maaaaaaaaaaaaan, I do not use ANY of those apps that allow you to hold your phone up to pay for jack shit! When I buy stuff I use cash or my paypal credit card OR my paypal debit card.

To me its not worth the "convenience" People are stupid...... they let the system set them up to get got!
 
For the cats saying they don't use the app and all, that's all good. Continue to swipe, insert or use cash. Nothing wrong with that (we can argue the pro/cons of cash & swipe in another thread).

But at the end of the day, if my credit card gets hacked using Android pay (unlikely, but you never know), then I'd alert the cc issuer of fraudulent purchases and go from there. New card gets issued, and I'm back to square one. No harm on my end because the credit was never my money to begin with (The onus is on the banks).

However, there's no actual data (cc data) being transmitted when using the app since they use a virtual account number. Therefore, if home Depot gets hacked again, your info is safe. Phone gets lost, cool. Remote wipe my phone via a Web browser. Can't remote wipe a lost wallet.

Dudes act like credit cards aren't easy to steal data from.

Before the chips were installed it was easy to get data.
 
I use Android Pay in certain spots and it is convenient. However it won't work on magnetic readers like Samsung Pay does so I'm protected. Also I keep NFC on my phone turned off until I plan on using Android Pay so I'm good.

Place I use Android Pay the most is BJs and a local grocery store I go to a lot.

This man gets it!

You're far more likely to get skimmed using regular cards. I use android pay which utitizes NFC and not MST like Samsung Pay. The flaw will be patched and life will go on. These big box stores and the like, storing your card info on their servers, is a much bigger risk.
