I (genuinely) totally disagree with you - I think this will eventually
become one of the so-called 'killer applications' that pushes the
contactless card payment method into the mainstream.

(And FWIW, I haven't got a contactless card in my wallet either!)


I have two, and it means I have to get my Oyster out of my wallet now,
while I used to be able to just bang the whole wallet on the reader.


Depends on the reader, really. I have two contactless transport cards in
my current Oyster card holder, one being an Oyster card, the other being
from another city on the continent. I can bang them both together on
some bus lines and fare gates, and the reader will read only the Oyster
Card. Readers on other busses or fare gates will indicate that there is
more than one card and that it can distinguish between the two.
