I understand you have tap and pay, but I have heard you have done away with swiping years ago.Oh yes we have all the needed hardware and software but lacking in implementation !
I've used Apple Pay and am using Android Pay so it's not like options are not there.
That said it'd be nice to have a choice to use Samsung Pay.
Mark I paid at a Speedway gas station the other day with my watch and the cashier was amazed lol. Said people pay with their phones often but she's never seen with the watch.Love paying with my Gear S3. "Yes, I just paid with my watch."
Only reason I haven't tried at Chipotle is they always seem to be in a major hurry. Also I've been ordering ahead since I can skip the line that wayIt works at Chipotle. Used it today. Has worked at different locations. The cashiers never think it will work until I hold the phone beside the screen where they swipe the card. Even the manager is astonished that it works.
When I had a 7Edge and also with the Note 7, it worked on a little square reader at a cupcake shop last yearIt definitely works with the square plug in card reader. It takes awhile for it to transmit so I leave the phone near the square until the cashier let me know it went through.
Easy, it only works with Samsung hardware therefore ppl are forced to keep buying Samsung devices.My question is since we don't get charged any fee and get points on top of that, what does samsung get out of it? Why do they care?
Has anyone actually got anything from the rewards part of it? I've been using mine more and more and love it!!!
Oh, trust me. Samsung is likely getting some sort of revenue sharing percentage kickback from the credit card companies, every time Samsung pay is used to make a purchase.My question is since we don't get charged any fee and get points on top of that, what does samsung get out of it?

You don't have to unlock and open app? You can swipe up from the home screen and then do fingerprint.. tap and done. Takes no time.Using your phone is not anymore convenient than using yours debit card. In fact I found it more of a process to take phone out, unlock, open app, add pin, then spend 20-45 seconds finding the sweet spot, then finally entering in your debit pin and wait for approval. And still it may fail sometimes and you would repeat while getting all sweaty while people behind you are watching to see what the big deal is and why are you taking so darn long attempting this gimmick 3 times while the clerk is resetting the machine for you with each failed attempt. Lol. THIS IS TRUE STORY.
It wasn't till I started using it with my watch gear s3 that made it more convenient than cash or card.
Again samsung isn't giving people anything they cant do without samsung pay.
I prefer the phone and watch using Samsung Pay over credit cards. I can see why some prefer cards too though.
