Apple Pay Is In Canada.. But There’s A Catch…

Yea! Let’s rejoice! Apple Pay has arrived! The future of wireless payments with a tap of your iPhone or Apple Watch has arrived in the frozen north… but with one moose sized fly in the maple syrup.. it’s through American Express only. You have an American Express card? Yea! No.. wait.. is it co-branded? Sorry, you’re SOL.

Apple Pay and American Express

Apple Pay For The Masses?

But for those Hoity Toity types with AMEX cards, a futuristic utopia awaits you at Tim Hortons, Indigo, McDonald’s, Petro Canada and Staples! Just don’t mind us peasant folk paying with dirty, dirty cash.. or *gasp* PLASTIC!

Once VISA and MasterCard get their heads out of their asses, I’m sure we’ll start to see more cards accepted soon!
