You’re wrong. I’ve spent significantly more than £250 using Apple Pay but not at Tesco. Tesco have their own £100 limit when using Apple/Google pay or contactless.
For goodness sake Tesco, sort your '[insert generic name] Pay' out.

You could have just removed one item to pay for everything else then just pay for the one item?
£100 is more that enough for contactless. Anything more and you are just asking to be mega down if you lose your card and someone finds and uses it.

It's becoming normal for a family shop to total over £100 now too with the state of the economy
lol you think? Weekly family shops over a ton are not a recent thing. Try 2 decades ago.

Ok, if thats your thought - im a service team manager for Tesco and the google pay limit (and apple pay) is £250 and £100 for contactless with card; we can split card payments but not apple/google pay.

Have you rubbed one out?
It’s not ‘my thought’. It’s not possible to pay more than £100 at Tesco using Apple Pay via a watch or phone.
I’m not lying, there are notices by the self service checkouts where this limit is shown.
If you do it using the Tesco Pay+ app, that’s a different matter but I’m not talking about that.

Again im sorry but you are wrong. Google pay and Apple pay limit in store in £250 and has been for about 18 months now. Any problems with payment is down to your card issuer and not the supermarket, who will happily accept payment. Its the same mis understanding about pin checks - its the bank asking for them not the supermarket. I suggest you contact your bank to find out why the transaction was declined.
Mine hasn’t worked for weeks and it used to. No issues elsewhere and American Express say they didn’t decline, it’s the contactless machine that declines it, it says contactless payment limit exceeded.

For goodness sake.
The checkouts have a note next to them saying there’s a £100 limit.
If your total is more than £100, you don’t even get the option to pay by Apple Pay or contactless.
It’s not a case of a transaction being denied, the checkouts won’t even allow that transaction to be attempted.
How is that so difficult to understand?
/edit - someone’s even posted a picture above showing that limit.

Oh dear - that `limit` is for contactless card payments, as is set by the government, not by the retailer (who, will happily take your money). You need to contact your card issuer to find out why the payment is being declined ; again the retailer wants your money. Apple pay and Google wallet payment limit is £250 in Tesco and £10000 in Sainsburys. Please contact your card issuer.
I think he is saying there is a bug preventing payments over £100 so they have a note at the till say in no payments over £100 if using Apple Pay.

Thinking about it - i would ask, does the card issuer have a mobile contactless transaction limit in place? Certain Barclaycard accounts do (for example)
Yet again.
The payment is NOT being declined. If the value on the till is above £100, the option to pay by Apple Pay is NOT offered.
How is this so difficult for you to understand? You keep talking about declined payments and to contact the card issuer but that’s totally and utterly irrelevant when the tills in Tesco do not allow one to use Apple/Google Pay when the transaction is more than £100.
The payment isn’t declined because it’s not offered.
I don’t know how many times I need to repeat this before you read what I’m writing.
To be honest is it that big of a deal when your card requires entering the pin? We used to faff about with waiting for paper to print, pen, signature, drop it on the floor, pick it back up, put in till yada yada. I fully expect my card to ask for pin from time to time. I think it does it after X number of transactions or when not used for X time or something like that. Whatever.

You need to contact your card issuer, you seem to think the supermarket doesnt want your money. Apple Pay and Google Wallet payment limit is £250 in store. The usual method to problem solve failed payments , is to exit the payment app then to reopen and re enter the security; double button press, face id, finger print etc. This will then usually solve the problem, as wallet apps do time out quickly, which is a user setting. The rest of the time is a card problem within the payment wallet. Please contact your card issuer.
