Hmm.. maybe you have a knee jerk reaction. There is absolutely 0 proof this is Apple's issue. Together, lets stop and use some common sense here. So of all banks involved at launch only 1 has an issue and of those more than likely thousands on thousands using this feature, a few hundred are having problems. So the problem is small and only occurs with a single bank. And lets remember those banks are the ones that do the processing, on their side.
So with those hints in mind, where would you start your trouble shooting? Please, lets here an answer on that.
As pointed out above, http://recode.net/2014/10/22/bank-of-americas-apple-pay-glitch-should-be-fixed-today/
Uh, what? This has nothing to do with an app or the implementation. It's people on the retail side that have to know how to deal with contactless payments.
I was attempting sarcasm. I find it laughable that people are assuming that Apple doesn't care about testing it's software anymore and use this BoA flap as proof of that.
And it has already been fixed...
Bank of America already credited my affected account yesterday (10/21), one day after the issue occurred.
Thankfully it was just for a bag of Combo's bought at Walgreens, literally 10 minutes after installing 8.1, and adding the debit card toPay in my iPhone. I called BofA immediately after I saw the double charge, but at that time it was still 'Processing' so they couldn't do anything about it. Also, since it was so early on, they couldn't really diagnose where the problem was. Glad to see it wasn't simply user error on my part.

all i can tell you is my personal findings with certain apps, and so far my google wallet and softcard apps work without any issues using the same card and banking info
really i am using the same cards and banks as i do with my google wallet and softcard app on my note4 and i have no issues with using them.
And many Apple Pay users appear to be having the same success as you're having with google wallet.
Since it's happening with ONE bank, I'd say it's an issue on them, not Apple Pay.

Why won't apple pay be successful as people hope? Because a lot more people use Android phones and older iPhones that don't support nfc.
That's a corporate motto for their employees, not a marketing phrase used by Apple to get you to buy their stuff
"truly great products"
"we feel really great about this"
"culture of innovation"
"seamless integration of hw and sw"
"best product pipeline"

lol...first glitch..
Its not a bug, its a feature
Apple Pay is smarter than I thought..
you may no longer have control over this now its "simple" to use.. its not like u need to select an account each time like u manually do...
hope this gets sorted.

Is StarGate about illegal Stars In Hollywood or illegally visiting other stars?
What about Baby Gate? Tail Gate?
I checked my BofA account and I was charged twice at Walgreens, but I think they realized the mistake because they put the duplicate charge back in my account.
Your a "software engineer"? Hummm.. So YOU would guarantee YOUR software worked out of the gate at 220,000 different terminals and throngs of different processing systems that YOU have no control over???
That's a JOKE. Ya a joke!
Wouldnt be first time
In fact, my wife was the treasurer for a local [fashion] organization a few years ago who was using BOA, and processing event tickets with a standalone machine, had all sorts of billing/processing issues (after the multiple hours it took to get the machine up and running).Nope. BTT I saw this circulating, the source of the issue had already been IDed, but of course, that was after all the click revenue was generated
Enjoy it. The guy that created Google Wallet was just on CNBC praising Apple Pay out of the gate #
