I took an Uber yesterday and used Apple Pay in the app. The app acknowledged the Touch ID authorization (for $0.01) extremely quickly, unlike with the Starbucks app. That might be because I wasn't charged until after the ride finished, though.
I guess the point is that it might be Starbucks IT that makes reloads slower than they should be. I'll have to see next time I use something like Panera.
BTW I can't seem to remove cards from Uber. Anyone run into that issue before?

Seems like a pretty big oversight on their part to not make sure that functionality works. I'll probably just use Apple Pay from now on so I don't have to add any other cards to it.

BTW I think the MC map updated based on the results I'm getting in their mobile app (the website is having issues so I can't confirm there). The Dollar Tree by my house is weirdly on there now despite contactless seemingly not working there. There are also a few more local places on there now that I'd like to try at some point.

I was at Dollar Tree this week - no evidence of NFC which I could swear was there in the past. Samsung Pay came up as "swiped" on the receipt.

TMIW, Can you bulk add all Zia Record Exchanges in Arizona? All of them have EMV/PIN/NFC on PAX s30 PIN pads.
The dumb part is, despite the attached pen, they still insist on signing receipts. Also, a customer tried to hand over his card and then the cashier had to REACH OVER to put it into the slot. The PIN pad was fairly obvious facing you and the guy still tried to hand the card over....are people that oblivious?
They support PIN Debit AID as well.
PS: another place I can't just seem to find a new business opened up called 360 Thrift, has Vx805 PIN Pads all properly facing the customer. Apple Paid with no problem. It was tied directly into their POS.

1. The PIN pad alone isn't enough, capturing and storing signatures is a mess. If most of their transactions don't need a signature, it makes sense not to bother.

Since changing out the case on my Note 4, I've had more consistent success with Android Pay.
A new location of Tender Greens opened at the Stanford Shopping center. They had the Vivo Pay readers. I didn't get the original charge slip that I signed, but it said R for entry method. I think that was covered earlier meaning RFID?
I then used Android Pay at Kate Spade. The locations I've been to recently all seem to be EMV enabled/accept contactless payments.

BTW the search box accepts addresses as well, not just business names; you'll just have to enter the business name by hand before pushing Add. I've had to do this a few times for new businesses that Google doesn't know about yet.

Re: Kate Spade, I'll see about adding the remainder as unconfirmed (and Safeway, Hy-Vee and Goodwill too).

BTW I'm going to the Bay Area for a work trip the last full week of this month. I don't know if I'll have time to manage it but I'll try to go to a New Leaf location and see how well contactless actually works with Quick Chip. Considering that Visa worked with them to be the first store to adopt it, I'm betting they have EMV contactless.
