My Samsung Pay works great at most places but I can't seem to get it work at Walmart. It starts to work and when it asks for my pin number, it never works. Anyone else have this problem?

Make sure to use your debit card pin and not your Samsung pay pin.

Same as you, Chase.
It worked once, but when I went another time, I had just activated my new chipped debit card a few minutes prior and the card was not working. I used my real Pin too.
That's very odd, because I have a chipped debit as well. Might be an update with certain stores maybe? Or something at chase?

Mine works on most registers in my local Walmart. There's 3 or 3 in the store that give me an issue. I also use a Chase card

If you just got a new card try removing it from Samsung pay and adding it again. Sometime the automatic update screws up

Same here. Ended up getting a text from my bank in the middle of the transaction because the system kept rejecting the payment method or possibly the pin 3 times and my bank thought it was unusual activity. Went to Stater Bros and Walgreens shortly after and both transactions worked fine. What's up with Wal-Mart's POS system?

Wal-Mart has been blocking any phone payment that is not their Wal-Mart pay system. Not all stores have this blocking installed, which is why some are still having success using Samsung Pay (and why some are saying that it suddenly stops working).

I refuse to shop at Wal-Mart due to this new policy.
