Retailers Cite 'Insufficient Customer Demand' as Biggest Reason for Not Supporting Apple Pay

This reminds me that there are still places that have the terminals for NFC Payments

As long as they can take a debit or credit card Samsung Pay works. It uses MST and NFC. It is literally everywhere Visa and Mastercard are accepted.

Wrong. There are terminals that take debit and credit but don't let you use Samsung Pay.

Before I wasn't shopping in stores that won't accept card, now I'm not shopping in stores that won't take contactless, as they are supported by my phone here in Denmark regardless!

Maybe so, but I have never encountered one even in the rural areas of Tn, Wv, and Co. Where I have lived and do live. Thanks for the info I'll keep an eye out for those places.

In my 51yrs of life I've never had a credit card breach, lost or stolen. I do use Samsumg Pay once on a while. It is accepted everywhere bit still easier imvhp to pay by CC.

WTH cares about your anecdote, it's a real problem with a demonstrable real world stats, good grief.

I use Apple Pay everywhere except large stores like Walmart & Target (I do have WM Pay and Target Wallet set up so I can use my phone still to pay at these stores) because they don't have it. But I live in Phoenix, which I don't consider too "high tech" of a city. You guys are telling me that I can pretty much use it everywhere here in Phoenix, but you guys who live in places Denver, NYC, and SF have a hard time finding places. I think you guys aren't looking hard enough. Most terminals especially at those mom and pop stores do accept NFC. Just tell them you're paying with Apple Pay, or "the cards in my phone" and they generally know what you're talking about, run it, and let you tap. If you see a terminal like this one facing the cashier, generally these have Apple Pay on them.

If you ever run into a place with the card swipe as part of the register, you've found one from my experience.
