Just installed. Excited to try it out!

So I installed the app, added my CIBC Visa successfully and everything seemed fine. A few hours later, before even getting to try it out, my card was no longer in the app and it wouldn't let me add it back. It said "Unable to connect to Samsung Pay temporarily. Try again later". I've tried several times since and keep getting that error message.

No luck at all.

Hmm any luck?... hope that was just a temporary blip. I managed to register my business and personal CIBC visa cards. I have access to a payment PIN pad so I tested accepting payments. It works but you need to approach the tap area slowly and make actual contact. Pretty cool... sorry guys this is new for us up here so pretty exciting

I got it working! I had to uninstall and reinstall the app. Seems to be okay now. Used it today, awesome! So easy and convenient! Looking forward to using it more.
