Exactly! Why would someone who is getting rewards on the CC or debit, want to give them up for some cents off?

CurrentC's biggest problem is the motivation behind it - avoiding CC fees as opposed to offering the consumer convenience or real benefits. If they were simply wanted to attract more business, they could have partnered with Google or Apple.

THey haven't said they'll offer discounts to use CurrentC have they?

You know pass on some or all of the savings from eliminating credit card fees?

Used this last night at Whole Foods.

Really, really smooth and simple. Surprising, even.

CurrentC sucks. CVS was both everywhere and had plenty of cheap $1~ items for ISIS wallet.

I remember years ago citi mailed me "blink" keychains, which supposed to work the same way. Don't know if they were NFC or RFID or any other tech, but will there be a way to utilize both Apple Pay and Softcard (without carrying two phones) effectively? If Iphone6 gets its jailbreak, will the NFC be accessible to Softcard?
My ideal dual setup will be Iphone 6 with CDMA postpaid with applepay with GSM prepaid Softcard Sim both working at the same time

Last night I got a fraud alert from Chase. Declined my charge at Whole Foods.

Granted, I had been charging a lot.

But when I called, the explanation was, they wanted to be sure I had the card in my possession. I did. But that didn't matter. This was Apple Pay.

Guess Chase hasn't updated their fraud algorithm yet. I was kinda thinking these fraud alerts would be a thing of the past.

Of course, to verify me, they asked for the three digit code on the back of my card. In theory, I could have not had that and yet been trying to use the card perfectly legitimately.

Jeez... do some reading next time before making false claims.
Sheep are clueless.
