Apple Pay?

[rustyself]

I could only find older threads on this subject, so if anyone has any info on how widespread Apple Pay is accepted within the parks and CityWalk, I would appreciate it.
I have called guest services twice and gotten a different answer, both times. VASTLY different.
Last time we were down was 2016, so I’m sure a lot has changed.

I was able to use it at CityWalk and at Mythos last November.

I have never been to UO, but I prefer to use ApplePay. I have found Apple Maps to be pretty accurate with regards to ApplePay acceptance. I don’t think I have ever gone anywhere that Apple Maps says takes ApplePay and the business has not. It looks as if most park locations do, but there are a few vendors at City Walk who do not list ApplePay in their details.

I also used Apple Pay at the Discovery Center for Lunch.

Is there a benefit to using Apple Pay?

I never use it. I prefer to earn points on my purchases so I use Amex and just pay my cc bill in full each month. I get four free airline tickets a year with my Amex points.

ApplePay is completely different and separate from Apple Cash. ApplePay is an electronic version of your bank issued credit or debit card saved into a mobile wallet. Apple‘s mobile wallet is ApplePay. Your bank and your smart phone connect and create a tokenized version of your card. The vendor never has access to your actual card or card number. It is safer from fraud than using the actual card. Many apps and online vendors allow ApplePay transactions. For example, I pay my cable bill with ApplePay. I no longer have to store my credit card information with the cable company. This quarter I am paying with Chase Freedom for the bonus points, but I have paid with American Express before.

Many loyalty card also have an ApplePay app. I love not having to grab my wallet at the grocery store. I have my loyalty card and credit card in ApplePay, so I can just tap my phone and go. You can also connect your Apple Watch to ApplePay.

Using ApplePay is just like using the physical card as far as how your account operates. Most (like 95%) of American Express offers even work through ApplePay. For the most part those offers that don’t work have transactions that must be completed via a website.

ETA, I do not use Apple Cash which is Apple’s “Venmo“ type function within the mobile wallet.

Oh. I always called that Apple Wallet (which I use sometimes). I thought Apple Pay was something separate. Thanks for the explanation!

You were right on, then! Mobile wallets and payments just have a bunch of different almost interchangeable names.

As already said, I prefer to use Apple Pay with whichever card I choose. The last time we were in Orlando I used my debit card. It got hacked, and took a couple of weeks to straighten out.
