Are any of you using Apple Pay? If so, how do you like it. It's going to be extended to the iPhone 5.

Love it! You won't ever leave your card at Starbucks, Home Depot or other places you can use it! Seems more secure too. Clerks and waiters dont actually get your card so they can't copy exp date, security code and number so it reduces chances of ID theft!

From what I've read, it's the most secure way to pay, aside from cash. Remember cash?

I remember Cash - that's the thing that the IRS does not like for deductible expenses and is difficult to get back when it is stolen! Use a credit card for all your expenses and you will be amazed at where your money goes - also, in my case, I get 2 free airline tickets every year!

I keep everything on Quicken, and it is depressing to see how much goes where. One thing I noticed about using a credit card for everything is my lack of coins. I used to accumulate lots of coins to convert to cash every so often. Now I bring my jar of coins to the bank just once a year, and it's no longer full.

My Chase cards give me cash-back for all purchases, and I appreciate that occasional input.

The Visa and Amex cards issued by Fidelity cannot be used for Apple Pay. Neither can the Visa issued by the UN Federal Credit Union.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the future.
