timmmay: My ASB credit card works with Paywave about 10% of the time, I've given up on it. It worked better when it was new. It's had a hard life that card, it's slightly bent in one section from use, and it has to last another 6 months or so. If you ask for a replacement card they give you one with a different number, which can be a pain since credit card numbers are loaded into different websites, replacement cards are the same number with a different expiry date. Maybe changing card numbers is an advantage.

Only place I use mine is in the petrol station, has a success rate of 100% makes me wonder if it is certain terminals not working correctly?

xpd: I had issues with mine not working anywhere, so gave up using it.... then found that Countdown (main place I tried using it) was pushing their own CC, and were actively blocking any PayWave except their own cards... theyve since changed this policy and my card works happily at Countdown and a few more places Ive tried previously that were failing. Suspect there was some bug in the system initially which has since been sorted....

Countdown weren't blocking cards, but if you had a Debit card you would have found it couldn't be processed as a NFC transaction (which means it's a credit card transaction), something many retailers enforce.
wellygary:
With pay-pass and pay-wave both being owned by respective Credit card companies, I am fairly sure that the merchant agreement specifies that touch transactions can only be used with a "visa or mastercard" transaction.

coffeebaron: Then there are merchants such as Countdown who display the PayWave sign, but deliberately don't accept all PayWave cards.
