    As above, I got a new VD card in the post recently and the contactless doesn’t work. I’ve tried numerous times in numerous different shops, etc. I rang customer care yesterday evening only to be told to try again as there’s no reason it shouldn’t be working. Well I have and it doesn’t...

    How do you mean? I activated the card at an atm and the card works in atms and chip and pin machines. No contactless though

    Hi there,

    Thanks for getting in touch with us here.

    Once you've used the card to withdraw money from an ATM it should be fully active so you can use the contact-less function. As you've done this can I just confirm with you that the new card you received does has the contact-less symbol on it?

    Thanks again,
    Darren.

    Request a new one. Highlight your issue raised on this channel and request the fee to be waived. It is obviously physically defective and no online/ phone support can fix this.

    I got a replacement last month in 3 days.

    Thanks for getting back to us. In this case I'd ask you to raise this through the "Ask a question" section within the "Service Desk" tab of your 365 online profile and the advisers there will be more than happy to check on your card and if needs be order a new card for you.

    Thanks again, 
    Darren.
