First:   Good job on a great plan getting your debt/interest payments under control.   Too many people never figure out what you figured out and then have had the discipline to stick to...

There are essentially two ways to make automatic payments:   Either have your bank send a check every month (it's how I do my monthly bills) or have the company charge your credit card --- so I doubt if they would care what kind of card it is...

*   Well, there is a third way, have the company do an ACH transaction to pull it from your checking account.   But that way sucks for a whole lot of different reasons.  In fact, i hate that that's how Goldman insists on being paid for my Apple Card.  I almost cancelled it for that reason.

Thx for the reply, i have auto payments with my Amex card now. What I’m wondering is if I can get 3% cash back if I switch to my Apple Card, as that is what the article is about, or if it’ll just post as a typical CC charge @ 1%?
Ill txt costumer service tomorrow and see what they say, will try and update this if I can remember to!

I think Apple has in a way botched this launch. Yes it is becoming available in more areas. Yes it is my preferred method of payment. But I can’t tell you how many times I ask if a business takes ApplePay and I get the deer in the headlights stare.

Rather then ask if they support Apple Pay, I typically ask if they support “tap to pay, or mobile pay, paying with my phone, etc”.
Seems to be more widely understood, or at least that’s been my experience.
