MCX Goes On the Defensive, Offers New Details
Bluetooth?!?
How would that work? If you think checkout lines move slow now, wait until everyone has to pair their phone to the Bluetooth terminal in that line of that store.
Although, with all this talk of QR codes and Bluetooth as the backbone of the system, maybe they're going to announce its backward compatible to an old Motorola RAZR flip phones.

There were rumors that Apple was considering this option before they decided on NFC.
No, you wouldn't have to pair anything. As I understand it, it would use Bluetooth Beacons to detect and confirm your proximity to the register. It's great for one-register shops, or shops with registers spread out (Macy's). I'm not sure how it works with stores that have many registers nearby, though, like grocery and big-box stores.
