It's somewhat strange as my Santander Visa Debit card allowed me as far as the AP Ts & Cs...
Yep that's made a launch today much more likely, first videos / photos I've seen of it working in the UK / on the tube (and the U.K. card shows they've worked with Apple).
Also it looks like Boots have been putting up posters overnight (see the wall in the background)! I'll be impressed if it's that well advertised in all their stores!

gotta laugh
hahaha how many times will you need to use apple pay to buy a £120 pair of trainers? and is that how the shopping experience will go. Hold touch ID sir, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, eh and again sir, again, one more time... and here is your shopping sir have a nice day.
have boots started paying uk taxes yet or are they still off loading everything abroad?
Not really, Barclays won't have T&C's as they're not supporting it yet. The rest are, so there's a first step that can be taken on their server.
Noticed the Boots store advertising behind the checkout days 'Apple Pay now available in this store". So it's a proper PR setup. Looking forward to trying it out later today.
She had a UK debit card in passbook though...They probably set it to auto publish at midnight. It's mostly info you can already find...

They were talking about some Santander cards not even bringing up the T&Cs.
Also who knew Boots accepts so many kinds of card! Didn't even know we have Discover here in the U.K.
Sorry I meant it strange my 123 CC tells me it's not supported but my Visa Debit card progresses to the terms (not it strange Barclay's failing to work.)
She'll have been given a device by Apple that has been setup in advance.
Yea, there's been a bunch of promo pics showing U.K. Apple Pay floating around, there were some on Apple's site.
But then you have a feature launching at different times for different people. we have seen the file was updated last at 8pm. I don't know what was added then, but let's say that 8pm is therefore one of many possible times Apple can update the file to release a new feature.If you have no connection, or if it's off, then it checks when you turn on.
If you had internet off from 11pm to 9pm the next day, you would get the feature (added to the file at 8pm) at 9pm when you turn Internet on. Others would get it later at midnight.
Can anyone else refresh the Json file?
Was doing it straight away for me all day but now been refs hung for last few minutes.
Update:false alarm. Slow internet.

Apple's PR will have dished out pics and will have worked with the shops/banks to provide them with PR pics for signs/leaflets/displays, etc weeks ago.
Also, Apple PR made them available to newspapers/sites, for their articles since they announced it.
Was thinking the same thing, I couldn't use my watch to pay through the barriers I'd have to get my phone out.
Well no, the feature would launch at 1 time. The only people getting it after that time, are the ones that didn't have their phones on or had no signal, but they would get it as soon as they did....
