Depends, I've had a horrible time with Barclays personally and this is just another in a long line of crap, doubt I will leave but it doesn't improve how I see them as a bank.

"and everywhere else contactless is accepted"
There was nothing wrong with what he posted.

Which is incorrect as the C&P solution for the convenience store company I work for and support isn't working as of today
And since the company which gives us our solution also supplies 3 other national brands at the very least I would say a fair few won't work

But, as I said, it should work.

But it doesn't
All going to plan we should be phasing it in at the end of July

I do have 1 slight obstacle.
Since Barclays isn't on it yet, the only card that works is Amex, which is fine for most places, but the places that I frequent locally don't accept it. So I am back with the old wallet and card all the same until Barclays get on board and activated.

Can Apple Pay be used in any shop that already accepts contactless card payments, or just those companies signed up which are listed on the Apple site?
If it is any shop, then cool! But then why is there a list of crappy participating shops on Apple's website if every shop that has contactless accepts it?

As it says, it should work anywhere that accepts contactless - some places don't have the Apple Pay sign up yet but it still works, it's just some companies have obviously paid to advertise on Apple's site that they accept it as to make people more aware.
I wonder if Apple will say what the first day usage was like; it seemed like a lot of people tested it out.

You're incorrect
Any wireless terminal will support it
Yeah, should do. I used my American CC on various UK NFC terminals months ago on the day it was release day in America.
As long as your card can be saved in passbook you should be all set I believe.

He is correct several models of contactless terminals on old firmware will not support Apple Pay. Some don't even have a firmware/software update available yet to support Apple Pay. He has mentioned that his job is to support these systems, what makes you think he is incorrect ?

Which shouldn't be an issue if you're shopping anywhere but "Dave's Newsagents"

Several major retailers don't support it either.

The question is whether a retailer who doesn't accept Amex but accept contactless (Apple Pay) will accept Apple Pay with only Amex registered.

Used it this morning on the commute into work. Opened passbook as I walked to gate, popped my thumb on then held phone to the card reader. No delay, in fact appeared slightly faster than contactless with my AMEX, but naturally a smidgen slower than Oyster.

There are lots of Oyster card app not the App Store, which one do you use?
Man of Honour
I don't use Oyster anymore, I only do a zone 2 > 1 and zone 1 > zone 2 journey so it works out cheaper to use contactless rather than Oyster. So I just added my AMEX to passbook and pay using that.
Bit of a novelty, though, as it's easier to whip my contactless card out, but useful if I forget/leave it at home.
