When I asked if they ever used tap in a store with their debit or credit cards and how you have to lay your card right down on the machine to pay by tap,one woman said yes. She then got it to work right away.
I've never encountered a contactless credit card reader that required contact. Holding the card about a centimetre from the reader has always worked for me.

"Contactless" refers to an electrical circuit not needing to be made by inserting end with the golden leads into the terminal. It not referring to the touching of your card to the terminal to ensure the NFC signals have sufficient strength.
