No Chevrons in the St. Louis area, sadly. I usually like to go to QuikTrip because they have clean stations that are well lit, good prices, and their coffee is good. I wrote to them asking for Apple Pay support, got a form letter, and no changes to their payment terminals or pumps.
Still waiting for another local station -- we have lots of Shells, BPs, and Mobils -- to accept NFC at the pump, but nobody does. You'd think they'd be all over tokenised payment systems given that criminals are known to try to use stolen cards at gas stations since they don't have to confront a clerk, and almost everyone needs to buy either gas or diesel to go about their lives in the US -- our mass transit infrastructure is awful. They will also install skimmers on pumps for the same reasons, and NFC/tokenisation would be a way to prevent the stolen card numbers from being any good since they are one-time-use only. (The same, I hope, would be true with EMV cards, but they don't accept those either and they can wait even longer than the fall 2015 deadline that other merchants are under for that switch).
I guess they're literally banking on the fact that they sell a product that is almost impossible to avoid having to buy. Sad when corporate convenience is willingly placed over customer security. Why should they bother upgrading their pumps when we HAVE to buy gas/diesel and HAVE to use their outdated, security-hole-ridden non-encrypted magswipe readers to buy what they're selling? At most they put the NFC readers inside the store where most people don't go -- they just want to pay at the pump and leave.
Ugh. And, because ALL of the stations available to me are doing the same thing and not doing anything, every time I swipe my card I worry that I've just given the account number away to somebody who'll clone my card. It's happened a few times before even though I check for skimmers and don't go to dodgy-looking stations/businesses as much as possible.
