Has anyone got a NON CONTACTLESS credit card? Who is it with please?

[KangaMummy]

Really do not want a contactless credit card but our new ones arrived today and they are contactless

Can't find any online that are non contactless CREDIT cards

Please help

I have one with Sainsbury’s

Can you not contact your card company and ask for a non-contactless one?

I don't and I have epilepsy so it's a real risk for me having contactless at all (it's not controlled). The best I've been able to do is get an alert set up if contactless is ever used because it will be fraud as I refuse to use it. I was told to begin with to move with times and stop being old fashioned I explained and they agreed to put the alert on.

Having said that, I'd be interested if others don't have it!

I have a non contact less debit card with first direct.

My Santander card doesn’t but I think that might just be because it’s not expired yet

Contact your bank / card provider, they should be able to order a new card with the contactless feature removed. It can be done,but youbmay need to escalate your request or complain if they say no.

I asked HSBC for a contactless debit card. When a replacement credit card (new expiry date) arrived a few months later it was also contactless, so I assume my request is on file and applies to all cards.

Oh didn't think about supermarkets

Thank you

SOrry for being thick but how does contactless affect epilepsy?

I didn't need to give a reason BTW.

Aqua. You wouldn't want it, OP, it's a credit card for people rebuilding their histories and the interest is a killer.

You may have seen this already, it's from November 2016 and lists which providers do and don't let you opt out of contactless. It may be out of date now though.

My sister received a contactless replacement from Santander and took it into the branch to complain and managed to get a non-contactless. Mind you, she has been with them eons and has a lot of money there. So they might have been inclined to pander to her.
The DC have Natwest 11-18yrs accounts and they don't have contactless, much to dd's chagrin.

Vanquis and aqua.

Surely you can just ask for the contactless to be turned off, like you can with a debit card?

My DH rang them (we have joint cards) to ask for non contactless after it arrived from NATWEST

They told him he couldn't have one as they were all contactless and were quite rude about it

So we want to change to new credit cards

NatWest issue them. They sent me a non contactless card when I joined my husbands account this year and I had to ask them to send me a contactless instead (great for on the bus).

gruffalo because I lose consiousness a lot, including when out, and people can and have taken and used my contactless cards. The time limit and other safety features aren't necessarily true. I found out the hard way. Particularly as if I have. A seizure in public it can mean being taken to hospital for several hours and not being well enough to check I still have my credit/debit cards.

I'll look into those being mentioned as well!

Oh just saw your post before me OP. I asked for a card change in branch, maybe you could ask again in the same way?

Ah becca, I didn’t even think about that. I thought maybe the tech itself was the issue for your epilepsy. God people are bastards.

It's ok, the sort of thing you don't think about until it happens to you. I'd don't think about it either and should have!

Mines JL partnership card- contactless ATM, but I'm not due a replacement for a while. Worth ringing them (and they give cashback , well vouchers, on jL, waitrose and Ocado spending)

😒

John Lewis credit card isn't contactless
