Using Apple Pay, why the merchant gets my credit card number ?
I am using exclusively Apple Pay when I can, because the merchant don't get the credit card number. The number he has can't be used. Especially great when the merchant get hacked and hackers monitors the transactions.
That's the power of Apple Pay and why I use it!
If you are using Lyft on your iPhone and paying with Apple Pay, I am inviting you to check your Ride History, and look at the method of payment used. It shows my VISA, with the 4 ending digits. A number I never provided to Lyft.
If you check the receipt on your email, it shows Apple Pay (Visa) as the method of payment.
How is it even possible for Lyft to get my real credit card member if I'm using Apple Pay?
What that means ? Payments done through apps on our iPhone using Apple Pay don't really use Apple Pay ? Apps have the possibility to get our credit card number ?
So, if I understand correctly, the credit card number is not stored securely... Am I right ?
Thanks for all the explication you can provide on how Lyft got my credit card number.
When I showed the issue to the Apple Store, they couldn't believe it. But I showed them. No one had an answer. Apple Pay is supposed to hide your credit card number. That's what they confirmed.
PS
I don't know if Uber get it too, but at least, they show everywhere that the method of payment is Apple Pay.
