Just seen on the BBC website that they are thinking about raising the contactless card payment limit from £45 to £100. It seems that COVID has seen a massive increase in the use of contactless payment. I tend to use it whenever I can but I imagine not all are so keen?

Posted on 28/01/2021 12:20 by DavidKlyneI have to keep checking that the £70 in notes I have had in my wallet for the past 9 months haven't started to rot!! Even parking I now use my contactless card. I don't suppose we will see the demise of cash anytime soon but the pandemic will no doubt have seen a massive decrease in the amount of cash used which will probably continue when it's all over. Perhaps the Club will need to reassess the use of cash in Receptions?

RE. your last sentence DK. I really hope they do. As well as the risk involved in the counting, cleaning and disinfection of cash last summer it was so time consuming. Then there's the banking run and queueing in a barely social distanced bank for around 45 minutes. Far easier for proplr to leave all that folding under the mattress and get the card out
