Want to buy a latte with your fitness tracker? If you use an American Express credit card, now you can. Today, AmEx announced a partnership with Jawbone that it claims will make it the first wearable fitness technology brand to accept mobile payments.
Jawbone's new Up24 retails for $199 and lets American Express cardholders pay for things by tapping the bracelet against payment readers in stores.
The tracker has an NFC—or near field communication—chip that syncs with a new app Jawbone will launch this summer.
