I don't use Apple Pay to avoid carrying a card.
I do use Apple Pay because sometimes its easier than getting the card out of my wallet. But mainly because I think its more secure.
Apple Pay is 'supposed to be' more secure than using your card as the merchant never actually gets your CC number. So, remembering the time Target had Credit Cards hacked and all the hassle that caused, I feel it is more secure than a CC, and definitely better than using a Debit Card.
I would prefer to use Apple Pay more, like with Hotels, but it seems to be difficult, and we have seen how hotel data systems have been breached as well.
I also wish my grocery store would accept Apple Pay.
