woolworths now accepting visa debit again

[~clover~]

You could use saving yes... as long as you weren't a douche like me & did all your shopping, used up your cash (savings) limit for the day, then tried to do your food shopping at woolworths. With no credit option I was screwed. 3 hours from home & the cash limit is for the card, not just your savings account (couldn't transfer the money into my other account I have under cheque).

Mine is Mastercard debit though. Not Visa.

I heard a little while ago that because so many customers complained and stopped shopping at woolworths that they were going to allow the credit option again. I work at Dan Murphys and would cop so much abuse, or people who just didn't understand they couldn't select credit which would send me bonkers!! they would keep pressing credit and say over and over "but i want to pay on credit"

Now all they need to do is bring in the tap and go option and it'll be sweet.

Huh. Unfortunately for them, in the two years since they did it, I've become completely accustomed to not shopping there. (between that and their mass poke ownership) So I'm gone for good.

I'll write anyway.

Just on another note, I *hate* pay wave and the shop assistants etc that think you should have to use it. Particularly the asshats at drive thru maccas etc who take your card and then assume its ok. After a few nasty letters they now hand me the eft machine!

Awesome!!! This gave me the poops big time, we have unlimited free credit transactions and very limited savings. WIN

I've not felt comfortable with the paywave since it was done the first time at a macca's drive through. No PIN, signature, nothing. Whats the point in having the security of a PIN number if you're just going to hand your cash over anyway? It is a $100 limit, but thats not very reassuring for me!
I have used it. The first time I did it myself it was an accident. The other 2 or 3 times I planned to use the credit option anyway & it was just convenient. But I really don't like that someone out there could take my card & spend an unlimited amount of $99 a time of my money.

Thankfully, there's never $99 in mine to start with! Don't bother with my paywave, you'd strike out But it is linked to my main account.
