Apple Pay works at WalMart!

Well, just my luck the Walmart close to my job doesn't have the new terminals. Oh well, there's always next weekend for groceries
This is EPIC. I wanna go to Walmart just to try and see. Maybe, a stick of gum, a sponge, or a loaf of bread. Yipppee! 
The Walmarts in my area have new POSes that look like Ingenico iSC Touch 250.
The webpages advertise NFC.
Does anyone know if NFC works with the new Ingenicos at Walmart?

Receipts at most places don't mention anything about Apple Pay at all. I mostly see "CREDIT CARD VISA XXXXXXXX"
Heres hoping 2015 brings many many more stores into the world of NFC. Just tonight I got an alert of a bogus $300 charge to my CC at a Macy's out in California. Luckily My bank sent me a text of the bogus charge, but now I have to have the card reissued. Apparently another merchant has been hacked. 3 time this year. Once for Target, once for Home Depot, and once for a merchant to be named later. So from this point forward, payment will be cash, or ApplePay.
Hahaha that's awesome.

Is remembering a post from the previous evening now considered "investigating people's post history"?

You haven't changed very much since then.
I thought for some reason Walmart disabled all of their NFC terminals the way Rite Aid and CVS did. I haven't shopped at Walmart in a long time; I'm gonna have to take one for the team.
@dontwalkhand yeah its just a regular credit card with better security. @iapplelove Did they both have the ISC Touch 250, and only the ones with MX915 may even have it enabled at all, as the Igenico's have to be configured to have Contactless on while the MX915's come on by default. So Wal-Mart never really had it, just they bought terminals with it on and forgot to turn them off right away.

I appreciate you keeping up with my activity. It's very flattering, a little creepy, but mostly flattering.
Also having worked at Walmart I know they can turn things on and off all from Home Office.
I tried yesterday with no success at WalMart. I did however use it at Home Depot and Walgreens with no problem. I also used it yesterday at the McDonalds located in the Walmart store. My attempt at WalMart was half hearted though, I'll try again. It seems with the McDonalds located in WalMart taking Apple Pay, that it should work a few feet away in the store.
Most of the Walmarts near me have the old terminals, but I happened to be at one that had the Ingenico iSC250s at self-checkout only. Unfortunately, it didn't work, so I guess they disabled it on those. Then again, out of the 8 self-checkout stations, 2 were "card-only", 1 was "cash-only", and 1 was down entirely (rebooting in Windows XP safe mode).
I believe the ISC250's comes with it off by default as it has to be configured, also if it was turned on you'd see the first green light, lit up like it does at The Home Depot. The local Wal-Mart around here has that exact terminal too and no light shines, so I knew it was always off.
Good to know - I was going to say, that was the same model as the Home Depot by me and their documentation says it has NFC. That makes sense about it being off by default. Does anyone know if the Verifone MX915/925 has it enabled and configured by default or not, or is that another off-unless-the-merchant-enables-it situation?
MX915 and MX925 both come on by default, as my first Contactless payment was at Hy-Vee with an MX915, then the next time I tried it was off, plus Wal-Mart would never support it unless it came on by default. So if you see an MX915 or MX925 try to use Apple Pay on it unless that merchant is part of MCX.
