What has your experience with Samsung Pay been like?

[Dan Aronson]

I'm in Australia where paypass rules and they HATE signature cards. So I registered my Am Ex to Samsung pay, and now it's a tap and go card. I love it. Problem is, I can't get it to register another card, and it's a Citi Card, which is one that is supported. Any help I can get would be wonderful!

The first three weeks I used it at several stores and it worked great. Then the Framework was updated and now it won't work. Tried re-installing SP...took multiple tries before downloading. Now it will not register my fingerprint nor will the keyboard come up. I really liked it so I am sorry it's no longer working. I have a Galaxy S6. No other problems. It will not let me uninstall or re-install either SP or SP Framework. Anybody have an anwer?

Soft reset, clear cache, reinstall app and re add card.

More misses that hits. I have 2 credit/ debit cards on SP. No success with American express whatsoever. Citibank card only successful at BJs. Called institutions and all is fine on their ends. 3 Wal-Mart I've tried with ZERO% success. I wonder if Wal-Mart pay is blocking Samsung Pay. I've been reluctant to try other stores, especially if the lines are long. I'll try again when they are not so busy to avoid possible embarrassment if SP fails again.

I don't use a Citi Card so I have no firsthand knowledge but you may wish to check and see if the particular card that you have from Citi is in fact one that is approved for use with Samsung Pay. Here in the US there are some banks that allow only some of the cards they issue work with Samsung Pay.

Walmart is actively blocking all phone payment systems other than their own. Though not all Walmart stores have the new software implemented to do this blocking operational yet.

Besides the good advice from Nathan Innocent I would also suggest you remove the older versions of the Samsung Pay and Samsung Pay Framework apks from the phone. An app like Solid Explorer will allow you to search for *.apk and if you find duplicates delete all but the latest. This is how I finally solved this problem a while back on my Verizon Note 5.
