ALERT: CVS disabled NFC terminal to block Apple Pay in support of other Moblie payment systems

CVS has shut down their NFC machines in an attempt to block Apple Pay and Google wallet to support QR code wallet system with other major retail partners like Walmart and BestBuy.
Their technology not even close to being secure. Be sure to file complaints to CVS customer relations online. Just an FYI for you Apple pay folks who are trying to pay in CVS. It won't work. Lol. Plenty of articles online about it. Just a heads up for all you Apple Pay enthusiast.

I filed my complaint Friday with CVS due to the Retailer's own interest driving the Merchant Customer Exchange CurrentC Mobile Payment Product.  The Retailers primary focus is to reduce their payments to Visa and MasterCard.  The CurrentC Mobile Payment System is cumbersome at the Point-of-Sale, require QR Codes to be scanned by the Store Clerk or the Customer.  A second major focus of CurrentC is to collect personal information about the Customer for use in Retailer Marketing, unfortunately this data even includes personal Health Data.  I don't see Consumers flocking to the Retail Arena to use CurrentC.  The CurrentC Mobile Payment System began design and development back in 2011, but is not to market as yet.

  • How Do I Disable The Pop-Up Blocker to Upload Video to Facebook & Others?

    When I try to upload a video clip I shot of some 4th of July Fireworks to Facebook, I get the error message "In order to upload videos on your profile, Facebook needs to be able to create a pop-up window. Please disable your pop-up blocker or allow this page to create popups, then try again."
    I have uploaded to FB before, but apparently I've turned on the pop-up blocker. How do I turn it off? I am new to MAC from pc, so please have mercy and help me...
    Thanks

    Hi IamR.Ph.
    Unless you have a 3rd party blocker, Safari's built-in one can be disabled via the following method:
    In the top menu click Safari (to the right of the Apple logo) then click "Block Pop-Up Windows."
    If you see a check mark next to this then the blocker is enabled, if there's no check mark than the blocker is already disabled and something else is doing the blocking.

  • Can I use Apple Pay at any store that has an NFC reader or has that merchant had to have signed up to accept Apple Pay?

    Can I use Apple Pay at any store that has an NFC reader (with no Apple Pay logo) or has that merchant had to have signed up to accept Apple Pay?

    If the merchant accepts contactless payments, you should be able to use any contactless payment option (which includes Apple Pay).
    Some merchants (like CVS) have NFC readers but they have been deactivated because they are a member of a competing payment system (Current C).

  • When will Apple Pay be available for iPhone 5?

    I have seen that Apple Pay is not available for my iPhone 5. Will it become available to that phone as well as the #6? When?

    Nope.   The iPhone 5 lacks the NFC chip that the Apple Pay service requires in order to connect with the payment terminals at stores.
    However, once the Apple Watch is released, you can use it in conjunction with the iPhone 5, 5c, or 5s for Apple Pay based payments.

  • When will Apple Pay be available in Mexico?

    Release date.

    It is unknown.
    Banks and Stores have to adopt it. Mainly because stores need to install the NFC terminals to accept Apple Pay, and Banks need to accept the protocols for Payment through said terminals.    Very few stores actually have these NFC terminals, and even fewer actually use them in any capacity.
    It will probably be a while until its available in Mexico.

  • Apple Pay in The UK

    Will Apple Pay ever come to the UK? If so will it be available on the iPhone 5s.

    No one here knows if/when Apple Pay will be available in the UK (or any other area outside of the US).
    As for the iPhone 5s, it does not have the necessary hardware to support Apple Pay by itself.
    To use Apple Pay in stores, you need an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 plus, or an Apple Watch.  The Apple Watch can be paired with an iPhone 5 or newer.
    To use Apple Pay in supported apps, you need an iPhone 6, iPhone 6 plus, iPad Air 2 or an iPad mini 3.

  • HT201239 update exp date of credit card in apple pay

    I am not able to get to that information in Passbook settings, any ideas?

    Hello Jefmedia,
    The only information that can be edited is the Address, email or phone number. To update the card information, you would need to remove your expired credit card and then add the new credit card back in. 
    Set up and use Apple Pay

  • Is it ok to use Apple Pay with Bank of America now??

    Does any know if BofA is still double charging apple pay users?? Is the problem fixed?  (iPhone 6 on 8.1)

    They have already addressed the issue and have eliminated any duplicate charges already.  In other words it is fine to use Apple Pay with BOA.

  • Why can you not use Apple Pay for purchases in the App Store or iTunes?

    To make a purchases in the App Store or iTunes, it appears you can only pay by entering Mastercard, Visa, Discover, or AmEx information.   If you select none and try to make a purchase, you will again be prompted to enter this information.  I would like to use my Apple Pay account to pay for Apps/tunes, but that doesn't  seem possible.  It seems this negates one of the primary benefits of Apple Pay, which is to make purchases without turning over your credit card information to the merchant, in this case Apple.  I know you can pay with Touch ID, but that is only authoring payment from your credit card information you have on file.

    Hello ToastyFlake,
    It sounds like you are wanting to use ApplePay to purchase content from either the iTunes or App Stores. According to the following article, you are correct. ApplePay is for in-app (if the app supports it) or purchasing from a retail store. 
    Set up and use Apple Pay
    Pay with Apple Pay in stores
    On iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, you can use Apple Pay in stores that accept contactless payments. Look for one of these symbols at checkout:
    Pay with Apple Pay in apps
    On iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3, you can use Apple Pay to pay within apps when you see the “Buy with Apple Pay” or “Apple Pay”  button as a payment method. Look for these buttons in apps:
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Apple pay credit card appearance

    I have two Bank of America credit cards. One is my personal and one is my business account. Besides the last four digits to distinguish them is there a way to change the graphics of the card so it is very easy to see which one I can use per transaction? For example the personal car would with a blue background and the business card would be black? anything to make it easy to visually see what card i am using at each time.

    No.  The graphics are not user changeable.
    What you can select, however, is the default card to use when you bring up Apple Pay to make a payment.  Do this at Settings > Passbook & Apple Pay > Default Card.
