Re: Samsung Pay?

I read an article today from The Verge that announced that Samsung Pay has signed up 14 new banks in the US and that they will be active "in the near future" apparently by the end of this year.

Chase has previously made comments that they will be on Samsung Pay "later this year"

I'm glad that Chase and Discover is going to be on board, even if its later, as My main daily cards are Chase, Discover and AMEX.

Discover has a killer promo now on where you get 10% back on purchases made with Apple Pay. Is it too much to hope for for the same thing on Samsung Pay???

Why does that suck? Just include Chase Pay in your phone and you're good to go.

It sucks because these big companies fight uniformity for their own benefit and couldn't care less about the customer. It's no different than when the US carriers fought Google's NFC payment system.

Chase is a horrible company that I will never do business with again. Too many past issues for me to overlook. Sounds like nothing has changed. Hope this stupid Chase pay crap goes down in a ball of fire.

A rep a Chase just told me yesterday it would be the end of this year.

Looks like Chase is coming out with their own form of mobile payments. I hope this doesn't mean they aren't going to team up with Samsung Pay.

Financial providers and the carrier's fought Wallet because of the marketing data Google insisted on collecting from their customers. Amex was a co-founder of Softcard and was one of the early Samsung Pay participants. That says a lot.

Looks like I'll be using Samsung Pay over Android Pay when Chase is added in November. I've used it with existing POS terminals and it works great.

This I can't wait for. I see the commercials about Samsung Pay and I just want to go out and use it. waiting on Chase.

My thought is that Chase is using the lowest tech to do this payment. Samsung's tech that simulates a card swipe even on old-school store hardware is a home run IMO.

Great news! Thanks for sharing.
So Chase is in the mix.
Awesome!

Exactly.

Sorry for the multiple posts above. I was just catching-up on this thread.

So I just got a Citi bank Visa card. Entered the info into Samsung Pay and it tells me the card issuer is not supported. When I click on the supported issuers, lo and behold, there is Citi listed.
Great Samsung, keep up the good work...

Not even close to the same as Samsung Pay.

There are specific cards from each issuer that are allowed and that is up to the issuer.

Also if you have a prepaid card, from what I understand, no one is allowing prepaid cards.

Citi double cash card is what I signed up for. I love it. Basically I get 2% off on everything.

Mine is a Best Buy Visa from Citi. I would have assumed if it was a Citi card, it would work. Guess not.

So I have been using Samsung Pay for few weeks and it has been working flawlessly.

Trying to set it up for my wife, but she doesnt want to use fingerprint on her phone. She uses pin. When I am trying to setup samsung pay...I see there is an option to skip fingerprint and use secure pin. When I click on this...it just keeps saying that its opening a secure keypad for me to enter pin...but nothing happens.

Does anyone know what the issue is here. She is using Touchwiz with Samsung keyboard on her phone.

It's more complicated than that. It's the type of card within the bank. I contacted Citi asking them when my American Airlines credit card will work with Samsung Pay. There response was that many Citi cards will soon work with Samsung Pay the American Airlines card will never work. Some kind of contractual thing I believe.

Yes, I fully understand that. When Samsung says Bank they mean the cards issued by the Bank not cards issued by 3rd parties through a Bank.

I would do initial set up with fingerprint and switch to PIN afterwards

 

[r56mcs]

I can use pin or fingerprint now.
