Anyone using Android Pay on their 6p?

It works with Chase cards, just no reward points. But if I'm just using it at Walgreens or McDonalds, I don't really care.

It won't let me add any of my Chase cards.

Easy places for people to get taps towards the Chromecast code:

McDonald's
Subway
Panera
Walgreens
Trader Joe's
Whole Foods (just buy candy or something)
Some Best Buys and GameStops now have NFC enabled terminals now.

Lots of gas stations have them on the payment terminals inside. Shouldn't be too hard to rack up taps by the end of February, honestly. You can check out the main pages for Android and Apple's NFC payment services for vendors that accept tap-to-pay platforms.

I used Android Pay at Footlocker while buying new running shoes, and I received an email with a $10 gift card that I was able to apply to my Android Pay account.

did that come from Foot Locker, I was just gonna order a pair on Nike.com but if true I'll just run to the mall.

I use it at Walgreens and CVS regularly. I like it better than regular credit cards because its faster and also stores my loyalty cards (including Costco and AAA). It's let me cut down my wallet thickness.

But that's why Samsung Pay eliminates that problem. It's accepted almost anywhere and regardless of which merchant POS they have, it works.

As long as you have one of the few phones that supports Samsung Pay. Completely out of luck if you don't have an S6 or Note 5. Android pay works on a lot more phones, including older ones.

And there aren't a large number of banks who support Samsung Pay either. I want to love Samsung Pay, but since my corporate amex is my only supported card I can only use it while traveling on business

Yes it did. You need to sign up for their rewards program.

I agree it's much faster especially with the fingerprint and getting the receipts right in app.

But the amount of merchants that support Android Pay are slim as Apple Pay. That's the drawback.

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.

Even now in the McDonalds drive-thru if you hold up your phone they actually grab the terminal and will hold at the window for you to do tap-to-pay now (or at least at my local location anyway) so you're not actually having to had it to anyone. To me this is great because I generally have my phone in a way more convenient spot (coat breast pocket during the winter months, otherwise it's sitting in the cup holder) rather than having to try and re-adjust in the seat and dig my wallet out of my front pocket where I carry it.

I tried it just the other day at the supermarket. I put my finger on the fingerprint scanner and tapped the supermarket NFC scanner with my phone. It emitted a nasty buzz and my N6P displayed a screen requesting my password. Not wishing to have to enter my password while in the supermarket queue, I tried again making sure my finger was securely touching the fingerprint scanner before tapping the supermarket NFC scanner. Again, a nasty buzz and the password input screen. The people behind me in the queue were beginning to give me annoying looks, so I pulled my credit card out of my wallet and did the old fashioned credit card swipe instead.

I've used it a handful at times at Trader Joe's. Just accepted the offer to opt into offers from Android Pay (within the app) so I will definitely try to use it more. Right now, Trader Joe's is the only place I got on a regular basis (few times a month) that accepts it. I'm using my Citibank card.

I unlock my phone with fingerprint then tap and it works. I've had occasion recently where the fingerprint wasn't reading right but not when trying to tap and pay.

I used Google wallet every day for years, then Android pay appeared and it doesn't work properly or reliably with root, so I have not been able to use it with my 6p. Such a shame.

Mcdonalds had android pay signs and stickers all over the drive through window. Asked the guy how to pay with android pay. He looked at me like I was speaking Chinese. He had no idea. Had to use my card. Have no problem with paying indoors though.

I use it on my Nexus 5. I love it. Mostly use it at Trader Joe's and Walgreens. I am a bit peeved that I cannot use it at Starbucks.

Minor deviation / rant:
Starbucks offer free Wi-Fi courtesy of Google
But accepts Apple Pay and not Android Pay and
has PMA wireless charging when bulk of the phones have Qi....

wonder who makes those technology related decisions at Pike's Place?

 

[mustang02]

I've been using it at Walgreen's and best buy. I don't have any tap promo so I think I'm wasting my time.

Cvs doesn't accept Android pay.

 

[skshrews]

Quite a bit as a local farmstand/grocery store and Best Buy both accept Android Pay.
First time using it was a little confusing, but after that, very convenient, don't need to carry a wallet, no signing some scratched up checkout terminal screen.
No paper receipt, all electronic

Just wish more places would accept it.

Why won't these companies adapt to technology? I hate carrying my wallet, credit & debit cards.

It took over a year for Apple to bring Apple Pay to get up here and they only allow American Express. I sold my 128GB iPhone 6S but when I had it, only a few supported.

I tried android Pay, using my RBC Visa and was told it wasn't supported. This was at Metro grocery store and Best Buy.

It seems only Petro Canada & Shell supports it but I fill up at Costco.

The problem is greed, Scotiabank only works with Samsung and Bell. CIBC is with Rogers but I don't bank there.

They have an app. Which if your a regular there is better to use. Since you can order ahead, and earn rewards.
