Apple Pay Today UK!

bigup said:
hi guys

getting my watch today and have had iphone 6 plus for a few days, never used Apple Pay before and just set up my Lloyds card on my iphone.

I have a few quick questions if anyone would be so kind to answer:

1. After adding my card to the watch, to use Apple Pay on watch you double tap the crown then place watch on top of terminal?
2. To use Apple Pay on iphone, I open up Passbook, select my card and place phone on top of terminal and press on touch ID?
3 To confirm, I can use Apple pay wherever a shop offers contactless and/or of course Apple logo ?

many thanks!

You double press the other button, not the crown :) it'll say it's ready on screen, then you face the watch toward the ready and it'll vibrate to let you know it's complete.

No idea about two, I only use my watch

Yeah that's pretty much it, Apple Pay works anywhere that supports contactless pay

Yes to all but for number two you don't need to open passbook. You can just hold phone over reader and Apple Pay will open up automatically.

Number three, its the friends button you press.

The tesco express near me has contactless on their self service, but not in their big shop in town

With iOS 9, you just double tap the home button and if you're holding finger on the button, it'll do Touch ID at same time.

Also, you don't have to place it on the reader, just close to it, like a couple inches or so.

if you're using the default card, no need to even wake the phone (ie, no need to press anything). hold it over the payment terminal, with your finger on touch id. thats it. even with ios 8 :)

Has anyone on iOS 9 GM experienced problems with Apple Pay? Holding my phone over the terminal brings up Apple Pay, but it keeps saying Touch ID or passcode needed to pay, even with my finger on Touch ID. iPhone 6 with Halifax.
 
its annoying apple didn't bring transactions to the apple watch, The watch is better than the phone for apple pay, but the last transactions is handy

Yep, I'm left confused that there isn't a list of last transactions, there is a perfect place for it in the watch app which is where you'd expect it to be... But alas.

Or the other banks could do what Amex do and just show all transactions on the phone.

It's not unique to specific banks, Apple Pay on the iPhone six and upwards display a list of Apple Pay transactions made on the phone, it omits Apple Pay transactions made on the watch, which is the issue.

Oh I agree but atleast other banks could choose to do what Amex do and just show all transactions (including transactions with card) if Apple won't let them show the watch transactions.

you say it omits them, but... my most recent transaction listed with my nationwide credit card is for a transaction on my apple watch. actually, the transaction was in hong kong - and failed and never appeared on my card statement - but it was definitely initiated on my watch. it didn't show up there, however, until i deleted my santander card from passbook last night.

the apple watch and phone apple pays do clearly talk to each other. but not routinely, it seems.

Since iOS 9 beta 4 or 5, I've had some watch transactions show up on my iPhone 6, with my HSBC card. Tho the NatWest one doesn't. So it must be bank specific.
 
Had a few goes this week now that Halifax has joined the Apple Pay gang.

Firstly a contactless fail when trying to buy £30 of store vouchers for my Mum's birthday at Lakeland (cooking shop). Might have been their system not updated to the £30 ceiling.

Next today at a Wilkos in Cardiff that has Apple Pay. It wouldn't see my or my wife's watch(which uses HSBC). Epic fail. Was for £27.

Then after that tried £19 contactless at a Burger King, worked fine.

Not liking the lottery of it at the mo, but was great when worked.

Probably because none of the terminals it failed on are updated for the £30 limit. Many retailers are updating mid-October.
