I've already told my bank.. two months to announce plans to participate or I'm gone. I've got far more loyalty to saving my own time than I do any bank. lol.
Nowhere on that page did it imply that Pay would be available at launch.
almost here ≠ available at launch
"Apple's training materials note that its retail employee should emphasize the simplicity and security of Apple Pay to lure customers into using the service."
Richard, unless the training materials actually say that, a respectable journalist would refrain from using the word "lure." Is this some scheme or are we fish?

Pretty excited and happening at just the right time. Can't even get a blizzard sundae without getting hacked these days..
I wonder why only 8 cards is the limit? Why not unlimited? Or 25 or something higher?
Also, I wonder how smoothly the return process will go... do you need to scroll through and find your transaction to return an item? Or how exactly will that work?

I'm not really sure how that could happen, even hypothetically, without extreme negligence from the victim.
If your phone gets stolen, wipe it with iCloud. Even if you didn't, they'd need to steal a perfect copy of your Touch ID print along with it.
Your card number isn't given to retailers or sent via nfc.
Every payment generates a unique number that can only be used once.
The Shamesung Astroturfers will be in full trolling force again for this. They are also busy in astroturfing & trolling trainings.
/s tired of the itrolls
Seeing as many retail outlets have already said they've no current plans to implement, could be a bust until they open NFC capability to everyone.
Man I hope this takes off. I'm in Canada and TONES of retailers have NFC capability so it should be widely adopted here --when it comes here--
I would switch credit cards to use Apple pay... Any bank not making this available is going to start loosing revenue and should adopt pretty quick.
I'm not some super Apple fanboy... I just think Apple pay is a good solution to the mobile wallet.

Or could be like when when ATT was the only vendor to supply the iPhone. After it got popular, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile wanted in.
It was certainly necessary. Expecting people to read the webpage before commenting is not the least bit unreasonable. Handing out bans for that type of conduct would elevate the level of conversation here quite a bit.
Let me walk you through the math. For Apple to make more '$$$' than anything they've done so far, they'd have to make a profit of $7 billion, which is what they make in a typical quarter off the iPhone. To get that at 0.15% would mean processing 4.67 trillion dollars worth of payments, or ¼ of the US GDP. That's assuming that Apple Pay is 100% profit, which it most certainly is not.
To sum is up, your statement is way off in the looney bin. Apple Pay will only be mildly popular, if that. What it will do us sell hardware, which is and always has been Apple's money pump. No matter how many times Apple's business model is explained some people just never get it.

Irrelevant if it is true or not. There will be a Samsung paid blogger posting YouTube videos about how to 'easily' hack it two days in. Even if the vids are revealed to be fake after 2 hours the damage is still done. I'm still hearing people talking about that bendgate nonsense that was debunked weeks ago
What is the difference between 'excited' and 'literally excited' <confused>
----------
PayPal will be s****ing bricks, Apple Pay will sweep through the electronic payment system like a whirlwind, pulling any store of any importance into the system no matter how determined they are to hold out.
