There’s a transaction limit on tap payments. Sometimes you need to chip or swipe when it’s over $250 or something.

People still use physical cards? I haven’t been carrying any cards at all for so many years now.

Seems like you're Canadian. America doesn't have limits on tap to pay.

It depends on the place. There’s a grocery store I go to (in Seattle, WA) that has a $100 limit for mobile payments.

Assume you are not in US? Phone pay never caught on here in a big way unfortunately.

I did it when I was travelling to the US a few years back and the store clerk looked at me like I had two heads. It’s so normal in Canada I never thought much of it, and here I was a celebrity in this store and everyone was just wow’d at the magic I’d done.

Sadly, too many places around here don’t get support Apple Pay and even less Google wallet. It’s definitely improved the last few years, probably 80%, but not 100%, so I’ve had to carry mine. So close I can’t wait!

I’m getting old. Google keeps changing their touchless pay system and app. I got tired of switching after the third version of whatever Google is calling it now and gave up. Google pay, no Android pay, no Google wallet!

I remember on reddit once someone from the US complaining about people assuming their bar had EFTPOS machines/pay wave saying “You wouldn’t go to the grocery store without your wallet?!”
And me, in Australia just being like…but… I do? I almost never take my wallet with me to the grocery store…
(Although, because my student public transport card is the only thing I can’t put on my phone, going out for drinks is one of the few times I’m almost guaranteed to have my wallet) (also because I want to have backups if something goes wrong while I’m inebriated)

I’d be happy to use Google Wallet most of the time but Google is real worried about my custom ROM and won’t allow me to.
