As far as Best Buy goes EMV and NFC (Apple Pay) hardware has been rolled out to all locations, it is being enabled with a software update that is currently complete in the vast majority of stores, and will be in all stores very shortly.

I checked my local one on Friday - No go. 

There was a mastercard site that someone posted that if they take X MC (was it contactless?) then they'll likely/maybe accept Apple Pay. You can search the big Apple Pay thread or someone may post it here.

The iOS app is "Mastercard Nearby": https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mastercard-nearby/id778074772?mt=8

The site is: http://www.mastercard.com/contactless/

That's strange, out of curiosity, did you actually try it? Or did the associate just say that it didn't work?

Associate said they'd had update but not activated yet, or something to that effect. I wasn't in to buy something, just driving by and doing some recon.

Gotcha. As far as I am aware it should be enabled in all stores at this point, but it's possible that not all associates are aware. If the EMV slot has the lights flashing on both sides of it, then NFC should be activated as well.

You can also check on the Maps app on iPhone (not google maps, the native Apple maps app)

Search for a merchant and open up the "Overview", there will be an Apple Pay logo next to the Price section if they take it. If they don't, there will just be an empty space next to the $$$ icons.

I don't know how often it's updated but 2 of the 5 best buys I searched near me had the Apple Pay icon.

On Maps (apple, not google) on my iphone I tried three near me, three in the greater LA area and two in the bay area. Nope.

Good to know that Apple's maps has that functionality. I just tried the local GameStop and no go. Best Buy is a little farther afield, I might try it later.

It is good but not 100% right. I tried 2 Chevron stations that show Apple Pay ready on their website, it said only 1 get Apple Pay and the other there is no icon, the one without the icon I used Apple Pay there this past week.
