down to the Tesco gift card.  A bit of cardboard with the barcode on the back is so much easier.

I only get 3% discount

Get your point, I've not yet actually shopped with my eGift card - if it's a real PITA or decides not to work then it won't be pursued.
