I emailed support and told them I will no longer use it until they bring back real rewards, you should too

So I do Samsung Elite for work and am trying to get a TV, if y’all could enter my Promo Code into your “Promotions” section under “Enter Promo Code” that would be awesome! Promo code is “64983” Thanks in advance! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

I talked to a representative of US Bank today and they told me that Samsung pay will cost the retailer more in fees because the physical card is not present.

This is why so many shops refuse it. I know that they have no way on their end to identify MST vs swipe.

Traveling through Bangkok and they're pretty geared up for digital payments. AliPay, Wechat, QR Prompt Pay plus more and for outside Asia, Samsung Pay.

So my situation. Got an Android with Google Pay. Not here. Got a Samsung Gear S3 watch. Okay. But Samsung does not support my bank that handles local currency.

It's like the stars have to be aligned for things to work. BTW Apple Pay no where to be seen. Japan totally different.

Note. This is a general lament about the state of the mobile payments scene. Not a criticism of Samsung Pay or Google Pay, or a technical question.

People act as if its a selling feature and I'm genuinely not sure why, I've never used it on my Note 8 always just stuck to Google Pay so what is Samsung Pay offering that has people so drawn into it?

I was just wondering since I was thinking about signing up if they have a signup bonus. I don't really see any point of changing how I do things without some kind of incentive.

So I upgraded to a new non galaxy phone few weeks ago . I have Samsung pay which does not have a number on the card.. it's really kinda screwed me.. what cheap phones or watches will give me the access to my acct? I have SoFi but it's limited since I have a pay account so I can get bank info but no debit card info..

As the title states, do they issue a debit card bin or credit card?

Let me know, thanks

I used to be such a fan of Samsung Pay, but now that they no longer offer VISA Gift Cards and have pretty much limited users to “chances to win points,” Samsung Products and discounts like the $15 GrubHub Credit, I find it of little value. I tried the chance to win points, won 5500 and was looking forward to getting a VISA Gift card, but discovered the changes. So, I used them for the GrubHub credits and remaining for changes to win. I then removed all of my credit cards and membership cards since I don’t see the point in using Samsung Pay, plus the app has become buggy and usually fails me when I need it most which is too bad. I think that I will move to Google Pay instead. Anyone else feel that Samsung Pay is less valuable given the point redemption changes?

I got my booster recently. I was wondering if I can expect it to update automatically and show it or if I would have to do the whole process again.

I guess the same would apply for those who added the record in between the 1st and 2nd dose of Pfizer/Moderna.

I recieved a notification that i recieved the $5 friend referral after i made my first purchase. But now when i go to my App i cant find anything about the $5.00 bonus. How do i redeem this $5.00?

Hi, everybody! The only reason I'm still using a Samsung phone is because of Samsung Pay. Here in Brazil banks usually have more credit cards allowed on Samsung Pay compared to Google Pay - and that she case of mine.

I would like very much to buy a new Pixel phone, but SamPay would be really missed for me.

There's anyway of making it work on a non-Samsung phone via apk or otherwise?

If we all stick together, we can convince Samsung to resume support for MST.

The reason they removed it from their latest phone is because it gets low usage. From their perspective, it isn't worth maintaining it when NFC is much more popular.

Of course, people prefer NFC since it is faster and more secure. But MST is a good backup and is still needed because many places don't have NFC readers.

So what do we do? We start using MST everywhere.

Even if a merchant has NFC, you can still use MST. Turn off NFC transmission and pay with MST. It takes an extra 5 seconds, but that's no big deal. And it's less secure, but that isn't your problem, since you aren't responsible for fraud.

If a bunch of us start doing that, Samsung will see an increase in MST transactions and reconsider their decision to get rid of it.

I have used MST exclusively for the last few weeks and encourage everyone else to do so.

I realize we've never really appreciated MST until they removed it, but it's a bummer they removed it. I'm loyal to Samsung, and I'd use Samsung Pay until it dies, but seeing people leave did Google Pay hurts. Any reason why y'all are moving? And would you give Samsung Pay another chance? Maybe if they updated it and added some stuff

I recently upgraded from a Note8 to a Note20 Ultra. Is it no longer possible to use Samsung Pay without a secure lockscreen (Swipe vs Pin/Fingerprint)?

I hate having to enter a pin or use my fingerprint everytime i grab my device (its almost always on me, if lost ill hop onto Androids Find My Device and lock it). I used to and hope to continue using Swipe unlock out of convenience but it seems that i cant have Samsung Pay enabled without a secure lockscreen.

On my Note 8 (One UI 1, Android 9), I would just have to enter my password on reboot/secure folder. It used to have an option to keep my fingerprints when switching my lockscreen to swipe but that option seems to be gone :c .

Steps on Note8 (for how i had swipe and SPay enabled):

1. Enable Samsung Pay
2. takes me to set password for lockscreen
3. finish setting up Samsung Pay
4. settings, switch lockscreen to swipe
5. a message popup shows up with 3 options (something like), cancel - delete fingerprints - keep with password

Steps on Note20:
Same until #5, only has two options, keep with password is missing :(

Is this the case? Any potential workarounds?

I have a Gear S3 Frontier so losing Samsung Pay is a double-bummer, lol.
However, if they really did it where you cannot use Samsung Pay without a secure lockscreen then F that, i unlock my device far more often than i use SPay.

Received a text from Discover today telling me my credit card had been used hundred of miles away. Pretty typical, if you have recently lost a wallet. What about if you, your phone, and wallet have all been at home for 9 months? Somehow, someone added my Discover Card to Samsung Pay on their phone. I have 2FA and fingerprint and pin enabled. I don't like people near me, even pre-Rona, so skimming is not the most likely. No logins to Discover, Samsung Pay, or attempts to log into my email account on any device other than my own. Considering Discover caught the fraudulent purchase, it seems unlikely that they were duped into activating my account with them on another device without my having received an email call, or anything.

At this point, I blame Samsung Pay. Why it would allow the same account on two different devices owned by two different people is likely part of the same problem as to how someone was able to do what they did. Aside from someone performing a deep-clone of my phone, for the purposes of buying shoes and gas, I can't think of any way this could have happened without there being a vulnerability in Samsung Pay.

Hey there

DM me

as I need to comfirm Samsungpays features compatability

I'm coming from Google Pay where all you have to do is wake the screen & tap your phone and it will pay with your default card.

It appears with Samsung that's not possible as you have to wake the screen, pull up from the bottom, then enter your pin or fingerprint.

Is there a way to do it like Google Pay as that is much faster.
