Card payment on mc
 

Can anyone tell what I should see on a portable card payment m/c reason I am asking. Local barber charged me £13 for my cut, have ever checking bank it was charged at 13p before anyone asks I went back and paid it to him. Because it , I guess could have gone the other way I wonder what the screen should look like., guessing it should be 13.00 :confused:

It should show £13.00, I guess he entered it in wrong, well done on going back to pay him.

Yep, I would guess he forgot to type the two zero's in, so insteal of 13.00, he charged you 00.13

I am sure you are correct , I never really look at what is typed in must look more closely in future. think i saw 13 must look for full stop :rolleyes:

With you not looking what is typed! Imagine chaos if it said £13000 and you clicked pay.

I had an AMEX for a while, but found it a bit useless as so many places didnt take them.
In the end it finished up just being on my Paypal account, until I got around to dumping it.

We have BA Amex cards, which we use for Avios points (airmiles, 1.5 points for ever £1 spend), and we also get free Companion tickets (you just pay taxes, no fares) after a certain annual spend.

We also have a Barclaycard Avios card (for when places don’t take Amex) where we get 1 point for every £1 spend.

Very true:erm:

Re: card payment on mc
 

I have alerts on my phone linked to our bank account and Amex card, so any spend/deposits/payments are notified - I think if I got a notification for £13k, I might dash back to the establishment to "resolve the issue"... :D

NatWest had in-app approvals of any payment once upon a time. I've just checked and that feature has been withdrawn.

Re: Card payment on mc
 

Just checked my NatWest app, it does notify me when spending or receiving money but I don't think I've ever had to approve something like getting money out from a cash point, maybe I never had that option on.

The website still suggests it's a feature but as I put everything on Credit Card I can't remember using it.

Edit - my app says I've registered for biometric approval, it's face biometric and I remember setting it up recently but this isn't triggered by normal purchases, I remember using it the first time I setup the EVERUP giftcard app though.
