Move bank then. I requested not to have it on mine and it was no problem. I also found out that contactless payments aren't as quick, therefore meaning you may think you have more funds than you do, which may lead to a charge for overdrawing money. No wonder they want you to have one!
I requested not to have it on mine as well without any fuss. I didn’t like the idea that if I lost my card someone could use it (albeit for small-ish purchases) and I’d be none the wiser.
I also prefer using cash for tips for taxis and meals. Like someone said, at least you know the person you intended to give it to has received it.
