Most people don't know that Apple Pay isn't the same as regular contactless, doesn't help when stores don't enable it properly.

That was my first point, most people don't know it's not the same as regular contactless which has the £45 limit. My second point I meant in general where stores haven't enabled limitless Apple Pay on their card machines.
Asda still not supporting over £45 with Apple Pay, I mentioned it last Friday to the woman on the til and she didn't even know Apple Pay supported over £45 ANYWHERE.
That’s odd, I’m sure the plastic things on the tills that mention the £45 contactless limit say they support over that for device payments.
I spent above £45 via contactless before Christmas in a local store.
They might be increasing the limit to £100 from the current £45
Contactless limit could rise to £100
The financial regulator will consult "shortly" on a rise from the current limit of £45.

Went today and they’ve now enabled limitless Apple Pay, they even had signs on all the machines. 👍🏻
About time!!! I’ll have to go and check mine. Asda is one of the only places where my Amex fails both contactless with the card and through Apple Pay.
Does anyone know if AMEX works through Apple Pay or contactless now?Yep, our local Asda has had over £45 Apple Pay for about 4 weeks now. Saves us having to take a wallet and card and disinfect them when getting home
I think they mean does AmEx work at Asda. We haven't been there for over a year but at that point they didn't accept AmEx contactless via card or Apple Pay - always had to use chip/PIN or use another card.
Ah OK.
I do know that some AmEx cards wouldn’t work with contactless at Tesco fuel pumps for a long time, but that got fixed.
So many retailers don’t accept AmEx at all so partly for that reason I’ve gone back to using a Visa card.
It works when I use my physical card and enter the pin, it just doesn't work when I use contactless or Apple Pay for some reason
Asda + Contactless Amex is still a no go since last Sunday I'm afraid.
Is there an easy way to contact someone at Asda to have a little grumble about Amex not working? 😅
In other news contactless is being upped to £100. Should be useful for those places they still don’t allow HVP.

I wondered if they had a form on their website to feedback about AmEx but it appears not 😂.
