I wish they had NFC so I could use Apple Pay. I hate inserting cards into the pumps even though I always check for skimmers. I'm pretty sure the past two (read: only) times my card got stolen it was through gas stations.

I’ve seen NFC on a couple Chevron pumps, but it’s not common.

I've encountered a couple of gas stations that supported NFC, in the last year. The most recent one was at ARCO - although in that case I couldn't actually use it since they only accept debit and at that point I only had my credit card in Google Pay.

  ARCO near me has been accepting credit for about a year and it works fine with their NFC.

    Where's that? This was in Mountain View. I'll have to try again.

My local WaWa installed NFC readers in their pumps.

Lot of the skimmers now are so small they go inside the card reader https://krebsonsecurity.com/tag/insert-skimmer/ https://krebsonsecurity.com/tag/insert-skimmer/

This is one of the reasons I like my Galaxy Note 10. Samsung Pay supports Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST). You can use it to pay at the pump without risking your actual credit card number as it creates virtual rolling card numbers. This feature won't be too useful in a few years when every payment terminal has NFC, but until then it is nice to have backwards compatibility.
