The card        JH> number on my phone is different than the one on my watch,        JH> so I can pay without exposing my physical card number.        JH> Apple Pay also uses "transaction-specific dynamic security        JH> codes" which can help protect against someone capturing        JH> that information to use again (card skimming).              From what I'm reading about them is that both Gpay and Apay are        completely free. What do they get out of offering the ability        for free?              --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.58        * Origin: (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 103/705 106/201 124/5016 128/260 135/220 225 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 203/0 218/700 221/1 6 360 226/30 227/114 229/110       SEEN-BY: 229/112 113 307 317 426 428 470 664 700 240/1120 266/512       SEEN-BY: 280/464 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 341/66       SEEN-BY: 341/234 396/45 423/81 460/58 467/888 633/280 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2320/105 5020/400 5075/35       PATH: 221/1 280/464 292/854 229/426           |
