This Denver Post article says you wont get loyalty points:
While one big consumer gripe is that purchases made on Apple Pay won't get you the loyalty rewards you would if you used your regular card, that sounds like an easy fix for Apple. Whether more stores sign on and more devices get Apple Pay, that will take time.

Anyone know or have tested if 2x/3x/etc spots will only come in as normal purchases or actually get the proper points?? I dont particularly trust the DP's reporting on this article.

I wonder if you will be able to load your Subway gift cards and other gift cards which offer an incentive for you to buy them.
For instance, a $25 Subway gift card includes a free 6-inch sandwich.
Problem is, Apple Pay has a limit of 8 cards. While gift and other loyalty cards don't have to be locked down and put into the Secure Element, it would be nice to be able to load them on your device, rather than fishing for them.
Panera Bread, another chain that supposedly supports Apple Pay, also has a loyalty card program too, a barcode that they scan when you buy there.

"Objections to Apple Pay aren’t actually about convenience, reliability, or security—they are about a burgeoning war between a consortium of merchants, led by Walmart, and the credit card companies. Rite-Aid, CVS, Walmart, Best-Buy and about 50 other retailers have been working on their own mobile payments system, called CurrentC. Unlike Apple Pay, which works in conjunction with Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, CurrentC cuts out the credit card networks altogether. The benefit to the merchants is clear: They would save the swipe fees they pay to the credit card companies now, which average about two percent of the cost of transactions."

I bought the damn iPhone because of the damn catchphrase
Now I'm missing on deals from ISIS/softcard. They have to open NFC for devs to have a chance with currentC IMO
