Apple Pay Apple Pay in the UK

Don’t know if you’ve been and tried it out, but yes, they do; when I took my iMac to the High Cross in Leicester I used it for over £30.

No I haven’t tried it out yet. Thank you, it will come in handy when I visit Hotel Chocolat in April for Easter Eggs

Many retailers who implement ApplePay have been noted in this thread.

There’s isn’t any way to tell whether it’s just contactless or ApplePay without trying and seeing what happens (that I can think of), but the majority of supermarkets for example, are ApplePay (Sainsbury’s, Morrisons, Aldi, Lidl, Co-Op, M&S) with Tesco apparently on the way, only really leaving Asda out. There are many other retailers if you read back a bit.

Usually the display on the terminal will indicate whether it accepts over £30 because the contactless symbol will be present, although you won’t know this until it’s time to pay.

I used Apple Pay for a £700 transaction in Costco at the weekend - very handy because I’d forgotten my wallet.

I don’t know if it’s still the case but for a while the payment terminals at Tesco continued to display the contactless logo, even when it was for a purchase over £30.

I know that’s an exception to the rule...

That was for your contactless club card. The words on the screen can be as helpful as the pictures.

I set up a WIKI that I try and keep updated from time to time that shows main UK retailers that support Apple Pay transactions over the current contactless limit of £30. The WIKI can be updated by anyone, or leave a post and I will update. The thread is here.

Good catch - sorry I have been writing proposals all day and all the money references end with k. Will edit the original post.

I don't know if anyone else here uses N26 Bank but I've had an email off them; after initially supporting Google Pay first they're now onboard with Apple Pay, too.

My Barclaycard has been credited for the Apple Pay offer.

Monese enabled Apple Pay too.

Not sure when it was added, but the Disney Store in Nottingham now accepts contactless, used my watch to buy something today. Was about the only shop that I still had to use chip and pin like a loser. No more.

Came across one the other day at a BP petrol station. Two notices on the pump, one said please leave your phone in your car. The other said, we accept Apple Pay. A bit awkward if you do not have an Apple Watch.

The signs should be much clearer as that refers to their BPme service...!

 

[zombierunner]

When do you think we will get Apple Pay.?

 

[iShorty]

Nobody knows, it's been "coming soon" or "just around the corner" for almost half a year.

Apple Pay Cash?????

Who knows. Maybe never at this rate

 

[Shanghaichica]

Well I forgot my purse today so it’s Apple Pay all the way for me today.

Just to update everyone. I survived with only Apple Pay all day from 4 am until I got back home at 10.30 pm. I could pay for transport and food using Apple Pay. There was never any issue.

Now, that is what I call a long day.

If I remember correctly, you’re in London as well, I never carry my cards at all since last couple of years.

Thought we might have been in luck with Apple Pay Cash after today’s announcement but I guess we’re still going to have to be patient...

I had my fingers crossed, but no.. Apple obviously can't find a banking partner, which is odd seeing they have a good relationship with Barclays. It's a shame really, all my family would use Apple Pay Cash regularly.
