In other news, how many here think Kroger's going to disable contactless at soon to be legacy Safeway and Albertsons locations as soon as their deal with the latter completes? I mean, you'd think they'd just keep it enabled at Safeway/Albertsons (considering how long they've accepted it) but it's unfortunately not out of the realm of possibility.
do you happen to know when the merger supposed to happen? All we have near Phoenix is Frys, albertson's and safeway. A few smaller chains mixed in

They said “contactless payment systems”. I wouldn’t be surprised if that actually means they’re working on some QR based payment system similar to walmart pay rather than enabling nfc contactless.

I mean, while it is possible, the rumor about getting it at the pump makes this less likely IMO.

IIRC it's supposed to take a couple of years to close. Given that they enabled it at Ralphs, I suspect Kroger will keep it enabled at Albertsons and Safeway even if they don't enable it at any of the other legacy Kroger locations.

Lowe’s claims they added Apple Pay on the web and app, however it doesn’t work for me. They are supposed to be adding it to stores later this year too.

Correct, here’s an article from appleosphy on that. No one seems to have tested it yet, though, except for you. It seems everyone else, including the authors of the article, saw the option amd assumed it worked.

I was just told by an associate that the option is only available for 5% of customers right now, but will be ramping up in the customers in the next few weeks, and also that it will be in store within a few months.

A.C. Moore is defunt, so I have remove that from the list of unsupported.

Also added Taco Bueno, Fuzzy's Taco Shop, Graybars, and others.

I haven't seen this reported here before - apologies if I missed it.

Both the USPS web site and the USPS app now have Apple Pay as a payment method. I just used it on my iPad to pay for a click-n-ship label.

The tweet I saw said the location was in Newport, which is in Kentucky, and I think the only Kroger stores in Kentucky are actual Kroger's. Maybe he's BS'ing, who knows. But there was another person who said two weeks ago that a Kroger division would start adding apple pay in two weeks, so it tracks. Also, there are three other uses reporting the same thing. I wish I had a Kroger near me so I could check myself. I imagine will get more reports in the next few days if it's true.

Here's a report.
