I'll just add that I had £6.xx left of my overdraft limit.

You would have been able to spend £6.xx four times that day. Nothing after that or the next day .

I see. I thought they didn't check at all with the bank during a contactless payment until their systems poll at night or whenever.

They don't, but every 4th contactless transaction in a day you will need to use your PIN, it checks then.

First time I had used the card today.
