“The year is almost up but Apple Pay is still popping up in new places,” Zac Hall reports for 9to5Mac.
“BJ’s Wholesale Club already accepted Apple Pay in its stores for members, and now BJ’s has become the second retailer to allow their store cards to be added to the Wallet app and be used for Apple Pay,” Hall reports. “Kohl’s was officially the first retailer to add Apple Pay support to their store cards in October, while JCPenney is said to be testing support ahead of a 2016 rollout.”
Hall reports, “Apple Pay is also going live with cards issued from over 60 more banks and credit unions around the country.”

MacDailyNews Take: Apple Pay. The leader in contactless payments.
I personally don’t care about new banks, I want to hear about new stores being added!
Yeah, now that my bank has been added, it would be nice to see stores supporting Apple Pay.
You want, and need both.
If you have more banks, then you will have more stores. (Once a store’s own bank is part of the ApplePay system, the store is more likely to join ApplePay with supporting terminals.)
Conversely, If you have more stores, then you will have more banks. (If several stores within a specific banking system get terminals that support ApplePay then their banks are more likely to support ApplePay.)
How do I add my BJ’s card? Can’t find a way
