I have a question regarding paying with Amex. Went yesterday to Ditsch (official partner for Apple Pay) and tried to pay with my Amex Payback CC but it didn't work. Does anybody know if the partner has to accept the credit card company or should work Apple Pay everywhere?
Got a tip for us?

Apple Partners do not have to accept every Card from the program. AFAIK. Please correct me. This would be fat away from being realistic.
Ok, thanks. I'll have a look tomorrow if there are any CC stickers at Ditsch Shops.
The newer cards use QR + Tan. And for sending you can use the card by itself.
BTW. I used the first Packstation ever built in Darmstadt as I was working for Deutsche Post in a Project at that Time.
Don‘t the new cards use 2/5 (ITF) and DataMatrix code with 2/5 being the relevant/primary code or am I missing something?
My new card certainly doesn‘t have a QR code, otherwise it could be natively supported by wallet.

For sure, it would be nice if every card would be accepted everywhere but why dl you guys think, that Apple Pay Partners have to accept ever Card issuer?! Those are two different things.
Kaufland and Lidl for example supports AMEX since this year. Without any AMEX Partnership and the same can be happen vice versa.
Again some uncomfort (is that even a word?) with comdirect...
You guys might remember I payed (and showed) two days ago how I payed at Kaufland and McDonals but only saw it on the watch wallte...
Well... weird thing is I got a push notification this morning showing only McDonalds (second stop)
Weird, right?

Their Visa backend is still outdated, they said once that they’re planning live transaction overview for the visa for the beginning of 2019. Let’s hope they stick to that and they probably should since there are many customers that changed to comdirect from SPK or Voba because of Apple Pay and have now noticed the delayed transactions list and the missing support for VPay in Apple Pay - their own forum is full of complaints about that.
Also, they’re under more pressure from the other two direct banks - ING has full push notification support for both Visa and girocard, DKB has card control and push for Visa.

Besides other banks, I think comdirect does a good work in implementing and improving their software. They bring regular updates were they bring new neat and actual usable features.Live transaction overview is a must-have feature
I also added a few cards but dhl, payback and ikea are all grouped as one in the wallet and you need to swipe left/right...
Can you somehow set it up that the passes are not grouped?
Dear happy (german) Apple Pay users: Any information for the missing countries in europe? Austria, The Netherlands...
Here is the wanted information: Austria and the Netherlands share borders with Germany, you can find them in the south-east and the west of Germany, they are not missing
and no futher information regarding Apple Pay at these countries.
and no futher information regarding Apple Pay at these countries.
There are infos from multiple sources and banks from Austria, Czech Republic, Slovenia and Croatia about a launch in early 2019.
In the Czech R. Moneta - their largest fintech confirmed the launch, in Austria it was Raiffeisenbank who said that they’re waiting for Apple to give them the go in early 2019, in Slovenia the local branches of UniCredit and Intesa Sanpaolo both confirmed Apple and Google Pay for early 2019 and in Croatia the largest bank (an Intesa Sanpaolo branch) has also told the press that the measures for an Apple Pay Launch have already been taken and is to be expected soon (they also launched Google Pay as the first bank in the region).
I think that these infos are pretty credible, since they’re coming from local branches of banks that already support Apple Pay in other countries and therefore are expected to offer it in other countries as well.
The Netherlands seems to be the toughest market for Apple though - the biggest issue here is the almost 99% market share of Maestro in cashless POS payments - and the costs for the transactions have been capped at about 0,01 to 0,02 per ONE transaction by the DNB. This leaves almost nothing to the banks and Apple is as we all know pretty keen on getting their piece of the cake, but there is no pieces left if the bank only gets a piece themselves as well instead of a cake or a half of a cake :/

Short OT: Komercni Banker (SocGen) in CZ have already had cards working - customers were able to add them, but then got deleted after this went public. Must have opened up the BIN range for all, not just the internal testers...

BTT: By the way there are other threads on MacRumours covering other EU countries...
Warm feelings to everyone in a not-yet-started country from my side, though! We know all too well how this feels!
I have not found an option for that. I believe they are grouped by App that put them in. Happened to me with LH Tickets, too.
My DHL Card has two Codes on the back, one "normal" and one QR.
Have not been to the Packstation with the new added wallet thing, so cannot tell you if it works.

yeah, I consider that really annoying... did I do something wrong? All pass2u cards are stacked like that... thought upgrading to the pro would help but it did not
Write feedback to the comdirect support at twitter or via mail only then we change something. I wrote them already and asked for realtime notifications and girocard Support for Apple pay

I tried VIMpay as someone mentioned it here and I like VIMpay more. The App is better and you have Blitzaufladung. With boon you have to wait until the money is transferred
If you use a credit card to top up the money is available instantly on boon.

Don't know what you mean. This cashback is higher compared to the last one and was available in the same form around summer. I can't see a decline.And so the rate of cashback carries on declining
Yes but Comdirect has a Visa Credit. Ich will das so, dass das Geld direkt abgebucht ist von meinem Konto, das geht bei boon nicht aber bei VIMpay da die das sofort vom „richtigen“ Konto nehmen
