Do you honestly shop at only places w/ NFC readers? Do you not eat at restaurants? Do you not take cash out at ATMs? I mean - sure Apple Pay is slicker and maybe more secure - but I can not imagine anyone now ditching plastic to go 100% Apple Pay, Google Wallet, whatever.
I like it when internet folk comment about current technology as legacy because some tiny fraction of its market now uses something new and shiny.
- ryanhuff 12y agoWith the prospect of fraud liability in the US shifting to the merchants starting next fall, many merchants will be swapping in terminals that are EMV compliant. I suspect many of these merchants will go for a terminal that also has NFC. http://money.usnews.com/money/personal-finance/articles/2014/10/28/coming-next-fall-more-chip-and-pin-cards-in-the-us http://money.usnews.com/money/personal-finance/articles/2014...
- gojomo 12y agoI'm not paying $50-150, and futzing with some idiosyncratic offering of a small company, just to maintain magstripe-compatibility when magstripes are rapidly on the way out. Carrying a couple fallback magstripe cards for the last days of magstripes isn't a big hassle. Carrying tons of magstripe cards when there were no other options – 5-10 years ago – is the only problem these seem to solve.
