Does Google Pay work? Paying with my phone is just too convenient.

I'm unsure how paying with your phone is any more convenient. Sure the wallet requires you to open your wallet, but is that too much effort? I'd rather just pay in cash.

Pocket > Phone > Double Tap pay button -> Tap

Pocket > Open Wallet > Take card out -> Tap

I suppose it's may be more convenient carrying just your phone and not your wallet but I prefer both. Or does America not have tappable Chip&Pin yet?

I don't carry a wallet and I'm not in the US, and I use NFC whenever I do carry a card.

Apologizes for the assumption. I have yet to find anywhere here in Scotland that uses NFC practically other than billboards.

I can't think of a single retailer in the UK that takes card payments, but doesn't support contactless (including Google Pay and Apple Pay).

Ignoring very small shops that don't take cards at all.

Are the tap&pay NFC? -- I thought it was different tech under the hood.

What I meant is that I've not seen any other use for NFC apart from bus station adverts?
