This is a great offer but can only be used by UK MasterCard holders as noted in T&C’s below. Tourists from other countries carrying say a US MasterCard are not included – bummer.
Full Terms & Conditions
This offer is open to UK Master Card® cardholders with an Apple Pay compatible device e.g. iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus or an Apple Watch.
