I own a OnePulse credit card from Barclays that is contactless. If I feel I was charged incorrectly (e.g. I didn't buy anything) I can call Barclays and the will give me my money back no questions asked. If I go and I abuse it by asking for too many refunds they will cancel my card, simple as that. So I am not worried about it at all.
Also daily limit on purchases is £15 if I remember correctly.

What danger do you see in that?


Also if you have not done a PIN transaction thne you can only make 10 purchases before you are forced to validate it via putting in a PIN - so stoppin someone making hundreds of purchases

What do you normally do? This is most suited for you I would say. Instead of using pin 10x you only need it 1 in 10x.
Surely a good thing, no?

I use chip and signature. There are no PINs

My boggo Natwest Visa debit card goes on alert after just 1 non-PIN transaction and the other day it stopped after less than 5 transactions post non-PIN. So that's hardly a revolutionary feature.
