I use 'PayWave' as a generic term when telling merchants I want to contactless payment. Wondering if I'll encounter issue if I use Master or Amex?

Hi Anon,

Nope, you won't encounter any issues because they know that you really mean contactless payment. If their terminal requires them to differentiate between the various card providers (Visa, Master, Amex), they will ask you specifically like "Visa/Master? Or Amex?", so just reply accordingly and they'll know what to do.

Hope this helps!
