I tried Samsung Pay today

[p51]

Samsung Pay uses NFC and MST

It should work in much more places

But can you have both on your phone & pick & choose depending on which store you're at, or are you locked into having to choose one or the other.

If you can see a slider where you normally would slide your credit card, your phone will work there with Samsung Pay.

Yes. If the pinpad has an NFC logo the tap there (looks like a wifi logo). The good news is that you get a check mark on your phone showing it was accepted. Otherwise use the CC swipe area as normal.

Hahahaha I love that! Especially when they are like sir that won't work and they end up calling their co-workers over to show them that it does work. I end up having to explain why Samsung pay works and Apple doesn't.

Yes!
That's exactly what used to happen to me at the beginning. Still happens from time to time!
