I can third the Amex Apple Pay at CVS. Used it three times today. No problems. My receipts also said MS.

Visited CVS and tapped contactless AmEx Card. Long term employee says, "Apple Pay doesn't work here." I said "oh" as I was pressing the "CREDIT" option on the keypad.
Then it went to processing and the employee looked at the screen curiously. When it started printing the receipt she said "well it didn't work a week ago the last time someone tried it." Then she went and told the store manager who was nearby that "Apple Pay works now."

I think they won't stop working for a while, but my credit union activated Android pay and then deactivated it citing verification issues. They were added officially to the list of supported banks got my credit and debit added. Downside is it won't work now at CVS/Longs

I stopped by Subway tonight for dinner and I wanted to say that the black pads next to their card terminals do contain NFC readers (pic here). In order to eliminate the possibility of a read from the actual card terminal I held the phone horizontally and approached the black pad's surface from the left. As soon as the top of my phone met the left edge of the black pad's surface, the card terminal received the signal. I think that's sufficient evidence that the black pad contains an NFC reader, though I wont assume what its other capabilities are.

Well I am trying again for the contactless Citi card. I called and they said they could send me a contactless card (can't be a sticker since those were discontinued in May) priority overnight for $6. Do I did, should be here Monday or Tuesday. Will let you know of the results.

I also believe Subway are using a semi-integrated setup. What makes me curious though is that prior to EMV being enabled, all the card info was on the primary receipt and not on a separate charge slip.

I was at Subway this week, paid with EMV credit card (MasterCard), all card info was on the primary receipt. There was no separate charge slip.
