Visa flopping ffs

Housey · 1 Jun 2018 at 18:43

I made a payment today via telephone and wondered why they said it would take 2 days to process. Guess I know why now and know why it wasn't showing in my pending payments.

Amex + visa for the win

Is your carrier pigeon sending those £20 notes lost or something?

Yea yea, I've worked it out, I am just trying to inject a little light hearted banter into the debate.

Cash isn't impractical either, its just easier with a card, less hassle and surprise surprise, I get that too.

You suck at banter

Coins are easier for them to swallow surely?

I tried to pay for my shopping several times this afternoon by Visa - in the end I had to go home empty handed.

Explains why Morrisons were only taking cash this afternoon.

Luckily I have a MasterCard and a VISA.

I often only carry my phone on me these days for payments, I had to use NatWest emergency cash via the app to be able to pay for my goods at the supermarket!

Is Google Pay contactless that's linked to a VISA card working for people?

Yas786 · 1 Jun 2018 at 19:26

Meh been using my visa debit card all day today without any issues. Mind you not sure if it has anything to do with it being on Apple Pay.

But it’s been perfectly fine and all my transactions have gone through.

Used a contactless visa at ~4pm no problem, didn't know about the issue until just saw this thread

I got turned away at KFC at 4:45, determine to get my fried chicken I’m back with cash. I should’ve paid with my AMEX tbh.

Cash is king. I always have a bung in my wallet. Try having an excuse for not paying for fuel in a remote Scottish garage at midnight.

Wicker Man style.

I used a Barclaycard via Apple Pay at around half 4 earlier, didn’t even realise their was an issue till I got home.

My groundsman couldn't even afford a single can of caviar for that kind of money.
