In general, however, if tap is enabled, mobile wallets will work too.
But that's the case always - I'm only speaking about where my CC would in theory work but won't because of PIN but where the merchant does support contactless payments. In the US, I know stores that don't take Amex but support contactless. When I use Google Pay, it won't work if I use my Amex either
