Today, I was shocked when I tried to use applepay at Marks and Spencer. They told me they accept samsung only. I have been using applepay at m&s many times in the past, and couldn't believe what i heard. I insisted that applepay works and tapped and the transaction went thru fine. The cashier was upset and said it is the management's decision to reject applepay.

Anyone encountered similar problem before? Is apple charging the merchants higher fees? What could be the reason?

it works as long as the terminal supports contactless. just tap.

you need a card from a supported bank/financial institution. so far none from malaysia.

No need to ask them. Just tap like you do paywave payment.

there is no technical issue when paying. it is the mentality of some merchants in Malaysia that is the obstacle.

I've paid numerous times using ApplePay with a foreign CC. Just ask for paywave - there is no need to alarm them!

don't try that with marks and spencer. if you tap with your phone and they see your phone isn't samsung, they'll kick a big fuss out of it.

usually this also happened with samsung phone, just they dont know what you are using, so they going to refuse.
just inform them using paywave.

May I know how you add the ccard into your Apple Wallet? I too have a Spore ccard but don't see the + sign anywhere. My Itunes of course is Malaysia.

Thanks.

I think you need to change your ios's region to a country that applepay supports.
