I presume it uses RFI technology....  Thumbs:

I can#'t wait 'til they have RFI in place of bar codes... would mean that you just throw everything into your trolley, take it to the checkout and the detector knows exactly what you've bought - no unloading everything onto the checkout desk to be scanned and then back into the trolley....

Not sure you'd want it on a debit car tho - I'd suggest you keep it wrapped in tin foil when not in use...  whistle:

I'll try to explain

You buy summat for £20 or less, you put the card on the machine and the transaction goes through.  No PIN number entered for some peeking bastard with a photo memory to remember (or using mini cam to capture)  So if you get robbed later they don't have your PIN number for emptying your bank account.  And it's heaps quicker.

So if someone nicks your card and spends less than a score he doesn't need your pin number.......... rubschin:

I don't know, they are not gong to give away all their secrets

All I know is they are saying  (http://www.barclaycard.co.uk/personal/getting-more/contactless) you are 100% protected against fraudulant use so there must be safeguards.  Too quick a repeat use would be a simple one so would insisting CCTV cover where they are used.

But they work well and you don't have that "is someone clocking my PIN" issue so I like them
