How to Pay with Apple Pay in BP?
To pay with Apple Pay at a gas station, hold your iPhone near a reader that will enable you to launch the Apple Wallet app automatically. Then tap the pay button on the gas pump and follow some more steps to complete the payment.

You can use Apple Pay at BP gas stations by using their BPme Rewards gas app. Get the BPme Rewards app by simply opening the BP gas app on your iPhone, and then selecting Apple Pay as the payment method. You can register at BP or Amoco gas stations using their app. And when you enter a gas station, just tap the app to pay.

Some gas stations still require you to pay with your credit card when you want to pay with Apple Pay. Some gas stations are reluctant to accept Apple Pay when a debit card is used; for example, many ARCO gas stations only accept Apple Pay when a debit card is used.
