I regularly use it at AJ's Fine Food, Firehouse Subs, and Walgreens. I also use Apple Pay with the Starbucks app and then passbook bring up its bar code on the watch when I go there too. Almost always get some reaction from the cashiers.
how does apple pay make apple money?
do they charge the credit card companies?
they sure as **** aren't charging the consumer
Apple charges the bank/credit card company 1% per transaction ... The consumer doesn't see this, it doesn't directly affect you at all
You wont believe where she keeps that NFC reader
Spoken like someone who doesn't have Apple Pay. You fail to realize that it's not just about "showing off". It's the security aspect. Every time you pull your wallet out and swipe, your credit card information can be stolen. Simple as that. With Apple Pay, it's almost impossible because the transaction is token based. Think of that next time you look at your credit card statement and see $10,000 in fraudulent charges because you think Apple Pay is stupid.For those who like to draw attention to themselves and hope to impress others Apple pay is the answer. They justify it as such a time saver.
I don't have to be recognized by what is in my pocket (iPhone) or on my wrist (choice of watch).
If I'm going to use a card instead of cash, it's fast and easy to remove it from its dedicated location in my wallet, swipe, and put it back. It's just not a big deal.
The truly exciting benefit of Apple pay is the big profits Apple makes from it. Downplaying that fact is something Apple does masterfully, they've got the Apple Disciples convinced it's for their benefit.
Apples an amazing marketing machine. No wonder they have all the money![]()

I used it at Academy Sports here in Houston today. I have used it at McDonald's, Walgreen, Macy's and somewhere else I can't remember.
You still have to sign for anything over $25.
I had to put enter PIN the other day when using a saved debit card.
I thought Apple Pay was eliminating the need for PIN inputs there by increasing card security.

Is it safe to assume you're a man? I am guessing so, because any woman who has had to fish for her wallet (or IPhone) under packages of wet wipes, keys, receipts, tissues, makeup, hand sanitizer, packages of gum, plus whatever else the significant other and kids have seen fit to shove into her purse will laugh at that statement that it's fast and easy to wrangle cash or a card out of the wallet.For those who like to draw attention to themselves and hope to impress others Apple pay is the answer.

When you assume....well if you're mature you know what they say...
Swiping is secure when being mindful, just like practicing safe computing.
Apple Pay has no proven advantage yet..only time will tell.
Remember Apple Loves You for Believing everything they tell you too.
Stupid? You said it not I![]()

The wallet has to be found, first. Sometimes I do carry a slim wallet in my pocket. But women's jeans fit tighter than the usual guy jeans. It's not easy getting at that wallet no matter what. I haven't set up Apple Pay on my watch yet because not many places I shop a have the reader for it. But when they do, I will use my watch to pay and save myself a lot of bother.
It seems in this example Apple Pay is a distinct advantage.
I often prefer cash. Yet when I do use a card, it's easy to quickly remove from the top slot of my well organized, not overstuffed wallet. Not bragging... Just providing a visual..ha..ha.. #
I tried Shop Rite today. No good. It said Done on the watch but nothing went threw on the terminal :-(.
