McD's in the UK is one of the (relatively few) places where you can use
paywave credit cards. Although I always feel a bit awkward using a
credit card for such small purchases.


You can of course use a Visa payWave debit card... if you've got one.
(Barclays have been one of the early movers in issuing payWave debit
cards.)
