Apple/Google Pay advantages:
- You don't need to take your wallet with you and have a form of payment that works in most places. (The local home depot does not take contactless so out of luck there).
- You are running or biking and have your phone but nothing else. Odds are you can find a place that accepts your phone's Google/Apple pay that has food.
- You forgot your wallet again and are at the grocery, lunch place with friends, or any place with contactless. You are in business.
- You have access to all of your credit/debit cards, plus event tickets. You don't need to drag 8 cards along in your wallet to have access to the card with the most benefits or cashback for a particular situation you encounter in your day.
- You are using the mobile website of a restaurant or pizzeria. You don't have to type your credit card and info in. You just double click a button and poof, your payment info is securely sent.
- You are using a transit system with contactless and you don't need a special transit card.
- You are using a mobile application that accepts apple/google pay. Keep going with a click, you don't need a wallet or trust the application/data server with your own card information.
- Apple pay generates a small percentage of interchange for Tim Cook and his shareholders. (not your advantage but his. Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
- You can keep your wallet at home and avoid losing or theft. If your phone gets stolen, that's a pain for the phone, but your Apple Pay data is secure.
