If you’ve downloaded iOS 8.1 today, and you’re itching to try it, there are few stores ready to help you try out the latest tech.

Apple Pay is the latest entry in the ongoing mobile payment war that has had trouble catching on in the U.S. Where other solutions waited for businesses to join, Apple took the proactive approach of negotiating with stores prior to launch to make sure there would be numerous options ready to accept payments from the first day.

Here is a list of the stores ready for you to try the new payment system immediately.

  • Aéropostale
  • Apple
  • Babies R Us
  • BJ’s
  • Bloomingdales
  • Champs Sports
  • Chevron
  • Duane Reade
  • Extra Mile
