Google Pay is awesome

[robinhelenehebert]

I thought I'd miss Samsung Pay but this is just as good

Any phone that has NFC can use Google pay, even Samsung phones.

Is Google Pay good enough to not need to carry credit cards?

In the UK the limit that you can pay with Google Pay per transaction is £30, maybe around $40?

Got it!

Google Pay, Apple pay or any pay that uses NFC payment system is same, nothing special

Samsung pay in addition to NFC also use MST technology that will let you use it at pretty much every place even though they don't have NFC terminals. So at this point Samsung pay is most useful.

It's good enough to make it preferred when available. Much faster/easier than CC chip reader payment. However, not anywhere close to universal access, so you'll need to carry cards.

I've always been tempted to try it but afraid to mess with it.

It works at the costco here in Maryland.

Not yet, but more and more places accept it now. I always prefer to use Google play if I can. Much faster than waiting for chip card to authorize, plus it's more secure. It always uses a randomized generate number instead of your real card number so if the store get hacked, your number is safe.

This is a very location dependent question.

I was like this for the longest time, after a year of using it I love it and much prefer over my card.

Iv'e never tried Google pay because my understanding is that it's not as widely accepted as Samsung Pay which I've used quite a bit.
