It also should be remembered that contactless payment is not an option for
people with non-UK cards (and, for credit control reasons, may continue that
way).

I thought they'd gone a long way to fixing that.

But there may well still be a blind spot for those prepay cards sold at
American airports to tourists worried about C&P in the UK. Maybe that's
the subset that they are talking about?

Although the achilles heel for all families/groups travelling is that
you need one card per person.
