Limit On Contactless Credit Card

Have tried googling but can't get an answer.
I've been sent a contactless credit card and I understand that I can spend up to £30 just by putting it in or near a card reader with a particular sign displayed.
What happens if I want to spend more than that in one transaction? Do I then have to enter my pin. Apols if this is a really stupid question.

Not all retail outlets have reset their limits to £30 so it may vary.

There is another thread running on this theme. If it is a debit card there is a limit to the number of transactions you can make before the PIN is required. I don't know if this applies to credit cards.
