Anyone else agree with me?
apple pay is still an pretty new service so it will take time to get everybody on board i suppose. Having cards work with apple pay i don't think is make or break since only an small minority of people will use apple pay.

Is the Discover Chrome your only CC? if so, yeah, if you wanted to try out Apple Pay, will be a while waiting for Discover.
Depending on scores you could get a CapOne, AMEX, or BofA and those would work in your iPhone 6.
Just remember: Apple Pay only allows 8 cards in the phone at one time, so limit your app spree to less than that

Not really. Discover's been around alot longer than applepay and I don't and won't have applepay. Still enjoy getting my cashback the old fashioned way.

Its going to be a very long time before you can use apple pay exclusively. If ever. So, its not a big deal IMO.
With regard to EMV I think its like anything else. People dislike change. We've been swiping cards for a long time. Especially older people will be annoyed having to "learn" a new thing.
another problem is an lot of retailers turned off emv on the machines so you can't even use it if you wanted to.

I have had my debit card on Apple Pay since the day they activated it on iOS 8 but haven't had the occasion to use it yet. So really, there's not a ton to be missed yet. I'll probably add my Cap One card to Apple Pay just because but will most likely continue to not use it until it becomes a little more universal (Mickey-Ds and Walgreens take it but not a whole lot else near me). I will say I have used Apple Pay for web purchases in apps (Target most recently) - that's handy to just use the ol' thumb print.
You haven't gone to McDonalds just to use the Apple Pay???
I was with my dad at McD last Saturday, and he tried to buy our lunch by swiping his credit card. I pushed his hand out of the way and explained that I had to HAD TO use my iPhone because I don't get many chances to use Apple Pay.
