Paying for petrol yesterday I was shocked to see my debit card would not scan. I had another card so paid on that.
Got home intending to phone them & see what was wrong but DH informed me that it is happening a lot. The reason is that we use a lot of these devices that just scan your card. The banks have therefore installed a new fail safe & your card will only scan without your pin on 2 or 3 occasions ( he could not remember which) so if it is stolen they can only get limited amount of money out.
I thought I'd pass it on as it did worry me to find I could not pay. I could have asked to put it in machine & use my pin no. if I had known.
