This has to be the best news to come out of WWDC. They have had a huge win with TFL, many Android vendors have been trying to get on this for a while now, but they've somehow managed to be the first ones.
Contactless on the TFL is going to be great and I'm super looking forward to this...

I am so excited for apple pay! I've been waiting for it since US Launch! this weekend I just got back from 2 weeks in new york where so many places accepted apple pay and I couldn't use my phone/watch for any payments

I am going to the states in a few weeks and planned on opening an american account,
Probably don't need to now, Although I still might open one.
Thats within an app as an Online Purchase, so not Contactless. At the bottom of the page there is a contactless transaction but thats for only £19.98.
This!
Apple pay uses standard nfc so you'll be able to use it anywhere that accepts contact less payments
It's just near America mateCANADA, WHERE IS CANADA
Did it say what retailers as in asda tesco etc ?

That's referring to Apple Pay within an app (Smith Hotels.) Contactless transactions are still limited to £20 and under with it increasing to £30 from September.
I think its still possible that Apple Pay could get treated differently from a normal contactless transaction because it has the security from Touch ID. However it will probably require stores to have a separate Apple Pay option on the checkout so that the contactless reader activates when it is over £20.
Clue 1: I actually met with Apple pre launch (I used to work for one of the launch partners)
Clue 2: If there is a £20 limit, it would be pretty useless when you flashing your iPhone in Liberty (I don't work there)
So I guess I am wondering how Apple Pay with reward/loyalty cards will work. Now I just go up to an NFC reader and pay using my default card. If I go to Petco, will I have to open Wallet, choose the Petco PALS card, have it scanned then switch back to my default card? I assume so. Even more of a hassle if I have to go back and choose a credit card instead of my debit card for bigger purchases.
I believe so. Check out the UK page. The top half details that it works with any reader displaying the contactless symbol OR the Pay logo:

Both Lloyds and TSB were mentioned. They are different banks now.
Where did you see this? Is there a list somewhere? Thanks.
Edit: Should have checked the Apple website...
With it not being available on Barclays means I'm moving to a bank that does accept it.
You would have been willing to pay awful exchange rates and additional fees just to use Apple Pay?
Any word on Natwest supporting it in the UK? I am really hoping to use it soon... I have an iPhone 6 and it's a shame not to be able to use it yet.
I don't think it's an Oyster card per se.
It's simply being used as a contactless credit card.
People with American bank accounts on Apple Pay have been doing this on TfL all along.
