They may make it hard to use or make it so there's still some way to track you. Like entering a phone number or scanning a loyalty card before the NFC would activate.

Also Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage got breached somehow: http://www.naturalgrocers.com/store-info/blog/statement-recent-payment-card-security-incident but "The company has accelerated the upgrade of the point-of-sale system in all of its store locations to include new pin pads and a PCI-compliant system that provides point-to-point encryption and chip and PIN card technology. The company is in the process of installing this new system at all 93 Natural Grocers stores in 15 states." Which they currently have Verifone MX860, so hopefully they upgrade to MX915 or MX925 so we can use Contactless too, especially since it should just work on a brand new pos.
Every place I know of that turned on Chip & PIN also turned on contactless payments, which generally means, YES FOR APPLE PAY! The only ones I see not doing that are those god awful MCX members., who will turn on Chip & PIN, but not bother with contactless, their terminals will instead show a QR Code that you would scan.
Many MCX members also block the emv slot if they don't have emv on yet in a addition to turning off contactless (Hy-Vee, Target, and maybe Michaels for the emv slot blockage) While others like Whole Foods don't block the emv slot and have the contactless turned on. Also has anyone tested Jersey Mike's Subs recently, as I've heard they do have the Ingenico ISC250's with an update pushed to allow contactless to work, although I've read that Apple Pay, Visa, Amex work, but MC declines and not sure about Google Wallet, which I will try soon myself.
With the new Apple Watch announcement comes many future places that will take Apple Pay / Google Wallet: https://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/apple-watch-event0065.jpg Ones near me are GameStop, Casey's General Store, Fuddruckers, and Jersey Mike's Subs. 
Apple Pay will now be accepted by 700,000 merchants after only short time of the existence of Apple Pay, which shows that places that accept it will keep going up. I'm no longer worried about MCX members, as its their own loss.

They will learn soon enough, soon even Best Buy will enable it. If they were smart they would let CurrentC out already.With the new Apple Watch announcement comes many future places that will take Apple Pay / Google Wallet: https://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/apple-watch-event0065.jpg Ones near me are GameStop, Casey's General Store, Fuddruckers, and Jersey Mike's Subs.

100,000 Coca-Cola vending machines in North America will accept Apple Pay by the end of 2015.

Anyone else think that there should be a top level forum for Apple Pay discussions?

Really? That's a shame, although out of all the places I used Apple Pay, it was hit or miss if they'd let me actually use the NFC reader (the customer-facing pin pad was often not customer-facing).
Weird. I tried to use it the other day and couldn't. It was quite embarrassing as I didn't have another form of payment. I left hungry and grumpy. Instead went to DR next door and got something to eat. So maybe they are clearly not training their employees on how to take this form of payment. I don't want them touching my card with their hands or with the food gloves on.
Some subway employees are the pits, and try to make it hard. It depends on the store and the employees attitudes. I've been told no, and then I showed them it did work.
You just tell them credit as it also allows you to swipe, otherwise neither will work, its pretty much that way same at most places. Unless they have it behind the counter, then that is not the norm for Subway, although a few may still do that.
At mom and pop places that accept Apple Pay, that keep it behind the counter have no problem handing it to me when I hold my phone up. I love it. Everyone is satisfied, the store gets to keep their counter space clutter free and I still get to pay with my phone.
For people who don't know the store can do this though, they'll probably pull out a card before they inquire about Apple Pay, which is a usability nightmare.
I usually walk over to the credit machines, instruct them if they don't know and tap with the case of the VX520, because the locations have so far been easy for me to get to, but yeah everyone wins, and it costs them nothing more than what they pay already. So it seems Starbucks has begun to install Verifone pinpad's for EMV is the USA, and I've heard that they use Verifone VX820's with EMV & Contactless turned on in Canada, so hopefully here they will get that both their own mobile payments and NFC can coexist together. http://seekingalpha.com/news/236128...-post-earnings-starbucks-landed-as-emv-client
Their own mobile payments system is the only way people will be able to gain rewards so I'm sure it'll still see high use over Apple Pay.
The people who will be paying with Apple Pay at Starbucks are the ones who would normally pay with their cards/cash anyway because they don't care about rewards.
I'm excited to see the PIN pads at Starbucks. Hope more quick service restaurants follow suit.
Albertson's in my area has new POS terminals. The old one was the 'fat' card reader, the new one is the slimmer ones.
This is even better than the Home Depot, it doesn't ask pin (you can hit X to go as credit in Home Depot).
There's 4 dots on the screen, green on the left, the other 3 are empty circles.
Just used it now. Fast check out!

They either use MX915(Compact) or MX925(Large) and all four light up when reading a contactless card, Here at the Nike Store for example: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/38348368/0312151718.jpg (MX925). Also Fuddruckers only upgraded a third of their total stores, which means only ones listed on the Paypass locator probably only have it, so the local one doesn't support it. I guess I should probably put them as accepting contactless, but some locations only.
AT&T Retail Store
Tried to use
Pay at an AT&T Company Store. I got the "Done" with a check mark. But then it got declined. Swiped the same card and it was happy. Does anyone know the reason for this?

No, it was portable one. No, it was Chase Freedom VISA Signature. I used this card via
Pay successfully at Whole Foods last week.
Almost thought CVS changed sides. Saw they had new terminals for contactless payment and held iPhone up. Apple Pay came up and asked if I wanted to pay with Touch ID. It proceeded and said Done. But, transaction did not go thru.
Didn't think it would go that far--
