Samsung Pay awesome reactions

[Dan TheMan86]

Wait, how does this work on old credit card machines? Won't it only work on machines that have the little wifi looking logo?

OMG...it generates magnetic fields to trick old machines! Now I get it. Wow, couldn't this be hacked and used by criminals somehow?

It is safer than using the actual credit card. Anyone could steal your card and use it with no verification. At least the phone requires a pin or thumbprint to use. Also it doesn't transmit your registered card number, it uses a temporary one use number for each transaction.

I am impressed how well the MST works. The only thing missing is the ability to store your rewards cards like android pay does. Also needs more bank support. Only my bank card currently works and can't get all my rewards points.

Use beep n go for reward cards. Its great and links inside to take you straight to samsung pay from the reward card.

I can't get Samsun Pay to even open. S7E on ATT. When I click the app it tells me it needs to install. I click install and it won't ever go past the install screen. And, since it's bloatware, I can't uninstall it to re-install it. I can't even deactivate it. All I can do is force stop it and then open it again only to have it stick at the install screen.

Try downloading from Google play again. It may work. It didn't come pre installed on verizon.

Try to clear the cache and data then install it again.

- Google Play simply offered "Open" no disable or uninstall or install.

- I cleared all cache and all data and it finally offered to install with a package manager. Thanks! I'm up and running.

Oh wow, what about going through a drive through or a place where the card machine can only be accessed by the cashier? So awkward to hand them your phone. And don't you have to have your fingerprint on there for it to work? How could a cashier take it and use it?

Damn US is so backwards.. In Canada they pass us the interact machine even in drive throughs

Some places these days have a reader mounted to the outside of the building at the drive through.

Oh yeah I would never hand them my phone. Way too expensive to trust some random stranger.

I'd be afraid to hand someone my phone. I have a long cord in my car so when I go to the Starbucks drive-thru it reaches up to the window enough for her to scan. I don't trust handing someone my phone.

I'll agree with others. Never have handed my phone over to anyone for Samsung Pay. However i love the reactions i get. Sometimes it's just a "huh cool" sometimes they say "Oh, is that apple pay?"

Had one kid who actually knew exactly what i was doing and was said "i can't live without mine, i love not having to carry my debit/credit cards around with me"

Only place i've tried it where it didn't work was i use my Debit card to rent movies at RedBox. Well i tried using it and the machine just kept beeping like it wasn't taking it. So no big deal. It's worked everywhere else i've used it and it's insanely helpful!

my amex blue card has the chip, works fine........

Question is what happens when many terminals go from swiping your card to dipping it in the slot with the chip?

If they require chip to pay, then it won't work. However most of those machines will have NFC enabled.

Ok, I know some have the chip disabled, you still swipe. Didn't know if once they go to the chip they disable the swipe, making that tech in Samsung pay eventually obsolete.

So far my bank card nor any of my credit cards are compatible with Samsung Pay

 

[sherylm]

I absolutely love it! Wells Fargo was recently added as a bank, set up my S7 edge, used it at several places (Rubio's, Safeway, Best Buy, Target, and Barnes and Noble) without having to swipe my card, very convenient! Got a couple whaaat??? responses. Love, Love, love! As secure as using a chipped card.
