Target Begins Apple Pay Rollout at Select Locations

Target last month announced that it would begin accepting Apple Pay at all of its stores (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/01/22/target-apple-pay-rolling-out/) in the coming weeks. That rollout has now begun.

MacRumors readers have shared photos (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/major-retailers-that-support-nfc-payments.1806254/page-46#post-27062136) of NFC-enabled payment terminals at select Target stores in the Northeast and Midwest, including the White Plains, New York location below. The updated interface indicates that Apple Pay (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-pay/) is accepted along with Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and contactless credit cards.

The blog Appleosophy (https://appleosophy.com/2019/02/01/apple-pay-now-accepted-at-target-stores/) also ran a story about the rollout that was picked up on Reddit, where some commenters said that <!---->Apple Pay<!----> was not yet available (https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/amr1m2/apple_pay_now_accepted_at_target_stores/efo4992/) at their local Target stores, so this appears to remain a work in progress.





A spokesperson for Target confirmed with MacRumors that REDcards cannot be added to Apple Pay (https://www.macrumors.com/2019/01/23/target-confirms-no-redcard-apple-pay-support/) as part of the rollout, although future support is not ruled out. REDcards are Target-branded credit and debit cards, offering an automatic five percent off most purchases at its stores everyday.





Target was one of the largest <!---->Apple Pay<!----> holdouts in the United States. The retailer was initially committed to the failed CurrentC platform (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/06/07/currentc-beta-test-ends/) alongside other large chains such as Walmart, Best Buy, CVS, Rite-Aid, Publix, and 7-Eleven.
