RT @jk a lot of bad things that happen in the world have been prevented, or at least mitigated, by the fact that they have to actually be implemented by people, and achieving anything meaningful, good or bad, is hard work, at least organizationally, because it requires some degree of cooperation and agreement, coerced or incentivized or otherwise. but what if those costs just went down, to basically nothing?

I haven't used my physical chip-and-pin card since covid started. It's been so long I've forgotten the PIN! I'm very happy contactless worked for a big transaction. I may continue avoiding calling my bank indefinitely.

I've managed to pay £500 with contactless payment (via iPhone). I'm surprised. Was that a fluke? Have banks raised contactless limit so high? Was the limit only for physical cards?
