Dunno about Tescos but my Sainsburys just got Contactless/Android Pay.

Brilliant. Why use money?

because you spent more than 30 quid


I spent over £80 yesterday (Android Pay) and it was fine.
I'm not sure if that works everywhere. But it does Sainsburys & M&S.


Many people claim that there is a £20 or £30 limit on contactless.
There is not a blanket limit : it depends on how the contactless reader
works.


It's £30 for contactless debit and credit cards.


the vendor might have a lower "floor limit". Another thing about
contactless cards, they often ask for your PIN, just to prove its in the
right hands.
