Just a thought, but if possible, I would call before going there. And,
after all, if it isn't available, you can still use your card.

Mark,
How were you aware that apple pay was available at that particular location.
Do you just have to try and see if it works? I’ve been curious, as a blind
person, how can I know if a particular machine will work with apple pay? Do
I just randomly wave my phone over machines and hope for the best. LOL!
Thanks,
Christina

Hello Everyone,
Today, I decided to use Apple Pay via the Passbook app on my 6 Plus.
One of the companies that has already signed onto the Apple Pay train, as
it
were, is Panera Bread, a fast-casual restaurant that just happens to be
one
of my most favorites as, in my opinion, their coffee is second to none.
So, before going to the restaurant, I opened up the Passbook app and
elected
to use the credit card already on file with Apple. Part of this process
includes verifying the use of the card, with the Passbook app, itself.
In my case, I was given two methods of verifying the card. I could (1)
download a company-branded wallet app or (2) call the credit card company
and verify my information with a representative.
As I am an app minimalist, I decided to call the company. After
authorizing
Passbook with the credit card company, I received a notification on the
phone that the credit card had been authorized and was now ready for use
with Passbook.
Two more things to note:
1.
I have Passbook setup for use via cell signal and
2.
I have authorized Touch ID for use with the Passbook app.
After doing all of this. I went into the restaurant and ordered some
coffee.
After the cashier rang up my order, with the phone locked and the display
off, I simply placed my finger on the Touch ID/Home button and waved the
phone just above The transaction terminal (where a sighted person would
swipe a credit card and/or sign her/his name. As I did this, as the phone
passed over the terminal, the screen came on displaying the passbook app.
At approximately the same time, the phone vibrated once and the
transaction
was complete. It took less than 5 seconds from the time I placed my
finger
on the Touch ID/home button while passing the phone over the terminal to
when the vibration was felt.
Very, very, very impressive, to say the least.
I only hope more businesses will begin using Apple Pay.
Please note that I have no store-specific apps installed on my 6 Plus.
Mark
