Anyone using Android Pay on their 6p?

[getbretweir]

I've always considered handing a vendor my debit card was easier than giving them my phone, so I just never got into Android Pay. I also read got inferior it is to Samsung Pay, so it's just a feature that never interested me.

Are any of you guys using it on your 6p? And if so, which specific features make it easier than using your debit card instead?

I have it, but haven't used it yet. I may try it once to see what all the hype is about.

I've used it a few times. It's definitely quicker than getting out you wallet and credit card. The only issue is that so few places support it.

Nope. Chase has yet to support it. I heard 2016 they would but nothing so far.

Used it today at McDonalds. I'd use it more, but my typical day doesn't have me visiting places that accept it.

I haven't run into anywhere where I had to hand the vendor my phone to use Android Pay (and the previous Google Wallet) unless it was the drive-thru.

I've used it a couple times. I just wish my bank supported it. Was nice getting the 20 dollars Best Buy.

I've used it once. I haven't read into it to much, but I wonder how your credit card company would back you on a fraud case after using it to make a purchase? I understand how Google claims its more secure then your card alone.... Just don't know yet. Hacking and credit card theft goes hand in hand.

I used it once at Walgreens just to get the $20 Best Buy reward. I wouldn't have used it otherwise. It was a smart promotion because I actually discovered how fast and easy it is. If you actually go somewhere where it's supported, it *IS* faster than using your card.

In case you don't know... When merchant is ready to take payment, you just hold your phone up to the terminal, put your finger on the phone's reader and cha-ching, you paid.

I did the exact same thing! Paid $1 for some chapstick and got that sweet $20 return.

Used it once to try it out. That's all. Faster to just pull out my wallet and that's accepted almost everywhere meanwhile mobile payments are accepted about 25% of the time.

Yes, all the time for the vending machine at work. Somehow those tap-to-pay prices get out of sync with cash prices and I sometimes end up getting charged less. Oops.

I'm also using it more often now with the fingerprint reader. I've got an Android Wear watch which makes Android Pay a little annoying to use without a fingerprint reader (smart unlock means having to enter your code after the initial swipe).

There is a free Chromecast promo going now. Been using mine so I get a free one.

I saw this but my Android Pay app doesn't show anything. Does yours show something that indicates this promo is active for you?

 

[Almeuit]

I haven't used it yet. I really should set it up and use it though.

 

[maverick7526]

I use it whenever I go to whole foods. I try it at places that have the NFC tag, but sometimes it doesn't work.

It came in really handy when I forgot my cc at home - used it at Trader Joe's. Super easy and now looking for more places to use it.

Used it at McD's and Walgreens just last week. Much quicker and secure and you get looks from ppl behind you like "whoa thats cool!" haha
