Enough with the issuers. Just use a credit card.

Apple should be worried about getting more stores to accept it.

I long for the day when I see RBC, TD Canada Trust, CIBC, BMO, Scotia Bank, etc on that list.

In the mean time, I'm enjoying Apple Pay with my Amex at more stores than I thought possible.
