      Are you talking about tap to pay? My credit union, and all of my credit cards don’t use that feature unfortunately. I’ve used Google Pay a few times, but I have privacy concerns with that service.

        It’s so funny hearing Americans talk about a feature that has been standard in Canada for almost a decade.

        Like, we are usually the ones way behind with Uber and various other similar technology services. So not sure what happened on this one.

          All of my wife’s cards have it, and I’d say probably 90% of the POS terminals support it, but somehow none of my cards have the chip. My credit union said they’re working on it, but they’re a tiny little place, so that’s understandable. What I don’t understand is why my Capitol One and Discover cards don’t have them. Maybe they offer it now and I just need to request a new card, but that sounds too much like work.
