I'll never understand why they refer to them as "contactless."

They are pretty much in "contact" with the reader when you "tap to pay."

You don't have to tap.  It just needs to be within range of the terminal.  But, as stated above, contacless refers to the cards using radio waves instead of a physical electrical contact (i.e. mag stripe or the contacts for EMV).

Has anyone gotten a cash back contactless card yet? (BCE/BCP/TE)? That's not a charge card?

They've have been avaialable for quite some time now.  Well, at least some of them.  I got my contactless & C&S BCP about a year ago.

I just chatted and asked for the CONTACTLESS replacment card... and they sent them for the Gold Charge, Green Card, Gold Delta, and Business Green  all contactless emv and signature

I just chatted asking for a Gold Delta Contactless card and the CSR said no, not available. Said he was making a note in my file that if it came available, I'd be notified.

I may call on the phone in a few days, during business hours just to see if I get a different answer.

That's exactly what I was about to ask. Oh well, maybe the Delta card will get it eventually (or I'll just apply for/PC to something else of theirs that does have it).

OP says it's available for Delta Gold, and so I'm going on the theory that my CSR didn't know what he was talking about, and I just need to find the CSR that does know the Delta Gold has Contactless
