I've been trying to get my wife to ditch her dying phone for months now. Some woman just paid for her crumpets and deodorant at the supermarket cause the NFC didn't work so she couldn't pay. Why she didn't carry her physical card with her if she knows the the phones iffy is beyond me. Thank you to the kind lady, but im dying of second hand embarrassment.
my partner is sort of doing the opposite. she has a phone with working NFC but carries her card around with her in the phone case because apparently it takes too long to add the card to google pay......
I carry my wallet with me just in case, even though I use the NFC on it.
At least she can pay haha
