    I don't have a pay wave card but notice that with big w and a few other shops forgot which ones, you spend under 30 and you don't need a pin or signature!

    The transaction just goes through and this isn't with a pay wave swiper thing

    I was quite shocked when that happened but then got use to it, although do question how secure it is.

    I use paypass & quite like it. I haven't had any sales people/ shop assistants automatically assume, most times the opposite b/c have a chip card, so they go to automatically insert it - either way I don't mind but given what others have said about the three day clearance and living week to week, I can understand the reason to opt out or not want to use it.

    I don't use my VISA debit b/c I have a VISA credit card but I know my sister will be happy now - thanks for the information

    Dan Murphys also do it, i've had many of my customers get really cranky at me for it.
