Amazing - i remember the 'Visa Digital Olympics in London - i think the contactless limit was about £15 and the cost of a fast food meal was £13.... so only use it if you are a sad and lonely person..... I guess this one is better on limits, but if you have to have your phone to operate it/check balance/top up etc.... doesnt that defeat the object?
