@jeremyburge Red though my face may be I disagree with you. Tourists are already spending money they don’t need to and a person would be an idiot to visit Japan and not add a Suica card to their wallet. Suffice it to say I don’t think the one-time setup should be denigrated and would rather shame systems that don’t offer any form of open loop payment, but it’s also not my website. 😉

@nedley ha ha yes I do agree. Earlier versions of this site had more tiers, but it ended up being more daunting for a tourist looking to answer “can i just tap and rise or do i need to do _anything_ first”. But I’ll definitely look to bring back more ways to elevate Apple Wallet over basic “buy a physical card or use cash” as clearly it’s a great experience once setup
