Die Ankündigung von neulich schon wieder vergessen und heute positiv überrascht bei #Walmart das Contactless Logo für #TaptoPay gesehen.
Leider nicht bei nem Self-Checkout gewesen und daher nicht herausfinden können ob sie contactless mit contact verlinkt haben (da hätte ich dann auch bei contactless die Kassenbeleg-per-SMS Option erwartet). Online taucht der Einkauf jedenfalls noch(?) nicht auf.

Ah, just as I was just asking for solutions to exit Google Pay, today I learned that a privacy oriented tap to pay app is coming. Will be keeping an eye on Walt.

My growing retired-transit-card collection
A year ago, this week’s work trip to the Bay Area would have meant breaking out the oldest computer that I was still using with any regularity at the time: the Clipper card that I bought in June of 2012 to pay for fares on BART, Muni and other transit agencies around San Francisco.
But this year, I could leave that NFC-enabled smart card in the little holder in which I store my other stored-value transit cards and instead tap my phone to pay with my business credit card for each ride–first a SamTrans bus from SFO to Millbrae, then Caltrain to San Jose for TechEx North America, then two days of commuting up and down the peninsula for Google I/O.
BART started accepting contactless payments last August, and now all the Bay Area transit services that accept Clipper cards also let you tap to pay with a phone, a smartwatch or a credit or debit card with an NFC chip.
Whether you call it “tap to pay,” “open payments” or “open loop,” letting people pay for a fare as if it were any other on-the-go purchase is a great advance for transit. Especially for out-of-towners, as I realized years ago when visiting Chicago and Portland and appreciating the early lead of their transit services in this key bit of CX.
A growing array of agencies across the U.S. have finally wised up to this after years of requiring people to buy proprietary stored-value cards, install agency-specific apps or make a throwback cash payment: Metro, NYC’s MTA, the T in Boston, NJ Transit buses and light rail, SEPTA around Philadelphia, MARTA in Atlanta, and the Seattle region’s Sound Transit, among many others.
L.A.’s Metro has been a high-profile laggard–a personally inconvenient one since my TAP card expired last year. But this week users have begun reporting success on Reddit and in Bluesky posts with using their phones and credit cards to cover train and bus fares now that Metro there seems to have begun a soft launch of what it calls “TAP Plus.”
As I’ve spent down the balance on transit cards I no longer need, the ones that I still need to use are now most entirely confined to agencies in other countries. Some examples: I love Barcelona’s Metro but I don’t love how it doesn’t support tap to pay; Doha’s driverless metro is a technological marvel but also requires its own colorful card; Vancouver’s Compass Card offers enough of a discount over tap-to-pay rates (because that city didn’t follow Toronto’s fare-neutral example) that I picked up one for last year’s Web Summit conference there and used it again for this year’s event.
But there is one awkward exception right in my neighborhood: Arlington Transit, which continues to require the SmarTrip card that WMATA rolled out in 1999. So while I can pay for Metro like it’s the 21st century, I still have to keep my well-worn SmarTrip card handy in case an ART bus rolls up before a Metro bus does.

@ruari @timmy
I did a quick little research...I found only 1 bank in the #Philippines that has #TapToPay via their mobile app... and only on Android.
So for me here, it's just swipe with the card, chip on the card, tap with the card (doesn't always work), or QR scan with an e-wallet (sometimes buggy).

@evelyn To answer this question
"Are #TapToPay #wearables usable at any terminal where you can tap-to-pay with a card? Should be, right?"
Yes but given you have no local banks that support the underlying tech stack I guess you could not do it yourself.
A tourist who has one though probably could (not that this helps you at all).

@ruari
I have a very basic/silly question.
#EducateMePleaseAre #TapToPay #wearables usable at any* terminal where you can tap-to-pay with a card? Should be, right?
When I'm out riding 🚲 I normally don't carry my credit card. If wearables are a sure thing and like using a card then I think I might just get one. Many places I frequent have tap-to-pay. But I've only seen it done with cards. I haven't seen/noticed anyone* here 🇵🇭 paying with wearables. Maybe #banks here don't allow it yet? 🤔

LONDON
My packing list for this short trip to the U.K. did not include any plastic cards with embedded electronics, because London was one of the earlier cities in the world to grasp that you can persuade people to take transit if you will just shut up and take their money right before they board instead of first asking them to buy a reloadable transit fare card.
By “money” I mean the kind embedded in people’s credit cards, both those that include NFC contactless payments and those stored in such apps as Apple Pay, Google Wallet (formerly Google Pay, formerly Android Pay, formerly Google Wallet) and Samsung Pay.
Transport services in London have accepted tap-to-pay since 2012, so when I arrived here Monday I only had to hold my phone above the NFC terminal at a faregate for the Elizabeth Line to start paying my fare. Waving my phone over another faregate when I exited completed the transaction; the only hard part in between was not falling asleep on the train.
My previous business travel to a city with a subway connection to its international airport, my too-brief visit to Chicago a month ago, treated me to the same convenience–CTA has welcomed NFC payments since 2013.
But when I land at Dulles this afternoon and take Metro home, I’ll use a proprietary SmarTrip card that cost $2 to buy sometime years ago. WMATA does now support phone payments, but only via its own app–and as I’ve found out the hard way, you can’t move a SmarTrip card that still costs $2 even if bought right in the agency’s app to a new Android phone if your old Android phone dies.
Transit apps don’t have to incorporate that defect, but too many of them ship with other problems–chief among them, not letting the user select a payment method already saved in Apple Pay or Google Wallet.
Fortunately, WMATA’s can-do general manager Randy Clarke seems to have realized that Metro has created a payments problem for itself with this longstanding setup. At September’s WMATA board meeting, Clarke said he wants to see Metro support tap-to-pay by the time WorldPride Washington DC draws visitors to the D.C. area next May for the 50th anniversary of Pride celebrations here.
Making a subway or bus ride the same no-new-app, no-new-card experience as booking an Uber would be an enormously customer- and visitor-friendly move by Metro.
On that note, I’m obliged to disclose that I’m here courtesy of an Uber-paid press trip for Tuesday’s Go-Get Zero sustainability event here, which included generous Uber credits to get around the city. I’m further obliged to report that spending so much time sitting in London traffic in Ubers, even at no cost to me, was one of the better advertisements for transit that I’ve seen in a while.

BARCELONA–Hola desde MWC! I’m here for my 10th time to cover the giant tech event formerly known as Mobile World Congress. I’m here through Thursday morning, which the past nine years of covering MWC have taught me will be barely enough time to take in the show and probably not enough time for Barcelona tourism.
Before I left, I wrote an extra post for Patreon readers sharing my notes on two potential alternatives to Intuit’s Mint: Quicken Simplifi and Monarch Money.
2/20/2024: A Lifeline for Low-Income Households Is Available After the ACP, AARP
I had been meaning to pitch my editor at AARP after catching up with her at CES, but she e-mailed me first to ask if I could bang out an explainer of the government broadband subsidy still taking applicants now that money is running out on the Affordable Connectivity Program. Since I’m writing this from Spain, I’ll also note that AARP published a Spanish version of my post (fortunately, without relying on my own Duolingo Spanish).
2/22/2024: Most TikTok Users, Even Younger Ones, Rarely Post Videos, PCMag
I got an advance look at yet another Pew Research Center study of social-media usage, and this one surfaced some surprising trends about TikTok use that I thought worth highlighting.
2/23/2024: Google Pay to Be Replaced by Google Wallet in Another Payment App Reorg, PCMag
I had to set aside packing for MWC Thursday when I saw that Google had once again reshuffled its mobile-payments app lineup. Writing this post took me down a memory lane lined by the wrecks of bad corporate judgment, and not just from Google–in retrospect, it remains dumbfounding that carriers thought they could sell their customers on a payment platform they controlled, and that they then named it “Isis” just in time for that word to become indelibly associated with a terrorist death cult.
