I’m pretty sure this is an issue with the prepay cards but I also tried my new Current account card tonight at the self serve pump at Morrisons.
It thought for a while and then told me I’d have to use the kiosk.
Ended up using my backup debit card for quickness.
I thought this issue would have gone as I had assumed Morrison’s fuel stations just didn’t like the Prepay nature of the card?
Also, is this the right place to report this?!
I’ve not checked with my current account card but contactless never worked in store with my prepay Monzo card either - only with chip and pin.
I may be wrong, but I beleive the current account still can’t be used at pay at pump, I beleive this will be fixed with a new debit card once the current account has launched. I could be wrong though.
I know that Asda accept it but I find myself having to make detours at 3am to find an Asda to fill up.
My local pay at pump which is literally around the corner from me is Morrisons, I tried this morning and unfortunately it still doesn’t work there. I tried Tesco last week and had no luck either.
I’m just curious as to how Asda managed to update their pumps so quickly to accept the card but the others seem to be lagging very slowly behind?
I just experienced this at Morrisons Pay at Pump. I went inside to pay and the attendant was telling me that they often have trouble with RBS/Natwest cards but this was the first time he’d seen an issue with Monzo.
I might have been the first one to try Monzo on his shift though.
It is only current account cards that work at pay at pump.
Prepaid cards won’t work as the pumps only authorise £1 as an active card check and then bill the amount later (usually within 12 hours with Monzo, 3-4 days with a legacy).
Still only having success with my card at Asda, I tried Morrisons again this morning with no joy. Tesco is also still off the cards as my friend tried this afternoon.
Strange. I know the US is Visa only and Canada is MasterCard only. I could have swore it was Amex only here… Strange. Maybe that’s only for credit? But that would violate honour all cards, right?
They certainly accept Amex credit cards in the UK, as I use mine (yes, it’s a credit card not a charge card). In the US they only accept Visa, but again that’s a credit card. I have to use a US-issued Visa (no Amex, though they used to) at Costco when I’m on holiday in the US as I don’t have a UK issued one without a foreign transaction fee. Again, a credit card.
This exclusivity might not apply to debit cards? Fair, but how does that work with ‘honour all cards’? I thought Visa/MC didn’t let you take only debit?
