Forestchook Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm curious, what do omleteers think of contactless card technology. I'm guessing (hoping) they have improved security since they were first brought out I have my doubts. Any thoughts? N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janepie33 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I've only managed to use my contactless card twice - once in M&S and once in Cafe Nero. Quite liked the idea I didn't have to put in my pin, but slightly anxious that I might accidentally brush against a machine and buy lots of goods I hadn't intended to buy!

charly1979 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 After seeing the reports where people were getting details from peoples cards when they were in handbags I steer well clear think I have one but wouldnt know how to use it ??? I would like to think that they have improved security but with everything I assume as soon as they do a new loop hole is found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forestchook Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Quite liked the idea I didn't have to put in my pin That's one bit I did not like the sound of. Or rather I didn't like the idea that if someone did manage to get hold of my card they could use it without putting the pin in (albeit only for £20 at a time). After seeing the reports where people were getting details from peoples cards when they were in handbags ... That concerned me too. Although the articles I found were around a year old, I have not come across any info that indicates they have fixed this problem. Since I am quite happy using cash for small purchases, and have no interest in making 'contactless' payments the card has more cons than pros from my point of view.
