How utterly ridiculous that you need a Faraday cage round your credit card to stop nomad scanning scammers!
Last time our cards ran out we were sent contactless. After a few months of reading about the above we decided to go back to non-contactless. What a pucking falaver it was trying to change back. The local branch did not have the authority. I had to resort to threats on twatter before Barclays would even consider talking to me about it. If you try ringing your bank these days it is a generic number terminating in Mumbai, who tell you that your local branch doesn't have a phone so they have to email them and someone might ring you, maybe. Actually no they didn't. Hence the twatter campaign which worked a treat.
