It worked at Eddie Bauer today...
in Columbus, Ohio (at Easton). The clerk didn't know if it would work and was surprised that it did - no problem. He then asked me where else it's working in town
.
Also, it worked at Meijer in Columbus a couple of days ago. This was at a store where it didn't work last week. It was even the same Self-Check register I think.

App idea
Wonder if my app would be rejected if I submitted a "Supports ApplePay" app? It could use geolocation to tell you there is a store nearby or perhaps the store you are in would popup with a notification. Use pin drops to show you nearby stores that support Apple Pay.
yathink?

I find it funny that the app doesn't show Whole Foods or Panera on it and I used it a few times at both.
Ive used it on vending machines at the Scott Air Force Base...felt strange to charge 1.50 to my credit card. My bank doesn't accept it yet.
I was at Wendys and they had a sign out saying you can pay with your phone, but looked like you have to download their app to pay.

Strange? Here in our side of the U.S., people charge 50 cents to CCs without even batting an eye. I rarely carry cash and when I do it's because somebody owed me money or gave me money.

I just always saw credit cards for large item purchases. That might be why I'm in debt if it only charged .50 , I would be ok

Second that, bought a car wash there, unfortunately the wash didn't do that great of a job.
Also, debit cards only here. You can still use Apple Pay, as long as it's a debit card, and you have to enter your PIN
I was at a Jewel-Osco (a Midwest supermarket owned by Albertsons) today, and as I was doing self-checkout, I noticed that there was one of the newer Verifone screens/numberpads. I decided to hold my phone up to the screen just to see what would happen, and lo and behold, ApplePay activated, and I was able to pay for my groceries without pulling out my wallet! Not sure if this is in all of the stores yet though.
I just used it at Michael's and Rubios, and ARCO AMPM this morning. None of these places showed the NFC logo, except for ARCO.
I think not having the logo is going to be a usability nightmare!

Went to Walgreens last night. Perfect experience. I even signed up for one of their rewards programs, because I intend to shop there more often now. haha.
Additionally, can anyone confirm any gas stations that have NFC terminals at the pump? Per the mastercard app, there is NFC at the Kum & Go gas station, but I checked one next to the walgreens last night and there was no NFC at the pump. I realized they probably have NFC inside, but there's no way I'll go inside just for the "convenience" of using apple pay
Walgreen reward is a joke. They never give you any rewards. I have been using Walgreen app for 3 years and never got any damn rewards!

I don't have any issues with rewards at Walgreens, get your prescriptions filled there, and that's 1,000 points each time.

Pay at my local Jewel/Osco (Algonquin, IL) twice so far without a problem. Once was the day that it went live- I did the same experiment you did and was happy with the result. On the Pay site, Jewel/Osco and some other related brands (Shaw's and Star Market) are now listed as official partners.

Same thing happened to me today. The cashier said their computers were too old, but also told me that Wells Fargo cards with their terminals have been hit and miss with ApplePay
This was also the case with my local Staples. After they upgraded to new computers, Apple pay worked flawlessly there. Their old computers were ugly and beige, and their new ones are black and sleek.
