- When you buy a TV with visa trans you get a but if protection for faulty goods. Plus the merchant pays the processing fee. When you do Debit its - all sales final- SOL - and you pay an even larger fee. This CurrentC takes that line of thinking and puts it on steroids. I really hope people aren't dumb enough to hook their bank accounts directly to this network with the promise of coupons.10-25-2014 06:19 PMLike 2

- Here's another article about it.
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techc...3/83DqvVjvNyU/
CurrentC is all about reducing the CC fees retailers pay to the banks than helping consumers out. What they don't get is that by reducing pay friction, ApplePay (and other NFC systems like Google Wallet) will encourage consumers to buy more and more often. I really don't care about reducing the fees Walmart pays to banks/Visa/MasterCard because they just want to pad their bottom line not reduce consumer prices.10-25-2014 07:30 PMLike 0 - The way I see it the retailers have every right to do as they choose. Their stores Their rules. They rejected Apple's app in other words.
Apple made mobile payments a thing now that is gaining traction. Retailers want more control. Now is the time. And as Apple developers haven't quite figured out there is strength in numbers.
Time will tell where it all goes. For now I don't really care and consider Apple pay more of a gimmick that just began a long beta period. Apple has to sweeten the deal for me to get me to waste my time with it.10-25-2014 09:33 PMLike 0 - You haven't tried it yet, have you? It does the opposite of waste your time, plus the added benefit of being more secure than your credit card alone.10-26-2014 10:31 PMLike 0
- It's just going to be a pissing war .. Cvs and others will cave because banks like visa and MasterCard will make them or offer then lower cost fees on Apple pay vs swiping a card ... Personally I think a retailer should take money how they can get it now a days and accepts all payment options they physically can

They've already pissed off all of their potential customers.

I am fine with companies not accepting Apple Pay, especially if they don't yet have the hardware. What I can't stand is companies that already have the technology available, and purposefully disable support because they have a financial interest in a competitive product. So, as it is their right to turn off the ability to accept ApplePay, it is my right to go elsewhere. Walgreens has now earned my business.
I've sent a few tweets to CVS with the #SupportApplePay hashtag, and thought I would post here, as the more voices, the louder, and the higher chance we are heard.
Maybe even our Google Wallet using Android brethren fron AndroidCentral will take part in this campaign to #SupportApplePay!10-27-2014 09:37 AMLike 0 - The way I see it the retailers have every right to do as they choose. Their stores Their rules. They rejected Apple's app in other words.

- The "all sales are final" part is not used in the right context, but his concept is right. Many credit card companies do offer extra coverage and protection against defective or broken devices. I haven't seen a bank that offers this kind of protection through debit transactions.10-27-2014 09:53 AMLike 0

- What concept? You get your money back if it isn't you spending it... The extra coverage is a bunch of BS on most cases requires you to pay the full price and If I remember the terms can't even be on sale. Chase only requires some sort of charge on their cards but the others require all.
The fellow you posted said nothing about money you didn't spend. Not sure where you're pulling that from. He mentioned nothing about scams at all, nor did I. You seem to be wandering aimlessly.10-27-2014 01:08 PMLike 0 - The coverage from companies like Visa is usually extremely good. Nothing to do with being on sale or not. I think you're extremely confused here.

Having paid cash you have no recourse if they sold junk and won't accept the return in a way satisfactory to you. VISA absolutely holds them to a standard. And since they can move the money back you have some leverage you would not have with cash. Regardless of this allowing debit at checkout (which is the default) you pay a fee and they don't. That alone is a reason not to use debit and use visa trans instead. The protection is real and can be very helpful.10-27-2014 03:57 PMLike 0
