Yeah, the gripe you have with Walgreens is something they have had since 
accepting Apple Pay from the get go. It's stupid in my opinion, and everyone 
else's opinion as well. Maybe one day if they can have a enough customer 
complaints they will drop the requirement for inputting your card pin. Until 
then it's nothing but a great big annoyance.

Speaking of changes…Kroger will not accept ApplePay, so we shop at 
Meijer…Walgreens has always accepted ApplePay from the beginning..

Some chip registers still ask for you to enter you PIN, but NEVER has anyone 
ask for my PIN when using ApplePay, there is NO reason for this, Apple’s system 
is so safe, the only way for us to be hurt is for Apple to be hacked.

However yesterday when checking out of Walgreens, I used the Watch to pay, and 
it ASK FOR MY PIN.  I never like giving this but I had no choice.  I have 
written to Walgreens telling them of my dislike….possibly a Chip card could be 
stolen and using the PIN is a way to verify, but with the iPhone or Apple Watch 
there is no need…if I lose either they still can’t shop with it without 
fingerprint authorization or knowing my 6 number sequence to unlock the phone.

Maybe it’s swatting at a gnat but I alway like letting folks defend their 
position…we’ll see if they even answer me.

This is getting weird. When I first looked a few minutes ago it said “Costco 
Anywhere Visa Card is ready for Apple Pay.” A few minutes later it changed to 
“Costco Anywhere Visa Card will be ready for Apple Pay when updates are 
complete.” A few minutes later it changed back to “Costco Anywhere Visa Card is 
ready for Apple Pay.”

It doesn’t really matter because the only place I ever use it is Costco and 
their crippled card machines don’t support contactless payments.

For whatever it’s worth, I have a Citi/Costco personal Visa that’s registered

2016-06-28 Thread tom holloman 
Thanks for the info. I can't hear on phone but left messages on their message 
center where they claim they will answer in 4 hours but 26 hours later no 
response. I have Wells Fargo Visa card and will just use that at Costco. Citi 
is not up to date with progress. Ridiculous.

Re: [MacGroup] Costco visa

2016-06-28 Thread John Robinson 
Here is the reason Tom:



Costco credit card dropping Apple Pay - Citibank Business

On June 20, Costco is changing credit cards from Amex to Citibank. If you have 
Costco business membership, you must have a business card. This was fine with 
Amex since business cards support Apple Pay. Citibank on the other hand does 
not allow any business credit card to work with Apple Pay and after several 
weeks of calls, I find they have no plans to fix it. After 3 weeks of calls to 
Costco and Citbank here is the deal: if you have a Costco business credit card 
you must cancel the new card when it arrives, go to Costco cancel your 
membership, and sign up for a NEW personal membership, then APPLY for a new 
personal Citi card!
 
Anyone affected by this should call both Costco and Citi (use the Costco 800 # 
to get to Citi) and let them know they should:
1. Citi should support Apple Pay for all cards. But for now:
2. Citi should allow you to apply for a personal card even if you have a 
business Costco membership.
 
Also: Amex personal and business cards support Apple Pay notifications. 
Purchases show up on the iPhone and watch seconds after made. Citibank does not 
support notifications and from what I heard don't know what they are!
