Apple Pay Launch - How will it be activated?
- Thread starter Steve_bullockuk
- Start date
Some of the supermarkets have been shameful at rolling the tech out. I'm also annoyed at this who say they support Apple Pay when they don't (i.e there is still a payment limit when there shouldn't be).
Many supermarket transactions would be above the limit, so why bother spending the cash unless you need to.
Pretty sure that's a UK banks/VISA thing not an Apple Pay thing.
Lloyds emailed me today saying its coming soon, hopefully soon is this week!
you can try to add Lloyds cards to apple pay and you get the T&Cs so thats a good sign.
limitless Apple Pay is cool, i used my watch to pay for £1250 in the Apple store a few weeks ago.

I'm not sure on that as some places in the UK are accepting payments above the limit. Nando's and the Apple store are two examples.

Payment limits are at the retailers or merchant terminal providers discretion
A big retailer is able to remove the limit but smaller retailers may not be able to if they are covered by the rules of the merchant terminal provider
Also people up use mPOS e.g. iZettle can also remove the contactless limit so it is certainly not a bank or VISA/MasterCard thing.

I've noticed Apple Pay appearing local to me. I can use it at both the Post Office and Co-op, a third of our shops support it. 
Shame i'm a customer at the loony bPay bank.

all shops that accept contactless will take apple pay, even if they don't have the apple pay symbol

I now only use it when I forget my wallet (that is very useful).
I personally don't see the benefit of contactless on phone (Android or iOS) when using a card is quicker day to day use. I use contactless daily for coffees, tubes, lunch etc. As I stated before it is very frustrating for use on tube as the lag and holding up people beyond you is annoying.

The watch makes it so much faster, and also on the tube if you have the phone already verified with TouchID before you reach the gate its as fast as oyster. Apple Pay on Apple watch is as fast as using a contactless card, if not faster as its on your wrist and is a simple double click on the side button

I used it on the tube and was as fast as everyone else? Double tap when the screen is off, hold finger on home button, press on yellow pad, ding and you're through?
Does anyone find themselves unsure if a shop can take contactless? Many times I've bought something, they have scanned the items and asked for the total but there's no contactless symbols on the counter anywhere and the card terminal is still displaying "Welcome to XYZ"

Most shops that accept contactless have upgraded their chip&pin pads to the Ingenico iPP350 so if they have this then they are capable of contactless even if they don't actually have it yet.
Well that looks like the unit they had in Next today but didn't see anything about contactless. Also this page shows that they don't accept it.

Is it possible for the shops to disable such a feature?

Probably. As it probably depends whats in their merchant contract.
