For goodness sake Tesco, sort your '[insert generic name] Pay' out.

Tesco must be one of the only places left who still have a limit on payments by Google/Apple Pay.

My bill came to £100.04 so just over their crazily arbitrary £100 limit for Google/Apple Pay.

/end rant.

Can't you just pay it in 2 parts

Checkout £50 worth & Pay it and then checkout the other £50.04 worth and pay it



Or is there a time limit or something so this wouldn't be possible to do

Thinking about it - i would ask, does the card issuer have a mobile contactless transaction limit in place? Certain Barclaycard accounts do (for example)

It does standard but but you can turn that off. Cause I'm with Barclays and paid £1400 to furniture village in one hit.

 

[Curlyriff]

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.

I have actually just been down to my local tesco after all this cause was interested. They have told me it's fine. £250 is their limit. You just pay via contactless payment at the till.

I don't know what you mean by not offered. You pick card and go to your apple pay or Google wallet and tap it against the contactless bit.

Annoyingly the fuel stations I use most still have their own £45 limit especially with current fuel prices it is a bit LOL.

Wasn't there a problem some years ago where a lot of people were filling up and then didn't have enough money in their bank account to pay for it..

Video of you paying over £100 on Apply Pay with a loaf of Hovis on your head or I don't believe you.

@Harlequin

Are you a bot or an automated Tesco support line?

You need to contact your card issuer,

The payment isn’t declined because it’s not offered.

It is nothing to do with the card issuer. If the total transaction at the till is greater than £100 then there is no option to pay by contactless (which I would expect) or by Apple Pay. There is an option to pay by card, one has to put the card in the machine and enter a PIN. This is fine, it works.

The whole reason for this is thread is to express my frustration that once the total value on the till is above £100 that Apple/Google Pay are not offered.

Why would I need to contact my card issuer when I haven't pushed a button to activate Apple Pay, I haven't selected a card and I haven't even got that far on the checkout?

The usual method to problem solve failed payments

What failed payment? Again, you are NOT reading what I've typed? I haven't attempted a payment, the till simply doesn't offer Apple/Google Pay for sums over £100.

If you come back again telling me to contact my card issuer, I'm going to assume you're trolling on purpose to get a reaction and even though I could suspend you for trolling, I'll hit the report button so someone else can look at it subjectively. There can be no other explanation for you saying this same thing over and over again.

Haha I didn't try it. I don't do £100 a month shopping ever so that's why had no idea. So I just asked the customer service desk. Its the large superstore in Banbury. I don't know if smaller stores have lower limits.

If you send me.thr £100 I'm all in though

 

[Deleted User 298457]

Was this self-checkout or with a human?

I don't recall ever selecting "Apple Pay" at a till.

You are saying if I send you £100 you'll take a video of you paying with Apple Pay with a Hovis loaf on your head?

Yep!

It's self checkout, from what I remember, there's a single option for contactless, it doesn't specify Apple Pay, that's all lumped under the same thing. Up until recently, the Apple Pay limit was either £40 or £45 but it was raised to £100. Tesco were slow to raise this limit compared to other retailers. It's the only place I've been to where the Apple Pay limit is the same as contactless, everywhere else I've used it, there's effectively no limit. It still surprises some shop workers who mistakenly think that there is a limit but I've used Apple Pay for purchases well over £1000 in the past.

We're doing the rest of our Christmas food shopping tomorrow, I doubt very much if we'll be going over £100 then but I'll take a shot of the checkout where it says what the limit is.

 

[Captain]

It depends what you use.

If you use the Tesco Pay+ app you can pay contactless for any amount and I’ve used Apple Pay for over £100 in my local Tesco.

OK but be sure to have a loaf of hovis on your head so we know it is you for sure

 

[Deleted User 298457]

Yep!

OK let me ask my wife if her boyfriend can lend me £100

 

[Delta3D]

lol you think? Weekly family shops over a ton are not a recent thing. Try 2 decades ago.

Managed as a family of 4 under 100 for years, it's not that common up North from experience and friends experiences.

 

[jaybee]

I'm now picturing FEEK checking out at a Tesco with shopping overflowing from the self checkout area, whilst he tries to juggle paying with loaves of Hovis in his hands, whilst also taking pictures of said episode, with a queue of people watching at peak time on a Saturday lunch time.

 

[Haggisman]

Our weekly shop for a family of 4 is around £60-70 depending on what we've run out of. £100 these days I can understand if you're getting a few luxury items on top, but 20 years ago?

How can it be so cheap

Guessing Just toiletries alone got cost £20 to £25 of that £60 to 70 for 4 people
So you be left with around £40 for food & drink for 4 people not counting needing other things like sugar, salt, Butter, Sauces, Coffee, Tea bags etc

Mate. It’s clearly some issue with your local store not a nation wide Tesco policy.

Does sound like the SCOs in this particular store are setup a bit wonky, not surprising considering some of the stuff I hear from our team that support them.
