Anyone else get accepted for Samsung Pay Beta?

Try resetting your phone and/or use the Samsung account email address you used to register your phone, if you haven't done so already. If that fails, give Samsung a call or chat live. They will help and get it squared away, because I did a chat live on Saturday (9/12) wondering why I didn't get select since last week and then yesterday, I got the email and everything worked setting up on first try. Let us know how you make out! :-\
 
SP is set up to use my fingerprint, but the retail terminal still asked for my card pin. Curiously, I never received any notification on my phone that the transaction was completed either.

Hmmm.....ok. Did you reset SP and start over, select fingerprint instead of PIN? No notification, that's odd.
 
Just a heads up for anyone who can't add a BoA card during the beta, your device has to be decrypted before you can add a card. I found a thread on XDA where someone had the same issue until he decrypted his device. I hope this is something only during the beta. It's kinda weird that encryption is not allowed.

Samsung didn't know to check this when I chatted with them nor did BoA. I'll try it out a few times and then see if I can re-encrypt the phone again.

I was able to add my BOA Debit Card but wasnt able to add my PayPal Debit Card, which is Mastercard
Will all types of card be able to be used at launch? Does anyone know?
 
The beta will only support BoA cards. It will eventually support most cards based on partnership. I'm not sure of PayPal MC though.
 
Oh...ok. Yeah that's strange it shouldn't ask for the PIN of the card. I'll try mines and see if I get the PIN request.

I think its supposed to ask for your pin if you are using a debit card, every time I used it I had to enter the pin.

Second this. Dying to get my CSP going on here to actually test it out lol.

Posted with Samsung Galaxy S6.
 
Why would one want to use this over Android Pay? I don't get it? I added my cards on it today, and all but one work, and I don't use BOA.

Samsung Pay is not officially released...the Beta limits the types of cards used...I'm sure once its released on Sept. 29, more cards would be compatible with Samsung Pay

Because Samsung Pay will work basically everywhere while Android Pay will have to be accepted by the merchant.

Finally got to try Samsung Pay beta yesterday. Purchased some stuff at Camping World on a standard Veriphone Terminal - worked fine. Last evening though, my wife and I stopped at a Red Robine Burger place here in MA and they had just installed new Ziosk (ziosk.com) terminals at every table. You can order drinks, appetizers and desserts from them but you can also pay your entire bill when you're done eating. I told our waiter what I wanted to do so he got the floor supervisor and their Manager involved, only because they had never heard of Samsung Pay. We did the transaction - smooth as butter and they were all impressed (as was I). I'm really liking this thing!
