Benefit of keeping unused cards in the wallet is notifications. If you have the related app set up you’ll get notifications from there too but the double notifications are no great hardship and possibly beneficial as a confirmation or redundancy.
Got a tip for us?

GIMMEE MAH HUG!!
It just occurred to me that tomorrow is Tuesday which is the traditional launch day for some Apple things so maybe this went live ahead of emails/invites going out tomorrow.
I will join that wagon with you. I've already been checking my email more than normal today. I think the site just went live before the email invites.
Oh and is this where we sign up for the hugs?
IIRC, you can just tap the phone without your finger on Touch ID and the wallet comes up, then you can select a different card.
Why would anybody shut down something that would prove that these endless stories were just that, stories?
You also forgot:
PowerBook LCD and TrackBall
iPod (click wheel)
PowerBook G4 1” thick full laptop (full poets compliment hehehe)
Backlit Keyboard
Multitouch Glass Trackpad
MagSafe
OSX
Etc etc
Because there was a lot of concern that the stories were not just that, stories. Like it would be revealed that yes they are terribly insecure. Perhaps not because the tech was inherently insecure but it's application by the card issuers was not as robustly secure as it should be.
Not to sound tooooo conspiratorial but if they were confident in the security of the tech they would have literally sponsored the show in order to get the word out. Instead...well...
Apple took that security to the next level with TouchID/FaceID and now going further with it's own card.
Apple Pay not ApplePay Onl
soeey on iPhone you do NOT need to unlock your iPhone to use ApplePay. You may have this disabled.
On Watch ... double press on side button and swipe to select the card you want hold it near boom.
If the seller has to pay high fees (and he has, otherwise the credit card company could not afford such high cash back) ultimately the customer will pay higher prices (otherwise the seller couldn't afford to pay such high fees). Free money doesn't exist.
In Europe there is a cap to the credit card fees, as a result cash back is almost non existent because credit card company can't afford it. On the other hand prices tend to be cheaper (unless it's imported stuff of course).
So do I. What I don’t get is why it took Apple four years to enable push notifications and a recent transaction list for apple pay purchases made using the Apple Watch. Seems like that should have been available from day one for both apple watch and iphone.
Please invite me . I'm a technology early adopter. I use only Apple Pay's digital wallet (and Google Pay... just once - sorry). I leave my physical wallet at home.

Card on the back of my wallet case.The only reason to bring the titanium
Card being for places that don’t do contactless payments, yet. And until DMV decides to not drag themselves at a snail’s pace to add secure, digitized identification I will have to carry my license with me.I'm pretty sure they're subject to the same federal laws regarding fraud liability as every other card out there.
Yep, but consumers don't typically deal with MC directly to take advantage of that.
2-3% typically. I'm sure merchants would prefer to pay a lot less (if anything at all), but not enough to stop taking cards for the most part. Or even making surcharging/minimums commonplace to discourage their use.
As mentioned before, it's very possible merchants would just pocket the difference, meaning no change from the perspective of the consumer (other than losing rewards, of course).
That said, it might get some of the NFC holdouts to change their tune if it costed the same to accept it vs. trying to get people to use their own apps. Whether that's worth it to people is another question.
I'm not sure it was ever that common. The only card I remember having with it back in the late 2000s was an AmEx, and I'm pretty sure I could only use it at CVS.
BofA is currently testing them in a few markets. If people take to them, they'll be rolled out nationwide.
The problem was more lack of use by consumers, likely exacerbated by lack of merchant adoption. I suspect that without Apple Pay acting as a motivator, most (if not almost all) merchants wouldn't have bothered including contactless with their new chip terminals. And Chase et al definitely wouldn't be trying again.
BTW, contactless cards are still uncommon precisely due to issuers being reluctant to try a failed technology a second time. I'm sure they'll will change their tune quickly once there's evidence that they're getting more success than the various mobile wallets.
I've definitely been seeing Apple Pay being used more and more, though growth has been a lot slower than people thought it'd be. It might end up just being a generational thing, kinda like with checks.
I thought Adam and Jamie flat out debunked that rumor?
As mentioned above, I don't think there were ever enough of those cards floating around to make people afraid of them on a widespread basis. If there were, it'd be another reason for banks not to bother a second time.

I completely understood you even with clarification. You missed what I did ask though ... does the DMV and law in each state or all (maybe it varies) require you to must have you drivers license at all times when driving? Is there a grace period to provide after the fact to prove you have a valid license?
Either way those of us in North America the complete digital wallet is still some time away from full reality
Why do you care that other people care? You don’t like threads that you’re actually interested in? You don’t think that people know that other credit cards exist?
You only list 2 things that other cards have that this card doesn’t. If you can’t see why people would want this card then move on. Please.

[doublepost=1565054479][/doublepost]Read on Google search recently that Goldman was tied to TransUnion FWIW.
What news?No email for me either, however, I did get some good news from my Barclays card
Yep. Been reported multiple times on this board that people who have already gotten the card have had transunion checked.
