JCPenney
The company didn’t directly say why support for Apple Pay has been removed. But now it joins other Apple unfriendly stores like Walmart.
JCPenney is still barely still in business. They used to have a presence at every mall around here, and this is Southern California, so that’s saying something. Now, the nearest one to here is twenty odd miles away. I imagine that they are trying to whittle off any little expense they can. I don’t know if ApplePay costs them much, but I wonder if the most Penney’s shoppers would be the type to use ApplePay, anyhow.
My wife and I still shop there, her than I, but yes they seem to be going down. I usually buy Levi’s and Dockers there, when they are on sale, casual shirts too.
Does this include the Penny’s card in my iPhone’s Wallet?
I don’t think so. Rewards cards should still work.
