I hope that Discover won't require iOS 9 to support Apple Pay... I like my jailbroken iPhone.
Wow. You put your credit cards on a jailbroken phone? Living on the edge. Do you loosen the brake lines on your car just for fun? ;)

My jailbreaking days ended when I put my credit and debit cards on my phone.

I'd like it too. Jailbroken phones are vulnerable to exploit of their Apple Pay. :D

Hopefully US Bank Corporate Visa isn't far behind! Not really sure why "Corporate" cards seem to have an extra technical hurdle. It can't really be based on the corporate customers not allowing it, or then they would roll out corporation by corporation rather than card issuer by card issuer.

I do know that corporate cards do somehow flag as being special....when I've used mine at Home Depot and other places, the cashier asks if I want to include a PO Number. Maybe ApplePay has to create a token card number that still flags as a corporate card and allows this data to be passed back to the company.
I'd imagine there was a decent amount of work getting the verification process to work the right way. When you add a personal card to verify, frequently you have to get a text message or email to the account holder's contact information, which for corporate cards would probably just be the AR department.
