I’m getting in the habit of not carrying cash much now. There’s several benefits to this. For starters, everywhere I go there’s the “tap to pay” machines and I tend to use my phone. Also, there’s the added benefit of using the, “Oh lads, can you get the first round in, I’ve got no cash on me”-line when I head to the pub.
If you’re a regular in Tesco, you may have used their PayQwiq system. This is basically an app where you whack in your Tesco Clubcard account details, then – after creating a PIN, you add your debit card or credit card details in and pay for purchases using a simple on-screen code on your phone. No signal? No wallet? No clever “tappy tappy NFC” in your phone? No problem.
Now it’s changing to become “Tesco Pay+” and is growing in popularity. Since its rollout earlier this year the app has amassed over a quarter of a million users.
You’ll automatically collect Clubcard points with a single swipe and you can pay for up to £250-worth of shopping using the app, which can be downloaded here. You can also add multiple payment cards.
Customers using Tesco Pay+ will, until January 14th 2018, collect an extra Clubcard point for every £4 spent in store. It should make the checkout experience faster and simpler.
