Does anyone use Samsung Pay? I just got the s7 active and it prompted me to use it.

I loaded a card and like the feel of it but wanted to ask if it is reliable and will and place with a swipe accept it?

I like how there is an option to swipe up from the home screen to pull up the card.

Cheers!

i use it....it has been pretty reliable for me when I remember to use it. The act of reaching to wallet and getting card is a very ingrained thing and hard to break.

I've never been to a card scanner that could't use it....many times people are surprised it works because "We don't have that." just like the commercials show.

I use it daily through my Samsung Gear S3 Frontier watch. It works literally everywhere i've tried except gas stations at the pump.

Also in the Samsung Pay app on your phone, I enjoy the points game to get rewards for using Samsung Pay.

I've been using it for about 6 months. Works great everywhere except Walmart. I get the same response from people all the time, telling me I can't pay with my phone...

The rewards points are a nice bonus, around Christmas they ran a bunch of deals on gift cards, and gear watches, but I didn't have enough points saved.

It is probably the only thing I will miss about Samsung when I switch to a pixel next year

I have been wondering if people actually use Apple Pay and Saumsung Pay. I never see anyone using them. Around BR at least. Figured they're more popular in tech-friendly cities

Use it all the damn time. You get points from Samsung as well. The best way to take full advantage of it is to load your credit card on it, if they have an agreement with Samsung, and use it as your primary. You'll get the points from Samsung as well as your credit card company. Win, Win.

I've only tried it at places where it's obvious that it will work and I've never had any issues.


They also have 20% discounts on gift cards purchased through the Samsung Pay app to places like domino's and regal theaters on a regular basis. That's a great deal if you are already going to spend money at those places.

Thanks to this thread, I've been able to remove all the plastic tags from my key ring. I've been waiting for this moment for a while.

Thanks guys
