There are two different types of contactless cards around:

i) just emulates the magnetic strip

ii) is connected to the EMV chip.

It's the first (mostly USA issued) which won't be accepted.

That's interesting, so even the ))) contactless symbol has nuances?

To do with technology rather than what sort of credit rating you have.
