What store supports Apple Pay?

AppleInsider may earn an affiliate commission on purchases made through links on our site.

From now until January 30, Dave & Buster's is offering a 50% discount for anyone who uses Apple Pay to load a Power Card.

Dave & Busters is an American restaurant-meets-arcade, and they've got a new promo to bring people into their stores. Starting now and lasting until the end of January, anyone who uses the official Dave & Buster's app can get 50% off when they load their Power Card using Apple Pay.

A Power Card functions similarly to traditional arcade tokens but with the convenience of a debit card. Users can opt for loading a digital Power Card from within the app. Power Card token packages ranging from 300 to 750 tokens can purchased from within the official Dave & Busters app. When purchasing, a customer must select Apple Pay as their payment plan, otherwise they will not receive the discount.

According to Dave & Busters, the promotion works for both new and existing customers, but is restricted to a single purchase only. It may not be a bad idea to pool together friends and buy a larger package to maximize the discount.

Dave & Buster's also states that the promotion only includes U.S. Dave & Buster's locations, so Canadian arcade-goers are out of luck this time around.

Really great for a chain

I was hesitant to try Dave and Busters Because it’s a chain and I have 5 children. We go to a local place that is very similar to Dave and Busters on Wednesday nights for half
Off night. We found out Dave and Busters had half off night on Wednesdays as well on arcade games. I love the app on the phone. I can honestly say the service has been top notch from every employee we have encountered. The minute we walked in we loved the people at the front desk. They were patient and explained everything to us even though it was late. The bartenders don’t ignore u even if u are asking for a water or refill. They are fast and kind. The maintenance guy that fixes the machines is so freaking fast. He really does a great job. The VR people were their in a minute as soon as my daughter bought a VR on the app. The girl that closes in the ticket shop is like the kindest most patient girl. U can imagine with 5 kids trying to pick things out around closing it’s probably exhausting and annoying but she is sooooo sweet to us. We also get 150 more credits per $100 we spend then the local place. We will be back next week! Ty guys at Tempe Marketplace for being a class act !

So awesome you had a winning experience!

Terrible time

We took our daughter here for the first time, my husband and I have been 100 times before and usually, we love it. We were so excited to bring her here and we were going to have lunch and then play games. When we first walked in, we waited forever at the counter for someone to walk over to seat us, we had to flag someone down to do so. We shrugged it off. Even though it wasn’t that busy. We sat down and our waitress seemed to have an attitude. We placed our drink order and my daughter got the snow globe drink, she was excited because it had the light up cube in it. When the waitress brought it back. It didn’t have the cube and it wasn’t the same drink she ordered. She said well we are out of those.. it would have been nice to know that before hand? She was extremely rude about it. She didn’t get us napkins or anything even though we ordered ribs. She never refilled our drinks. She never checked on us. Honestly it was terrible. Worst food experience I have had so far. The meal was over cooked and honestly I have eaten the same thing here a million times and it just wasn’t up to par. Then the games- almost every game we tried to play went down. It was already down. We didn’t even get to play all of them and had to spend most of the time waiting for someone to come and fix it because it took our chips. This was my daughters birthday present and I have to say, Dave and busters has started going down hill. I’m really disappointed.

We’re sorry that your daughter's birthday celebration was anything other than awesome.

Just one issue otherwise awesome

The Clacksmas D&B in Oregon. Great place nice people decent prize selection clean facility. Would have been 5 stars but the server at lunch was required to make us give her a credit card to “hold” when we sat in the booth to order food. We are two early 40’s adults with a 10 year old son. We ordered 3 meals and 2 apps and 3 beverages. Nothing unusual. I am a manager with one of the two largest banks in the US. This practice is a huge risk for fraud, card loss, etc. A card should not be out of the owners possession in that manner. I gave her a card we don’t use and let her know that was not the method we’d be paying with. She was polite and explained the policy is to prevent dine and dash. I’d rather have simply been given the opportunity to pay right away prior to the food prep. She said the procedure is mandatory. I also could have paid cash up front. This is not a good process and made an otherwise terrific visit uncomfortable. And what if I had no cards? Not a good look. We are from out of state so we are not here often but this bears mentioning. We won’t eat here again.

Thank you for the feedback on the credit card and sharing the potential for what could happen. We have shared this with our operations team.
