What is PayQuick?
PayQuick is a fast payment service for shopping in the biggest supermarket in UK — Tesco. It allows you to add your credit or debit card details to the app so you can use your smartphone to pay for your shopping with just one scan, which means you can go wallet-free in all UK Tesco stores.
What are the benefits?
●Collect your Tesco points automatically
●Pay for your weekly shopping up to £250
●Use PayQuick offline, even with no signal
●Track your spending in Tesco
However, only one qualifying deal per week will collect the extra Tesco points. Additional payments in the same week won’t receive extra points. Tesco points will be added to your future Tesco points statement.
How to get your PayQuick?
Available to new customers who sign up by 3rd March 2024, the PayQuick app can be downloaded from the App Store or our official website. Once you have the app on your phone, register your personal details on the app to get an account. Note that for each customer, only one account is allowed and a family shared account will not be acknowledged. Finally, with all the preparation work done, you’ll be ready to shop using just your phone.
Plus, there’s no need to worry about your bank details being stored on your phone — they’re all securely protected in our data centers. So not only is it quicker and easier, it’s safer than going shopping with your wallet as well.

【推荐2】Cooloola National Park
The park protects the largest undamaged sand dune(沙丘) system in the world, and also includes rainforest, open forest and heathlands. Significant features of the park are the coloured sand cliffs, extensive beaches, forests and peaceful lakes.
Visitors can enjoy bushwalking, scenic drives, beach fishing, lake and surf swimming. Many rough tracks within the park are 4WD (four-wheel drive) only — day tours and safaris(游猎) are available.
◆Walks
Cooloola National Park provides many day and extended walks opportunities. The Noosa river is also a great river to canoe(划独木舟) up and many people do. Spring is the best time to walk, and the wildflowers are impressive.
The old foot bridge that was washed away over Kin Creek has now been replaced further upstream and the track here upgraded.
◆Walks from Harrys Hut
Harrys Hut provides a good base to explore this area. Some walks may require the crossing of the Noosa River so it is good to either have a lilo or some other means to cross it.
◆Campsite 3
From the campground, cross the Noosa River and pick up the track on the east bank. This path follows the Noosa River upstream to Campsite 3, a large bush campsite with a toilet provided. Water may be picked up along the track. It is nice to have a swim here after a long hot walk. It is about a 1.5 hour easy walk from Harrys.
◆Fig Tree Point
The point could also be done as an easy extended walk. It is best to follow the old forestry road, 1km back along the road from Harrys, to the point. There is no water. The walk would be about a18km walk return to Harrys Hut.
◆ Wandi Waterhole
An easy day walk of about 9kms to the campsite. This walk could be used as an introduction to extended walks. The track follows the Wilderness Trail and there is no navigational(导航的) problem.

【推荐1】When diners ask for the bill in an urban Chinese restaurant, they are more likely to reach for their mobile phones than their wallets. This reflects the rapid spread of mobile payment platforms,which are pushing urban China towards becoming a cashless society.
In a survey of 1,000 urban consumers conducted by the Financial Times, 98% of respondents (受访者) said they had used mobile payment platforms over the past three months. For example, Alibaba’s Alipay was the most frequently used payment platform preferred by 79% of respondents. That is a far greater proportion than those who said they used credit cards (45%) or cash (65%).
These respondents said they most often used them for payments in supermarkets and shopping malls, but they are also popular for ordering food, buying travel tickets or eating out.
Unsurprisingly, the younger the respondents, the more likely they were to have adopted this relatively young technology. While only 56% of respondents aged 35 or older said they preferred making mobile payments to paying via PC, even though almost all owned smart phones, 88% of 18 to 24-year-olds preferred paying via their mobile device.
Mobile platforms are now taking advantage of the big data resources of their parent companies to expand business,and to challenge the traditional banks. It is not surprising that China’s big banks are refusing to co-operate with the upstarts, limiting the range of services they are able to offer. On the other hand, China’s banks, especially the big four state lenders, are known to fiercely guard their turf (领域). Both regulators and China’s well-entrenched (根基深厚) banks will need to adapt if these online lenders are to succeed.

【推荐3】Three months ago, I landed in Beijing International Airport after a very long flight from Vancouver, Canada. I thought that it would just be a normal summer, but little did I know that my understanding of how to pay for things was about to be completely changed.
As an international student who had not been back to China for three years, I knew that it would take me some time to readjust to the life in China. However, I did not expect that I wouldn’t even be able to do things as simple as taking the subway.
I still remember asking my cousin if I could borrow his metro card. He looked at me with such astonishment and then started laughing: “No one uses a metro card now. You have your phone!” He then explained to me which application I needed to download and how to connect it with WeChat pay.
I was so dumbfounded by how convenient payment had become in China. When I had just come back, I still had the habit of carrying some cash with me when I went out. But soon, I realized that there was no place for me to use it. Even the smallest convenience stores support Alipay or WeChat pay. Online transactions (交易) and mobile payments have become the new norm.
Mobile payment is so common for people in China that they are used to it by now. But for me, it has been new and exciting.
Back in Vancouver, there was no way of going to the mall or supermarket without carrying cash, a debit card (借记卡) or a credit card. Mobile payment in Canada is not as prevalent (流行的) as it is in China. Personally, I have never paid using my phone during my stay in Canada. I had to carry cash around everywhere. Contrary to that, I have not used cash to pay at all since I arrived back in China.
Now I am getting used to the concept of mobile payment. Gradually, I stopped asking the vendors (小贩) if I could use WeChat pay and just showed them my payment code. Thinking back on my experience with this “new” method of paying over the past few months, I have to admit that our lives have indeed become much more convenient with the presence of mobile payment.
