ARCO has had a debit card surcharge for as long as I can remember. I don't think your complaint will matter since I doubt your transaction was processed over the Visa network; every time I've gone there they ask for PIN so I suspect they only support the PIN debit networks.

Found a pizza shop that was contactless enabled according to the MC site. They use what looks like one of the Ingenico iCT200 series terminals. I wasn't sure how to walk the guy through a contactless transaction if necessary so I paid with EMV, which was turned on too apparently. There's some sort of Sale soft key right? For some reason I'm thinking it's similar to Verifone.

Here is how to run Contactless on a ICT250 and probably other Ingenico's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYBGN4qGnEA Try it for sure and post the receipt when you do! Also how on an FD130: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w70Lg7ArNc So today I went into a Natural Grocers and they had a brand new pos system and a Verifone MX915, so I tapped and it worked! ^ Did not show any indication that it was on and I really hope they leave it on, as they are kind of like Whole Foods so they SHOULD support it! The cashier said a few people had asked about it, but now she can say that they do, well I'm not so sure Apple Pay will work, but Google Wallet will for sure. Also I saw a local Kroger owned store called Baker's and they had the MX915's too, but NFC was turned off...

Used Apple Pay at a T-Mobile store in NYC today. They are using MX925s with a separate contactless receiver mounted above the unit. EMV slot is unblocked but inserting did nothing.

I think T-Mobile uses Ingenico Isc480, not Verifone. They are nice looking terminals though.

Yeah, looking at the images you're right. I thought the stylus holder looked a little off. The contactless logo in the ISC480 marketing images wasn't anywhere on the terminals, but the screen did display one when it was time to pay.

I always tell the cashier that I'm paying with my phone. In fact at a local cafe they didn't even know they took it. The next day they out up a sign saying "We take Apple Pay" - because of me!!

[ goQUOTE=scibot;24755127]You politely ask and instruct them and they usually have no issues trying it and when it works they think its cool, and then they know that they take Apple Pay and Google Wallet. ^ That is how it usually goes, as they get their money and pay nothing more than they usually would, so everyone wins then. [/QUOTE]
If I get a clerk who seems sympathetic, I'll point out the contactless symbol on my Visa card: " If you see this appear, please tap the card, rather than swiping it." With my luck, it'd go through as a signature transaction anyway.

So I'm hearing from multiple sources that contactless no longer works at Home Depot for any card or phone (not just MasterCard as before). Is this true? If so, it's kinda weird that there's not nearly the uproar that Rite-Aid and CVS disabling theirs caused.

As for uproar - one is frequency of use, but two is motivation. Rite-Aid and CVS disabled theirs to flip off the credit card companies. Home Depot is likely just too cheap to bother paying for the EMV contactless certifications

After several successful Apple Pay transactions at HD, they stopped working 2-3 weeks ago. I tried MC and AX, both failed (previously, only MC would fail).
