Now I know that Amazon aren't many peoples favourite company but they are planning to start selling PCR kits for 40 GBP and if that means the dubiously granted contracts run by Tory mates aren't cleaning up at 100 GBP a pop or whatever they are charging now then that's probably a good thing.

They’re about to alienate half the country by refusing to take payments from Visa cards, form mid-January. Ripping people off for self-test kits doesn’t surprise me in the least. |  |

Get a Curve card.
Credit to whoever it was on here who recommended it to me a few years ago.
All your cards on one card and you can use Visa cards on Amazon via Curve. Cashback at various places as well. |  | | |

Ripping people off by selling then cheaper than the companies run by Tory mates who got the contracts in highly dubious ways?

It's not all visa, just visa credit cards.
And ripping people off doesn't make sense if they're cheaper than the alternative.
Personally used Randox and they seem reasonably priced (compared to some) and were quick with results. | | | |

Randox are £36-£43 a test and brilliant service. Not £100 |  |

That’s not actually true, it’s only VISA credit cards you will still be shoe to use your VISA debit cards on Amazon. | | | |

You've picked one service, there are many others that are more expensive and didn't have to do much to get the contracts except being friends of Tories.
Glad to hear that Randox are well priced and reliable. I'm sure that information will be useful to many.

Strictly speaking, they're going to alienate 52% of the country by doing that... |  |

Of course I picked one service, why on earth would I/anyone pick a £100 test when these are available at the £40 mark? | |

This happens every couple of years. Amazon play hardball with one of the card merchants over processing fees. Announce that you can't use those cards from a certain date. Then, guess what? Suddenly a deal is announced and you can use them after all. Usually a few days before the deadline, sometimes just after.
I think it only applies to Visa Credit cards, not Visa Debit Cards. Most people have a debit card and will shift their preferred payment card accordingly. | | | |
