Have you used Apple Pay?

[comiken205]

The reason I ask is because my iPhone saved me an embarrassment at the drive through for a fast food restaurant. I was running late for work so decided to stop by and get some food and coffee. Once my order was taken, I proceeded to drive up to the window. I reached for my wallet and my back pocket was empty! I panicked for 2 seconds until I realized I had my iPhone with me and the vendor took Apple Pay.

So I quickly paid for my food and drink using my iPhone saving me an embarrassment while multiple vehicles were waiting behind me. This isn't the first time I've used my iPhone for payment but it was the first time using it because I forgot my wallet at home.

Glad you had your phone with you!

I indeed have used it before, it's simply fantastic!
And the most amazing thing about it is that not only does it work where merchants accept Apple Pay, but everywhere contactless payments are accepted (Flash Interac or PayPass, I believe they're called).

I use it all the time in the UK. Used it about 4 times today. The car park i was in had a contactless reader on it so even used it there. All the shops I use now are all contactless. It's really quick to use and totally safe!!

I use apple pay every chance I get. It super easy. It's easier than having to use the chip on my debit card

 

[TurboTiger]

Wherever I can:
Subway, Whole Foods, Panera Bread.
And any other place that accepts it.
Good Luck

I use it mainly at Dunkin Donuts and at Walgreens. Very easy to use.

I use my iPhone 6S plus wherever tap to pay is available. The only issue I've ever had is a machine with the raised sides so that others can't see you entering your PIN. I think I wasn't holding it close enough or the machine couldn't detect my phone for some other reason. I never see the Apple Pay logo anywhere but use it to pay at any tap machine. (I'm in Canada.)

Yes! Pretty amazing, it's the future of payment where we no longer physical cards

 

[Just_Me_D]

Yes. I use Pay almost every day, especially during lunch while at work.

I use it anywhere it's accepted

I was just about to post that. This is the future folks...we need to embrace it. Although I think cash will always be around, I think within the next 10 years, most major establishments will not accept it. By the year 2050, we will all have "chips" in our hand to scan.....lol

I use Apple Pay frequently. In fact, I used it earlier this afternoon when I was out shopping and stopped at Panera to pick up lunch. I find it very convenient. Never left my wallet home when I needed to shop, but it's definitely a perk to be able to use Apple Pay at certain places.

I use it all the time - so much so I often don't even carry a wallet with me. It's always fun watching old people stand on in amazement :laughing:. I only wish you could withdraw cash from an ATM with it!

 

[paulxxwall]

I use where it's available which unfortunately not everywhere

If the merchant's terminated works with contactless payment, you're good to go!

I have used it, and I have a love/hate relationship with Apple Pay... it's fantastic, but sometimes it makes spending money too easy. Best Buy taking Apple Pay on their app makes spontaneous splurging too simple. DoorDash also takes Apple Pay, so sudden inconvenient cravings are too easy to satisfy!

 

[DINGSTER1]

I now use it at Giant for groceries. I'm with jmr1015 on the too easy bit though.

So I just used Apple Pay at Smart N final. It worked. They didn't have any signs advertising it but the employee told me they accept Samsung pay, so I figured if they accept Samsung pay then it should take Apple Pay and it did. I'm glad. So much easier to use.

I've used Apple Pay once, and that was at an Apple Store when I bought the AppleCare+ protection for my Eye Phone. I tried it another time at KMart but it didn't work - the cashier said their terminals are outdated.

Yea I don't think K-Mart accepts Apple Pay. Once you start using it you soon realized it's so much easier and convenient
