not in the US. here you have to put your card in a slot and wait like 12 seconds before it buzzes angrily at you to remove it. in the past you'd just swipe and that'd be it. apple pay is okay when it works, but it rarely does. and then you look like an idiot while you fish out your card from your wallet.

applepay has never once not worked for me. you're holding it wrong

Very first time I tried it, it failed and the POS seized up. It doesn't work at the grocery store by me. Everywhere else I've tried it has been hit or miss.

apple pay seems like a bunch of extra effort over just tapping your card, but i guess y'all have george costanza wallets or something

None of my cards have NFC. And not every store has NFC readers. I'd love it if they did.

remember when half the credit card fraud in the world took place in the US because we held on to magstripe cards for so much longer than everyone else?

remember when Home Depot and Target got hacked and millions of credit card numbers were stolen because they stored the CC number of every single customer who bought anything in one of their physical stores?

The first set of chip readers (in the eu) were kinda slow, same with the pin authorization machines. They are almost all instant now though. The only bad ones are the tube entry/exit ones where you have to hold for like 3/4 a second, but you get used to that pretty quickly

someone tried to use my AmEx to buy $800 of stuff at Macy’s so they instantly texted me about it, cancelled my card and fedexed me a new one.
They pushed the updated card to my Apple Pay and I didn’t have to do anything so good work I guess.

i use a wallet phone case since I don't like to carry a lot of stuff and don't have too many cards, it's functional but could be nicer

nope. Apple Pay is tokenized nfc with biometric confirmation. it generates a new card number for every transaction and authorizes the transaction with your finger instead of a PIN

nfc tap cards are just wireless swiping

yeah amex is real good with apple pay, with full transaction history instead of just those made on that phone, and apple wallet notifications for transactions done with the physical card

i was grocery shopping at a store id never been to in a different city last weekend, and habitually tried to use apple pay since i saw the "tap card" symbol on the reader, it failed and told me to insert the chip instead of swiping, which is the only time ive ever had something like that happen, it was super weird

i got myself a decently protective folio case for phone, but it can only fit 1 card so im not using that until apple pay is ubiquitous or we get a smartphone app that passes for id everywhere since i still get carded frequently

i've had it happen where the terminal has nfc capabilities and pops up the wallet when i hold my phone over it, but after a few seconds it just makes an obnoxious noise with CARD READ ERROR on the screen and won't work until i insert the actual card

you would think that the payment companies would incentivize retailers to support mobile payments since they basically eliminate the possibility of compromising accounts via skimming or hacking

yeah, if you happen to have a tap card, then you can use it at places that accept nfc payments. i don't know of any banks currently offering tap cards, but i haven't really bothered to look into it, so it's possible some do.

what are you worried about? if you've ever used a nfc card like on public transport you'd know accidentally scanning it somewhere is a complete non-issue. I remember when nfc cards were just coming out and people thought holding the card in your hand while the bus drove by would scan your card on the bus lol
