Personally I find it is increasingly the exception that a place won't take contactless now.
Maybe full service restaurants and stuff like that. However many places which claim Apple Pay or GPay, don't seem to actually have them operational.
And I'm not even doing the Samsung Gear S3 MST thing, which can supposedly work wherever swiping can work.
I figure I'd have to spend 10k to make up the cost of buying one of those ($200 device / 2% advantage over other payment methods), given that I wouldn't normally use that over my regular old school watches.
Can't see this benefit lasting as the technology gets more widely adopted.
USB is going to have to cap it or reduce the rate.
