Chase VISA contactless work on London Tube?
Edit: Sorry for the misleading title. Mods feel free to add a question mark.
QUESTION:
I hear reports that many US-Issued Credit Cards with Contactless payment support DO NOT work on the London Tube and Bus contactless terminals. Anyone have positive success with the World of Hyatt Chase Visa using the contactless payments on the London Tube and underground?

I had no issue with Capital One tap cards when I visited London (and using it for purchases and the bus/tube). I expect you will have no problem with the Chase contactless card. One thing to understand though is that if you have more than one person wanting to tap, the notes indicate you need a card with a different physical number (like Capital One and Barclays do). This is not so common at Chase.

The physical contactless cards return the same data when scanned as with Apple/Google Pay, so I wouldn't expect problems. (Previously, the latter were set up to only allow real-time authorization, which prevented anything other than regular purchases at merchants from working.)
