Has anyone and reservations about Contactless Payments?
Barclaycard have advised me that they are replacing my Gold Card with a Platinum Card.
They state there is an advantage of “Contactless Payments”
“Quote”: Your new card contains contactless payment technology – simply; hold your card close to the contactless reader to pay for items of £10 or under quickly and securely at participating retailers such as Boots and Pret A Manager. For security, you will occasionally be asked for your PIN. Contactless payments are covered by the same fraud monitoring as your Chip and PIN payments “Unquote”

I have until 14 September to contact them to refuse the new card.
I wouldn't want to think that someone was walking around the high street with a reader hidden in their pocket stripping money from these cards at random?
