It should work anywhere that touchless mastercard is accepted, though I do think that vendors can turn off apple pay specifically to avoid the fee.

I don't think merchants have to pay anything extra to accept Apple Pay. It's the banks that have to pay a "marketing fee" to Apple to let their cards work with Apple Pay.

Not just touchless, since there’s a physical card as well.
