New S8+ is already been installing Samsung pay.
Sorry , but as much as I like the phone..
Samsung is about to loose a customer , JUST OVER SAMSUNG PAY.
I do not want the app on my phone period.

So disable it. You can't be mad at samsung for buying a phone you already knew had samsung pay on it. Your personal info is not on it until you put it there.

Any particular reason why you don't like it? It's quite handy... And since the app can be disabled, not sure why the anger at an app. But to each their own. If everyone had a terminal (I'm looking at you, gas pumps, restaurants and behind-the-counter payment stations) and you could load your driver's license on there, I'd leave my wallet at home.

? It comes preinstalled and can be disabled. Just don't use it. Every phone has and app on it that you will not use. Google drive for instance for me. Samsung Pay is one of the main reasons I went back to Samsung though. It's that good.

I have a credit card.
I do not wishing it to continually wanting to update it's self..if I wanted to use it. I would download it.
But just since its forced on me.
I will never use it
Then it off. Disable it.
It automatically turns itself back on. Turns in notifications.
And starts back up..
Who paid for this phone. Samsung, or me.
It should be my choice. Not anybody elses.

That's funny. I disabled it and it has never come back let alone turned notifications back on. You may want to explore what you're doing to disable it. Also, you can install an app disabler.

I know.

Those bastards also put a bunch of other bloat on it too.

Dialer, browser, email, SMS, clock, etc.

Thinking about returning it.

It isn't a Pixel so .. This is common with Samsung. Some features will be there since .. well .. it is the phone they sell.

Well I guess lucky for you there are a crapton of other manufacturers to choose from! Good luck finding one that doesn't push some of their apps on their phones though. Even stock Android will have apps some people won't ever use. Wanna go the iRoute? Two words: iTunes.
