And alot are very old that for some reason they read the number but it doesn't work. I'm in the US and travel alot. Though yes it is so good when you can use it where no one else can

              And to all the people who don't understand Samsung Pay. You can use Samsung Pay at nearly ANY credit card terminal. Not just the ones that say "Apple Pay Ready". It sends a magnetic plus to standard credit card swipers that mimics an actual credit card swipe but without sending your real credit card number. I've had this work on 10 year old machines as well as new ones.

                  I use Android Pay, Apple Pay, and Samsung Pay. Acceptance is like 85% Samsung, 50% Apple, 40% Android. Debit is still better especially in gas stations. Cash rules over all.

                    42, 15 Mar 2018Except when the pos does not have nfc/contactless support. Then its uselessYes, but only in a limited number of places that it actually can be used. It is very limited especially if you look world-wide
