Limit On Contactless Credit Card

[rsvp]

Have tried googling but can't get an answer.
I've been sent a contactless credit card and I understand that I can spend up to £30 just by putting it in or near a card reader with a particular sign displayed.
What happens if I want to spend more than that in one transaction? Do I then have to enter my pin. Apols if this is a really stupid question.

Yes, then PIN needed.

Thank you mamyalynne - felt a bit silly asking but just couldn't find the answer on line. AB to the rescue again! stay well

Not all retail outlets have reset their limits to £30 so it may vary.

[rsvp]

Honestly don't think I'll use it much but thank you for the info.

[Mamyalynne]

Never used mine either, welcome.

There is another thread running on this theme. If it is a debit card there is a limit to the number of transactions you can make before the PIN is required. I don't know if this applies to credit cards.
