Just used samsung pay for the first time..

and it's pretty cool. my first attempt failed horribly at Best Buy, though. go figure, right? a tech store that had issues with it. it kept saying card error, and just wouldn't work at all, so i had to use my actual card.

then i went over to stop and shop and it worked flawlessly. got my $30 gift card to best buy for doing my first purchase too! pretty cool, just wonder why it didn't work at best buy.

Used mine at a gas station. The guy behind the counter was like, "did you just use your phone as a card?". I said yup. He turns to the woman working with him and said, "he just used his phone as a card!". And then both of them looked at and instantly reminded me of the robber from the jet.com commercial when the top of his head blows off in a cloud of purple and he declares "sorcery". I told them how it work and that they just had their first experience with Samsung pay and I walked out.

That's crazy I was making purchases with Google wallet on my nexus 4 years ago. I switched to android pay because my bank doesn't support samsung pay. I haven't tried it out yet.

Decided to try it out yesterday (my 2nd day with the phone) and so far so good. Had my gift card before my first purchase was in my hands. Then headed to Best Buy to use that to purchase a fast wireless charger for cheap. Only issue I ran into was the card reader at BB tried to read twice but failed the 2nd time. Just wish it could work with gas pumps where you have to insert the card.

i never used android pay because it never supported any of my cards....then samsung pay came along, supported every card i have, and uses the magnetic field instead of needing to keep NFC on all the time, and it just seems so much better. the way it's implemented with the swipe up from lock screen is awesome and real fast.

I had no idea that I could just tap it on the card reader and it would basically emulate a credit card swiping. I tried it earlier today and it works fine, and I love that NFC is no longer needed. This will make it much easier to have payments accepted literally anywhere now.

I used mine at a vending machine. A $1.50 bottle of Diet Coke landed me a $30 Best Buy gift card. Awesome!

Will that work if you go back to factory?
