Is there a name on your receipt or bill?Does anybody know the phone number for the Pilgrim shop in Tricastella in Spain? I was charged twice for the same item. I bought a pair of shoes which cost 29.99. I was asked to tap my card twice as she obviously pretended that the transaction did not go through the first time when it did.it As I tapped my card onto the machine for the second time, I was charged again to the amount of 60.00 euro. It i was insanely dishonest.
Or might it have been a simple honest mistake on her part and wasn't insane at all?I was asked to tap my card twice as she obviously pretended that the transaction did not go through the first time when it did.it As I tapped my card onto the machine for the second time, I was charged again to the amount of 60.00 euro.

If that happened to me I would immediately report all pertinent details to my card issuer, and request the second charge be denied / reversed. It is important to keep accurate, detailed records, including e.g. dates and times, of the transactions and the request to the card issuer to reverse the duplicate transaction.Does anybody know the phone number for the Pilgrim shop in Tricastella in Spain?

I use Revolut on my iPhone & get an immediate confirmation that the charge has gone through.Does anybody know the phone number for the Pilgrim shop in Tricastella in Spain?

UnhelpfulSo, the lesson learned is not to tap your card but to insert it in the shoe and use your PIN number.
How so?Unhelpful
Can you dispute the charges with your credit card company? If this is a habit they will know.Does anybody know the phone number for the Pilgrim shop in Tricastella in Spain?

Actually, I found that piece of information to be quite interesting and helpful, as something to be aware of anywhere but especially when traveling. (However, maybe I would say it wasn't the lesson learned, as I think a more important lesson is about not assuming the worst in people.)Unhelpful
I don't even know what this tap thing is.Yes, some people might not be aware that you don't have to tap. You can always choose to put your card in the machine and use your pin.

Jeff, I thought you were possibly joking (being the clever punner that you often are). In the US I have never heard a credit card slot called a "shoe" before, and the OP had purchased a pair of shoes.So, the lesson learned is not to tap your card but to insert it in the shoe and use your PIN number.
My exact thought, too. I actually looked on google maps and couldn’t find one.Is there a "pilgrim shop" in Triacastela? I don't remember one.
We can't assume OPer is not interested in replies; while travelling some of us save battery by turning off phones or going to flight mode.Unfortunately, it looks like this poster just wanted to vent, and was not really seeking information or advice. She posted this thread at 11:32 PM yesterday, and has not been seen on the Forum since 11:37 PM, before even the first response was posted. She had a grievance -- probably misplaced -- and obviously just wanted to let the world know about it.
Of course, the advice given by others above is useful to people who have also been double-charged. Too bad the original poster doesn't seem to be drawing any beneift.
Too deep for me, Chrissy! A French friend calls the wireless card readers "sabots" from the French for a wooden clog. Must have picked it up from her.I never knew this.
I have occasionally been asked to tap twice because the machine didn't respond to the first tap.

Just for info: the time that you see as the time of a comment being posted is your local time. The poster made the comment at 8:32 am yesterday (Saturday) in Triacastela/Spain. The poster may well never come back; numerous replies will still be useful for others.She posted this thread at 11:32 PM yesterday, and has not been seen on the Forum since 11:37 PM, before even the first response was posted
Despite the fact that tapping is a prevalent and accepted mode of payment these days, the issue shared by the OP can also arise when entering the card and PIN number.How so?
Indeed. I was told by my bank security people that tapping was a problem after my card was hacked a few years ago. On their recommendation I disabled tapping and only insert with PIN now.So, the lesson learned is not to tap your card but to insert it in the shoe and use your PIN number.

I don't think anyone in Europe has magnetic stripe cards any more.But magnetic stripe cards are actually more vulnerable because hackers lurking nearby can use handheld ultra-high frequency devices to automatically detect and steal electronically stored card information.

This will be different from country to country but in my case and with my bank, the limits are €50 per contactless payment and €100 for consecutive contactless payments. Whenever one of these limits is reached the PIN number must be entered for the contactless payment to go through.The main issue I have with contactless payments is they are not verified in any way, so if someone gets your card they can easily spend money without PIN or signature.
But that's €100 every day, right?This will be different from country to country but in my case and with my bank, the limits are €50 per contactless payment and €100 for consecutive contactless payments.

During my long lifetime, I and family members have managed to loose a card or have it stolen. The card disappeared with the wallet in which it was stored. The cash stored in the wallet that disappeared with it was often more than €100 (actual sum or equivalent when it happened decades ago). I had the contactless payment function enabled when Covid-19 came along and have not regretted using it since. Also, I now have a lot less cash in my wallet. So, the risk of loss appears to be the same as it has always been.
But you can only make a limited number of contactless payments before it requires a pin (used to be 3,maybe 5). This is not per day. (at least from my bank/credit card provider)But that's €100 every day, right?
That's true that magnetic strip cards are close to obsolete.I don't think anyone in Europe has magnetic stripe cards any more.

No. Just consecutive contactless payments (with my bank). There are limits as to what can be spent daily by card payment as such but that's a different topic.But that's €100 every day, right?
So, do you mean that every 3 payments you have to enter your pin?But you can only make a limited number of contactless payments before it requires a pin (used to be 3,maybe 5). This is not per day. (at least from my bank/credit card provider)
As I tapped my card onto the machine for the second time, I was charged again to the amount of 60.00 euro.
Were you charged rightfully 29.99 the first time, and 60 euros the second time? Or 60 euros in total?
Correct. Throughout the EU (and presumably also in the UK) the cumulative limits set by the banking authorities for low-value contactless transactions is 5 successive transactions / 150 EUR without SCA (strong customer authentication, i.e. PIN or similar).But you can only make a limited number of contactless payments before it requires a pin (used to be 3,maybe 5).

Is that without any time limit? I'm pretty sure none of my cards actually does this - UK, Irish and N26 (available EU-wide but German IBAN). Or does it reset if you do a transaction with a PIN in between? I don't do a lot of contactless payments.Correct.

Your card issuer and/or you as the card holder can set lower limits.
