Samsung Pay Stopped Working at Sprouts?

[antman451]

Been using Samsung Pay for a long time. Works perfectly.

Except...at Sprouts Farmers Market (like a less hippie version of Whole Foods, if you don't have them near you). And only recently. Last few weeks. I'm in a Sprouts at least three times a week, and have made hundreds of transactions there with Samsung Pay, and now recently I keep getting weird declined errors almost every single time. Both cards, credit and debit. Even failed on a Samsung Visa gift card.

I had gotten so used to it working there that I never even checked to make sure my wallet was on me before walking in, and now...may just pull the card out instead of using my phone.

What's going on? Anyone know?

And yes, it works fine EVERYWHERE else.

I too use SP at Sprouts Market, 3-4 times a month, last used it on 10/27/17. I will most likely use it sometime this week and will see what happens and let you know my experience.

Thanks. It’s driving me crazy. Basically unusable there for me now.

I used SP successfully yesterday at a Sprouts Market, Westlake Village, CA. It worked flawlessly as before when I used it. Samsung S6 Edge+, Amex card for transaction. Don't know if that helps or not?

Mine is still weird. If I use just a credit card on SP at Sprouts, it works like 50% of the time. With the credit option of a debit card on SP, it hasn't worked like the last 5 times in a row. Still works 100% everywhere else, any card.

Irritating for people in line behind me to hear "That's declined" and then pull out the physical card of the one I was using on SP and have it work fine.

Maybe I'll open up another Samsung Pay ticket and have them investigate further.
