Anyone underwhelmed by Wallet app?

[Lifetimechaldo]

STILL cant add gift cards (even ones like Target and Macys that have apps) unless you use the Gyft app. Why go through a 3rd party app when the devs for these companies should just add wallet support in the first place?

In the last keynote they made a big deal that you can now add rewards cards and stuff to it, but i just got a plenti card, and see no option to add it to wallet. smh.

If anything, you should be taking issue with the third party companies and their lack of use with Apple, not Apple.

Apple did not state all rewards cards or all gift cards.

Im just saying, there should be a better way to add these kinds of things. Here is a list of cards i have not been able to add to Wallet:

Target gift card (had to use Gyft to add it)
Qudoba loyalty card (had to go through some wired 3rd party online service to add it)
Plenti (no way currently to add it)
Macy's credit card (no way to add it)
Flagstar bank card (Not supported by apple pay yet)
Rite aid wellness card (no way to add it)
CVS loyalty card (no way to add it)

vs the cards i have been able to add:

2x visa credit cards
AMC movie card + Fandango tickets
MLB tickets
7-11 rewards card

These companies don't want you to use Wallet. They want you to use their own apps because it gives them the chance to market to you and gather more data about you. Wallet is good for the consumer not good for the salesman.
