Do not use samsung wallet. The team has been avoiding fixing issues with it on devices that support it but are out of warrenty. New devices are unable to set up wallet. It's clearly a software issue with their secure keyboard because it rapid presses numbers and it only happens in the app. However, if you report the error, they say that your touchscreen is broken and instruct you to go get a replacement. It's a brand new device, unopened, and that's the only issue on the device.

My notification settings are set to block any pop-up ads or promotions that come through as push notifications. Not until these last couple of months. About every week lately I receive a notification in Samsung Wallet for a Sam's Club or Walmart promotion. I have checked my settings. Called customer support, cleared cache, uninstalled, and reinstalled the app. I called again today for another notification. They said they can't do anything about it that it is just part of the app now.

This WAS a great and convenient app. Now, every time you use it, you have to pull out your cards, look up your CCV, plus whatever information it doesn't feel like filling in. There's really no point to it anymore. It's not convenient at all and really saves no time. Like so many other stupid decisions Samsung has made they last few years, this too makes owning and using their products less appealing with every iteration.

The app is fine, but on occasion all cards randomly disappear. Also just learned points now expire a year from earning them. This is nowhere to be found in the "helpful" FAQ section. I stumbled across this when I pressed the reward icon in the app. Pretty tacky when you're earning a paltry 3 points per transaction unless you're buying tons of gift cards. Now it's a useless rewards program! I won't use anymore because the rewards suck, now you can't track my purchases Samsung. You lose!!

Fabulous when it works - then it randomly deactivates all my cards with no warning, leaving me unable to pay or get on the subway or bus. If you don't have your cards with you, you're stuck because you have to re-enter the security info and set it all up again before you can pay. It is easier and more reliable to just use cash or credit cards.

It's awesome when it works, but the problem is, IT ONLY WORKS HALF OF THE TIME for me at best! It really has the potential to work just about anywhere, from a Five Below to Walmart to a run-down gas station convenience store. The problem is, I have had a number of problems with it in practice: 1) About half of the time, I get a "Card Read Error" or something to that effect, and the transaction does not go through at all. 2) Sometimes, the payment actually goes through, but I do not get points for the transaction, and the transaction doesn't even show in my Samsung Pay history. 3) I have had a problem before where I simply couldn't even try to make a payment with a card anymore. I would type in my pin or use the iris scanner, but then it would not do the 30-second countdown. It just instantly failed. I was able to solve this by deleting all of the app data on my phone, re-signing in, and manually re-adding and re-authenticating every payment method in the app. It was a pain in the butt, and there was no explanation for why it happened in the first place! I will also say, I've contacted Samsung several times about each of these problems, but their responses were unhelpful.
