I can't fault them 14. I've always found them to be excellent.
Me also.I contacted them about a payment on Barclaycard for £50 plus pounds and within a matter of hours that amount of money had been replaced in my account an investigation instigated.
you can buy RFID covers - which I have found worked well
My wife and I have all bank cards as non-contactless by request which in every case was acceded to. However, both Barclaycard and American Express said they were unable to meet my request, all cards were contactless and no possibility of anything else. Then, when it came to expiry/renewal of one debit card the result was automatic supply of contactless. Disappointing. An assurance from the two credit cards that I could trust their anti-fraud policy and protection is not as good as a card that won't ever permit/generate this particular fraud. We don't have any use for contactless over non-contactless.
I've had my used fraudulently (cloned or however they did it) to make fraudulent transactions hundreds of miles away in places I'd never been on 3 occasions. Only once was it a contactless card and even then it was well over the limit (it was in a sports bar). So I'm not sure contactless are any more risky. And in every case I got the money back but it was a bit of hassle. Fortunately i check through my statements so would pick anything unrecognised up. Contactless has been very handy during Covid as I don't need to touch keypads and shops now seem to accept cards even for transactions under a £1 which is good as I don't carry cash now
