List of Stores and Apps That Accept Apple Pay Payments

Complete failure

I have no personal evidence that Apple Pay is other than an elaborate hoax.

Chase has been crowing about how they are such a major Apple Pay partner. My Chase MasterCard is unsupported. When asked, Chase simply says that they are working hard to roll out support for additional products. Remind me again how long this has been in the planning stages, and how proud and happy Chase has been about the whole thing. Feh.

Meanwhile, Wells Fargo was able to verify my credit card quickly, but the debit card steadfastly refuses to verify. They claim it should come through "Shortly" without defining that. It's been over four hours. Meanwhile they continue to tweet about a contest for the first folks to use ApplePay. So shocking that they're continuing to look for people using it.

Well, I do have a credit card hooked up. Let's try it for lunch. McDonalds has been widely trumpeted as being a place to go. I went to one. No NFC reader. Never mind, I know for a fact the local Jack-in-the-Box has one. "Transaction Failed."

I just keep looking behind me for the camera crew. I'm sure I'm being punk'd.

It's unrealistic to expect this whole brand new system to work flawlessly on Day One. It's going to take Apple and the banks awhile to work all the kinks out, same with various businesses and their NFC equipment.

It's a work in progress, but I'm sure everyone will eventually get all of the various pieces working.
 
Not working at Subway yet.

There's three different subways by my house and I went to all of them expecting to buy a cookie with my phone. None of them had it set up correctly and none of them worked.

Then I went to McDonald's and got a cheeseburger and everything worked perfectly.
 
Not working at the Bodegas where the terminals are all behind the counter. Or at the numerous NYC restaurants/halal carts that still operate as cash only. ;)

No. I reject that categorically. Apple has been working on this privately for a long time. They had all of the big banks lined up behind them. I can forgive them the foibles at individual points-of-sale, but the failures at Wells Fargo and Chase should be an embarrassment to everyone involved.

Apple has always made a big noise about stuff that "just works." Live by the sword, die by it.
 
I was so excited for this, but only my AmEx is authorized so far. The Barclay card & the Amazon.com Chase Visa are both a no-go at this time :(. Ah, well, I guess AmEx will get used most in the next few weeks until the others come on board. I did order a Chase Freedom to round things out though :) (Was planning on replacing one of my other cards anyway, so now seemed like a good time).

Oh please... nothing has "just worked" with Apple in years. It's always needed one or two point releases until it works. Everyone knows that.

They'll keep saying it as long as it helps them sell millions of iPhone's in a weekend. If you're looking for someone to blame, blame the people who line up for weeks for a new iPhone knowing full well that the OS will be buggy as hell for for the first couple months.
 
I tried it at the nearest McDonald's and it worked flawlessly the first time. :D Essentially, you start Passbook with your preloaded credit card, put your phone over the NFC receiver, and when it asks for Touch ID verification, use a finger with the fingerprint stored on the phone. Once the phone vibrates, that verifies your payment.
 
And I basically go to none of those places.

I'm surprised Starbucks isn't on that list, being hipster central and all...

your wish will come true when you sell your iphone 5 and buy iphone 6.

you don't have to open Passbook to pay. you don't even have to unlock your phone.

Apple Pay can also be used within apps on devices that support Touch ID, which includes the iPhone 6, the iPhone 6 Plus, and Apple's upcoming iPad mini 3 and iPad Air 2. Apple's iPhone 5s does not appear to be compatible according to the Apple Pay website, even though it has Touch ID.

Wow, this particular example of Apple artificially making hardware obsolete is pretty bad. Worse than Mac Mini 2011 and MacBook Air 2011 owners not being able to use Handoff, despite having the correct and necessary Bluetooth 4.0 hardware.

It's because ApplePay requires NFC hardware which is not present in the 5s.

Not sure if the new iPads have NFC but they can't be used for Apple Pay either at least at retail (they'll only work for app purchases).

It was hard to see how overweight the workers were... no offence, I'm sure they are wonderful people, but what a sad state that the world has gotten to, and Apple just made its even more convenient to indulge in unhealthy eating. :eek:

It's always pissed me off that apple brainwashed people to buy their phones but never used their super mind altering laser beam to stop them from eating junk. Wholly irresponsible.

Well I reject your reality and substitute my own. Seriously, you seem to not be "early adopter" material. Please step away from Beta. I repeat, step away from Beta.

Buggy "as hell"? Hyperbole much? I don't know any s/w that is perfect at first release, or even .1 or .2 but "buggy as hell" makes it sound like an unusable Alpha and that's not the case with any iOS release I've used, and I've been there since Day One. 8.0.1 was an anomaly and quickly rectified.

This for clarification: Do you have to launch Passbook first? I was under the impression that you could just hold up your phone and passbook would come up automatically. Is that not correct?
 
"Apple's iPhone 5s does not appear to be compatible according to the Apple Pay website, even though it has Touch ID."

:mad:

Thank you NFC ... Bluetooth would have saved my butt :D
 
Could not get it to work at BJ's

I tried it at the BJ's flagship store but could not get it to work. The phone seemed to do a transaction but the amount shows as "--". My guess is that the terminal was in the wrong state as no amount was displayed on the terminal at the time I tried to pay. I might have needed to press the enter button to get it to skip having me swipe a card. BJ's allows you to swipe your card and put in your pin before the cashier is done scanning all your items.

Why on earth did anyone ever think it was a good idea to name a store "BJ's" ??? :eek::eek::eek:

In coral Springs Florida they are building a Dicks (sporting good store) in the same lot as a BJs. So you have to pass a sign everyday with both of those names in big bright letters

You don't have to launch anything. Your phone can be on standby. As soon as it's placed near NFC Payment Terminal the phone will wake up. Now if you want to pay with your default payment card, just put your finger on the Touch ID as you holding up your phone close to the NFC. Otherwise holding up just your phone near NFC will wake your phone with the default card card shown, but since you don't have your finger on Touch ID, it won't authorize payment. Then you can select the card you want to use and put your finger on Touch ID to proceed. That's it.
