If you use a card, yes. If you use Google Pay, Apple Pay, etc then you're not limited to £100.
I always have my cards with me but I forget the last time I actually used one.
People that pay by phone and don’t have cards on them.

Today I learned something! Thanks chaps. I don't use my phone, prefer to use my card, does that make me a luddite?

I always carry cash, for exactly this issue. I also have cards. I don't see apple/Google pay solves any problem I have.
It just seems the most sensible thing to do.

I mean, I'm sure the car will prove a lot more difficult to be damaged to the extent that someone can steal my wallet, than myself
It will also make a lot more noise..
Also, I am carrying my phone so any transactions I will see immediately, that is if they don't have to be approved via the bank app.. That is on my phone.. Which I am carrying..
sounds like a right plank trying to show off that he has an apple watch
real men get the chip from their card implanted under the skin at their forehead and bow to pay the bill

Im pretty much the same (carry cash and cards normally) except I went out last Friday and realised I forgot my wallet whilst in a shop, luckily I have payments enabled on my phone which I dont normally use so it was a handy to have
Might as well go full redundancy and bring 100 camels with you. Just in case.
I still use my physical card most of the time. Have a couple. Of cards which originally didn't work with Google wallet. They may do now. But just haven't added to it in ages.

No, the specific issue this morning was contactless - chip and pin still worked.
Knew this was a Cheesefest thread just from the title
I'm one of those "stupid" people who usually use their phone to pay for things - one less thing to carry/lose, and much quicker to tap my phone than fiddle around in my wallet finding the right card, and then fiddling around to put it back away again.
If the contactless system goes down I'll just go somewhere else ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I knew who the OP was after the first few words in the thread title.
As a lot of people do in 2022, why take a card when it's very rarely needed. If the system goes down then will just mean you can't buy anything that morning - hardly the end of the world.
I often go out without my wallet and buy stuff on my phone as....

OP, do you carry enough cash on you at all times to purchase any goods you wish to acquire? Or if all card payments were down, you'd be stuck?
