..but, its still in the U.S How about the same reported number outside ?
Just wait until we all switch over to 'micro chip under the skin' We'll be saying goodbye to Apple Pay.

No they all just accept Apple Pay now. No more physical card payment methods. /s
Coming from Europe where contactless has been around for years, it still seems mental to me that the USA, a place that is supposed to be number one and the best is still struggling to get Apple Pay into stores.
America is in decline. 50 years from now, we will practically be a third world country, the way things are going.
lol come to find out they turned it back on even before I posted that. Been up about a month now totally under the radar unless you go into a store.
Right. It wasn't reported here on MR as far as I know. I knew it was coming, but just found out it was live when I went in to pick up a prescription.
I saw a pump that accepted Apple Pay at an Exxon gas station in Laredo, TX, so they definitely do exist (the nfc reader was like the ones often found on vending machines). Ironically, I can use Apple Pay to pay for fuel in Mexico more often than I can in the US, since in Mexico all the gas stations have employees equipped with wireless POS terminals many of which do have the NFC reader enabled (once set up with a supported card, Apple Pay works everywhere there is contactless payment regardless of the existence of support for Apple Pay by the local banks).Hmmm...sarcasm or honesty? I think former.If so, I agree. It's just as easy to grab a CC and do the transaction that way.
The only place I would REALLY love to use AP is at gas stations (at the pump), where CC info is ripped off daily from card scammers. But, I've yet to see a pump that takes AP.
I actually use Apple Pay a LOT nowadays. Especially since my iPhone X does a better job recognizing my face for authentication than the fingerprint recognition on my now-retired iPhone 6.
Only some pumps though. Out of the three wawas I regularly frequent, only one has Apple Pay at the pump. They all have it inside.
