It was proven to be a legitimate transaction eventually..... It was for one "Mascot Matchday" experience and a finger buffet for two in the Springett Suite 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 The issue isn’t paying with contactless . with the exception of going to the pub (yes most take card but I prefer cash when I’m out as I know when I’ve spent too much !) or my Turkish barber I don’t use cash either . The issue at hillsborough is the half witted children employed to run the food outlets . Other clubs have pre poured drinks and are far quicker at serving . God knows why people would waste waste money there when there are several decent pubs near by and several decent chippies or sand which shops selling no better stuff at half the price .

Minton Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 If people are worried about contactless card skimming, use your phone to make contactless payments and leave the card at home. I'm sure it's been covered here already, but contactless is WAY quicker than cash. As a former pub manager, I've got first hand experience of the difference. It's amazing how long it takes to serve people when they all come with a 20 pound note and buy 2 drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal M Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Just to clarify - is the club only accepting contactless payments? Or can you still put your card into a reader at the till? Just looked at my cards, and none of them have the contactless symbol. Contactless isn’t that much of a thing over here. Not that I’m expecting to make a game anytime soon, but it’s nice to know. I move a lot of concrete on the QVC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITs a normal card machine and they have to have the pin option as sometimes can be declined if too many contactless transactions in the same day. Don’t see why you can’t use chip and pin.

From what hat I remember they look like this, so looks like a swipe spot may be there. If you have an iPhone on the other hand they accept Apple Pay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
