[LINK] refusing contactless cards

[Craig Sanders]

my bank, Bendingo Bank, just sent me a MasterCard PayPass debit card - I
didn't ask for it, and I don't want it.

does anyone know what is the best way to refuse the card and get myself
on the bank's "don't issue contactless card" list, even if they have to
invent such a list just for me?

is there any ACCC or Banking Industry or other regulations I can refer
to when I call/write to the bank to save myself a lot of argument with
low-level employees who aren't allowed to make decisions.

The accompanying letter says to call them to activate it (and accept the
terms and conditions) once it has safely arrived - I have no intention
of doing that.

The current card for this account - used to pay bills - expires next
month ("08/14"), so I need to get this sorted and a new non-RFID card
issued ASAP.


the cards for my other accounts are due to expire next year too and
will need replacing, so i really don't want to get them then by default
either.
