Note 5 - Tried Samsung Pay - 1st time

[NatalieB2015]

Wowzie. Finally had a reason to spend money today and I decided to use Samsung Pay. 3 Registers and 3 successes. It is very cool. The fingerprint worked perfectly each time. I even impressed a 20 something (who is about 3 decades younger than me) and earned some serious "cool" factor. lol

US Bank text message alerts notified me that I had a non-card transaction and the app itself tracks the number of purchases processed along with the merchant and amount.

I am very impressed.

Congratulations Natalie B... I was in the Beta Test. It's really cool - and if that 20 something was 3 decades younger than you, we're in the same ballpark (I'm 65). The Bank Alerts (I use Bank of America) are almost instantaneous too. Their register/reader blings and then my email alert blings... I love it!

Re: No Longer a Samsung Pay Virgin

Now if Chase would allow it's card to be used on SP ..... I am looking forward to this. One device, pay almost anywhere.

Yeah, I know - that sucks. Did you see the link to the FCC Consumer Complaint page in another thread here? Can't hurt to let them know!

I'm pretty sure as the word gets out from both we users and all the vendors, all the big card companies will be jumping on the band wagon!

That's probably a question for Samsung or USAA I think!

They got very quiet about it. In the beginning they were saying they were looking into it. Now nothing. I think we will find they signed an exclusive with android pay. I've been with USAA for 20 years. Just activated my Samsung Pay with my new Bank of America account today

That sucks. I was hoping to use SP with my usaa debit card. I guess I'll try Android Pay, but that defeats part of the reason I just bought this Note 5 today over the Nexus 6P.

More banks will be supported as time goes on. They will keep working with them to add more support.

I need that support before the 11th. I want some free stuff ;-)

I'll admit I didn't catch this until the 2nd store - the phone vibrates while it is searching for card reader. Once my finger print unlocked the app it started vibrating. I was so worried about holding the line up I pre-unlocked the app. At the 3rd store I decided to wait until the clerk was ready for me to swipe. Call it superstition but no sense having the phone recognize another reader by accident. Lol

The vibration is nice - prevents accidental swiping by unlocking the app when I don't intend to.

I saw a comment on Facebook from a Chase representative saying that they would be on it later this year. I have my Visa credit card with them.

I used Samsung pay at a grocery store, and it was so fast, and easy! I was really surprised at how quick it processed with the swipe reader. Then tried it at Target last night, but kept getting card reader error.

I'm all but done with Samsung pay. Set it up the first time and all worked. Then the damn thing gave me the can't process your transaction now error please try again later.

I ended up resetting get the app entering my info again and it worked.

Went to use it tonight and the same error pops up. I'll do it one more time and if it craps out its deleted and not coming back. I'll use something else.

It's these kinds of problems that give Samsung a bad name and IMO they've earned it.

Frustrating.
