Archived Mobile Payments: The Sequel!

[Electronics Man]

So it looks like we are trying mobile payments again, instead of just accepting Apple/Android Pay. Kind of disappointing.

Target will launch its own mobile payments system this year

On the bright side, instead of making it ANOTHER app somebody has to download, we are slipstreaming it into either Cartwheel or maybe even the Target App itself.

What's different about the black card?

Great. Now every store is going to have their own system. Need gas? 711 pay. Need to buy dog food? Petco pay. Need to pay for a hooker? Godihopesheshesclean pay.

They're just trying to keep data to themselves. Apple Pay would put them at a disadvantage.

The absolute best one is samsung pay. It literally works everywhere except atms, and most gas pumps.

Walmart made their own...it was inevitable we'd follow suit.

The Target app accepts Apple Pay for app purchases already; I wonder if Apple would allow for an adjunct payment sysyem alongside theirs within the app.

Was Target part of that I.sis (added the period as to not flag my post as part of that _other_ organization)/MCM-payment system? I think it was the group of retailers that included Best Buy and Walmart; the company eventually closed or pivoted to something else, if I recall...

This made me laugh
Target calls Apple Pay ‘awesome,’ says it is working on bringing support to its stores

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Spot get the Apple Pay, please. Data breach, don't forget!

True I also love the occasional promotions and the 10 dollar amazon gift card I got just for trying it out

Apparently the apple pay tweet has been deleted and a company spokesperson told macrumors that they have no plans for Apple Pay. lol.

Target says it has no plans to support Apple Pay in stores
