Something such as this is actually useful. Its annoying for some services to have their reward programs collected on a separate card, so you have to load up your wallet with two cards for one use. I'll never store my primary credit info in an app when it's easy enough to pull the one card out of my wallet and tap it, but for the extra crap like rewards and gift cards, why not?

Actually, Apple pay is awesome. Then only drawback is the lack of retailers accepting it. My hope is that by the end of the year, when nearly all retailers have to change out their credit card terminals, that a majority will have to take Apple Pay, Android Pay, and any others that may come around.

These options are way more secure than handing a credit card to the cashier. In addition, the credit card #s are never shown on the phone. With fingerprint technology, anyone who might come across the phone, theft or loss, would not be able to use it to purchase anything.
