How important is tap to pay with your debit card and / or credit card for you?

[notadumblonde]

I recently received my new debit card in the mail. The tap to pay feature doesn't work. Should I complain?

I never use any of that stuff. i send them a money order and pay it off in full every month.

[notadumblonde]

I was talking about paying off your balance owing. I meant when you go to pay for your groceries, do you tap or insert your card?

[exitseven]

I do not pay for mroceries with a credit card. Either cash or a personal check.

Thanks for the MHO

For being so responsible you deserve it

Most people your age think I am a crazy old coot. Actually I work in IT and see every day how unsecured these systems are. I try not to use any of them.

Is it supposed to work?

[notadumblonde]

Most cards come with tap to pay enabled by default.

"Most..."

[notadumblonde]

By most, I meant 99% of all cards

[itsannalee]

Isn’t that depends on the machine features in store?

[notadumblonde]

99% of all pin pad machines support tap to pay

[jahaims]

Nah, that's just in your area. Plenty of areas don't even know what tap to pay is if you ask.

I guess, some take both tap to pay or a chip reader, don't know why but I usually use the chip reader.

[Fireguy17]

I dont really care one way or another, I'm not in that big of a hurry.

[notadumblonde]

True. I did appreciate tap to pay during the pandemic.

[serious]

I always use the tap feature

U may need to active the card first

[notadumblonde]

Already did that

[jjj101010]

Speak to the bank then
