Few weeks ago, my wife went shopping and rang me - "I've left my card at home and I think I've got more than £100 worth of stuff...can you bring my card down?"

(She had her phone, which she can only use for payments of up to £100).

I traipsed down to Lidl and found the wife in the queue for the checkout.

I suspect that many of you have already guessed...but yes, she spent exactly £100

why does the phone payment have a limit, is it not apple/android pay?

That’s crazy. I would say go buy a lottery ticket but you’d have no more money
