Couche Tard (also known as Mac’s in English Canada) doesn’t support Apple Pay but supports Amex. I hate it when that happens!

I used it at Indigo and Starbucks today. Worked great.

Sent an email off to Hudon’s Bay, and a few other chains who accept American Express, but either don’t have tap-to-pay turned on, or else their machines don’t support tap-to-pay.

The list will get longer if we all email the stores where it doesn’t work. I’ve got positive responses so far from those stores I’ve emailed.

Agreed! I’ve done the same for Thrifty Foods. The response I got was they weren’t going to set it up anytime soon. I said let me know when they do, as I’ll return as a customer. Hello Save-On

Worked at Mark’s Work Wearhouse for me yesterday. The cashier was kind of excited, she said she knew the technology was coming but hadn’t seen it yet. Then she made a comment about “crazy kids these days.” 🙂

SAQ (liquor store in Quebec) was a no-go. Tried twice got error every time. American Express is accepted at this store.

SAQ uses TD Canada Trust payment terminals. I had success with AMEX contactless but not with AMEX through Apple Pay. Could it be that TD is blocking Apple Pay on purpose ?

It worked at Shoppers Drug Mart and a Subway restaurant that accepts AMEX

It seems to me that Apple Pay works with some terminals that normally don’t support AMEX contactless but support AMEX chip&pin and MC/VISA contactless
