Q: Is there a trick to Apple Pay? I can never get it to work stores.
I've had nothing but embarrassing failures when trying to use Apple Pay. First two times I tried it were on my iPhone 6 Plus in an Apple Store! They couldn't get it to register. Third time I tried it, also in an Apple Store, it failed to work, so they got a new handheld payment thing, and then it finally worked after quite a few seconds on holding it just in the right spot against the payment receiving device.
Now armed with my Apple Watch, I went to New Season's grocery store where they just got Apple Pay a few days ago. I double clicked my button, Apple Pay shows up on my watch. I hold my watch close to the screen at the store........nothing. I try holding it in 4 other spots for a few seconds each. There's a big line behind me, so I whip out my credit card and pay in two seconds. What's up!? Are there tricks or ways to hold your watch to these things so it works? Or are some of the payment receivers just so picky they don't work right? I've heard some store clerks say that some of their machines work better than others. Or that some people's phones work, and some don't
Thanks for any tips! Seems like I must be doing something wrong.
