Exactly. Perhaps they went with the 8 card limit because they didn't expect that it'll be as popular in the US, and you don't hear that many complaints about it because: * People in Europe who use contactless all the time rarely have as many cards as some Americans. * Americans who have that many cards rarely use contactless. Perhaps I am an outlier for actually using all my cards contactless.
