I understand there will be some people happy to delete this app because they just don’t use it.

On the other hand, I would never think of deleting it. I’ve used it when it became available and has been such a huge convenience for other things aside of using it for purchases!

Same here. I use the wallet apps for making purchases with Pay as well as use cards for Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Walgreens, CVS, my auto insurance card, and a few others. It’s a daily use app for me.

I'm so used to pulling out my banking card. I need to make a effort to use my phone more.

Love the wallet app so much I got rid of my physical one. It holds everything including my AAA card CVS, Stop and Shop as well as my debit and Apple Card and a few others. I keep my license and Med card under my phone case and everything else in a scanner app

Drop my iPhone in my leather hip case and go!

I use the wallet app almost daily with my Apple Watch. Apple Cash card, debit card, Walgreens reward card and more.

Definitely see if you can make it happen TGeekB. A ways back I was right where you are. Me/all of us being creatures of habit. Then I started using the Wallet/Apple Pay. Didn’t take long before it was my main method used almost always for paying (I don’t like the few places that don’t have Apple Pay. Seriously Walmart?). I talked my neighbors into it, eventually, who were most definitely ‘physical card in hand’ people. Once they started they also became mainly Apple Pay. It was only more recently I started using the Wallet for more than Apple Pay (my membership cards).

Imho Apple Wallet is one of the best and most useful features to come to iPhone. Hopefully it works out as well for you.

I’m using Apple Pay (and Wallet) regularly. Tim Rewards card, PC Optimum, payments, you name it, it’s just there.

Most places I go just take contactless payments without any conditions. Only gas stations and - for some reason - some Shopper’s Drug Mart locations don’t want to take Apple Pay anymore, even if they do contactless.

If you have a WaWa store near you, it takes Pay at the gas pumps - at least it does here in Orlando.

I never heard of WaWa. Sorry

The only thing that comes to mind is Wawanesa, which is (used to be?) an insurance company.

About 75% of iPhone users in the US have activated Apple Pay. Don’t think the wallet is going anywhere.

I can't imagine being without the wallet app! The convenience the wallet app offers is significant. And once my state allows me to store my digital driver's license, it will be unreplaceable.

I looked at their map, and they come nowhere close to where I live. Only some Petro-Canada and Ultramar locations take Apple Pay, but will get there... eventually
