Re: How's the Samsung Pay beta trial going?

I signed up for it, here's to hoping I get picked to try it out.

Is this going to be an issue?

Bank of America issued us new cards with the chips on the front (still has strip on back), and so did Cabela's. At Walmart yesterday, it wouldn't let me swipe my card...said I had to insert it.

So if we can no longer swipe a chipped card at places that have the chip reader, will we be able to "swipe" those cards with Samsung Pay?

So this will be practically useless to most people including me who use these types of terminals every day...

I was not aware any walmart had a system that let you slide the card into it. Never seen them. And I know about the chips, as of right now, the chips on my cards are basically worthless.

That may pose a problem if it doesn't let you swipe the card then, yes.

Most of the new readers are not active yet. Not sure what the timetable on them being active, or what the hold up is.

Nope. That picture clearly shows a new style card reader being used with Samsung Pay.

I don't think Samsung would roll out this software if it was going to be obsolete in a month or two. Samsung Pay will probably provide a security certificate unto the device that will allow for chipped cards to be used as normal.

Check your banks vs the banks that are allowed.

I didn't signup because they don't support my bank.

Samsung pay help

I have an att n5 and got approved for the beta. Instructions say click on the pay app and it'll prompt to install. I see nothing! Tried rebooting, checking for update with no luck. Any ideas?

I really hope that's the case.

I've noticed while playing with Samsung Pay that if you have NFC turned off, once you fire up Pay that it will turn on NFC by itself, then turn NFC off when its done. That's great if you don't want NFC turned on all the time

 

[digitalbreak]

So, I got approved and tried my Citi card and it failed to register for obvious reasons as it is not supported in the beta

Hmm no luck turning it on for me. Wonder if I disabled something?

added my BofaA debit card and made a purchase at lunchtime. worked smoothly without a hitch. held the phone up to the terminal and it picked up right away asking me to confirm the price as if i swiped a card.

side note, i disabled everything knox related but not rooted since i'm on AT&T.

Just got my email a little while ago. Will be setting up my card and will try it out later at dinner. It's Friday so even though I'm in the office, no work getting done today

I got my email this morning. It got buried in the promotions folder. Anyone having any issues with MasterCard's? My BoA card worked like a charm, but not the 2nd card.
