You don't need reception of any kind to do an NFC payment, as long as the terminal has network access (even through ethernet).

the Prime code thing is a good point tho

Prime discounts were automatically applied if you use the credit card on your Amazon account I thought

Automatic loyalty cards are already supported in Apple Pay and I assume Google Pay as well.

		In theory, but not in practice. The devil is in the details. Yes, Apple wallet and Google wallet allows to store loyalty cards. And those cards can be summoned using respectively VAS and SmartTap. But... while all payment terminals are compatible to VAS and SmartTap, very few have the firmware and a POS that can make sense of it. So, in practice, beside Walgreens and maybe CSV, it is not much adopted.
