With today's announcement of Samsung Pay's impending release in the US, I was wondering how one might get involved in the beta testing. According to The Verge, " 'select US users' will be able to take part in a beta test beginning on August 25th." Any way to sign up to be one of those "select users" or will they hand it out semi-randomly?
Sorry. I'm guessing this should be in Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
No clue. Didn't really mention anything so id say its invite only. Unfortunately mum is the word for Canada overall

Yeah I heard about this. I've rooted and tripped knox so I couldn't even if I wanted to. If it's really cool then maybe I won't root the S7... Nahhhh who am I kidding lol

I hear ya. I've resisted doing a full root (did pingpong) to see how this would turn out. When I upgraded in April it was this feature that made me go for the S6 instead of the Note 4. I'm hoping someday someone somewhere will find away to have both root and Samsung Pay. For now, I'm just keeping my options open until I can decide if it's worth it.
Try calling them.

I chatted with support and they have no info whatsoever. Good luck. Let us know what you find out.
I've found the link to be able to download the Samsung Pay Beta .apk file but I haven't figured out how to get it to install. Does someone else want to try? I'm stuck on a Samsung S6 Edge running 5.0.2. I wonder if you have to have 5.1.1 to run it.
Korea Link - https://kr.mpay.samsung.com/apk
US Link - https://us.mpay.samsung.com/apk
I've only been able to get the Korean link to load. Once I log in with my Samsung account, I can download and install the apk, it even runs, but doesn't go past the start button.....I tried changing the settings for which app is used for tap and pay, and I even changed the advanced nfc settings. Nothing.
Here's a download link for the Samsung Pay .apk file I found on the Korean link. It lets me install it on my Samsung S6 Edge+ running android 5.1.1.

It lets you install it, but does it actually work? And is it in Korean?

You can install but have not been able to get it to open. So can't tell if its in Korean or not. The US link is dead.
I signed into the following link with my Samsung account and was able to download an apk. Will not install for me though, probably because i'm not on 5.1.1

It is in english from what I can tell and if your on 5.1.1 it lets you install it. However, so far all I can do it push the start button and nothing happens.

Your normal samsung account? Or did you get a korean account?
Normal Samsung account. The Korean website uses the same login and account you just have to translate everything with Google translate it guess what your clicking until you get to the .apk file, but the Samsung account and ID are forsure the same.
I got it installed with the apk i downloaded with my samsung account on 5.1.1, but it doesn't do anything when trying to launch it.

I called today and they told me to download the Samsung Plus app from the Google playstore. I downloaded it agreed to the terms and logged in and then inside the app there was a link that said "Join Samsung Pay Beta". So far it doesn't do anything, but it seems promising that it might work tomorrow after the beta has officially begun.

The Sprint S6 just received a firmware update today that specifies that the update includes a new feature named 'Samsung Pay'. Once the update completes I'll check out the Samsung Plus app to see if I can join the beta.
Update: Samsung Pay app available, but it's just an advertisement saying Welcome and that it is coming soon. I found nothing in the Samsung Plus app for signing up for the Samsung Pay beta either. Tick tock...
Ya i got the ota today as well. Theres an icon and when u open it there is just info on it. No option to set it up.
Whats the difference between samsung pay and google wallet?
Sent from my SM-G920P using XDA Free mobile app
Samsung pay supports both NFC and MST. Google wallet, Android Pay, and Apple pay only support NFC. Samsung has the only phones that supports MST. Basicly, it means you can use your phone to pay even when the store has old outdated terminals.

The official version of the Samsung Pay app for Verizon phones is in the Google Play store now, but it's not working properly. Everyone who has installed it gets a message, "Update failed. Failed to download the latest version. Try again later." It also generates a notice, "PaymentFramework_VZW installation failed."
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.spay
FWIW, someone on Android Central contacted Samsung. They confirmed it is the legit version, but they say it isn't going live until October 20.
Downloaded fine for me and installed security policy update, but stays on screen showing that security policy update is required. I did see in the Play Store that it isn't going live until 10/20 though, so we'll see.
I am on an OE2 rooted device with the SU Binary removed and SU App hidden by Hide My Root. FWIW, Android Pay is installed and working.

.......so then why the f*(% would they release it on the play store and not actually activate it until the 20th? That's just stupid.

The whole thing is strange. Verizon's CSRs have been saying that it "should" work now -- and it apparently does work on some Note 5's -- but Samsung says it won't be activated until the 20th, when Verizon releases a second system update at noon.
Not showing up in the store now, maybe they took it down.

Still showing up for me, but I've heard several people (especially those with Note 5's) say they can't see it. Here's the link that works for me: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.spay

I have been checking for the past 2 days and the link still does not work for me. Hopefully tomorrow it will work for all. I have a Galaxy S6 and I did get the update from Verizon to my device.
For those that have the app appearing in the play store can you please post your version of the Samsung Pay Framework and the Software build on your devices? I am looking to see if there is any patterns.
Ok, people, let's think logically here, shall we?
1.) People complained because it was on the playstore but not working. It was pulled and now people complain because they can't find it on the playstore. Come on people...really? I think people just want something to complain about.
2.) This is one I fell into because I had a laps in judgement. The fact that we had to find a link to find it in the playstore should be an indication that it wasn't ready to be downloaded yet. Clearly, Samsung wanted to go ahead and have it loaded up there, but keep it hidden until it was time to release it publicly.
I for one am glad they decided to pull it. It was getting negative reviews before even going live because people (myself included, I admit) did not think.
Check the app store again. Samsung updated it about two hours ago, and the new app is loading perfectly. I was able to install it, app three cards (2 Citibank and Amex), and run to the store to try it out. (Worked well.)
Note that all this happened without a second Verizon OTA update.
Weird....I was on here and clicked on the link and it took me to the Samsung pay app and I tried downloading it and it kept saying I needed to sign into my Google account. Which I am. So I finally booted to recovery and cleared my cache and now when I try and click on the link, it says not found.

It just pulled up for me (kept refreshing the link and it just now showed up). Got it installed. Now time to test it out!
Finally worked for me! Can't wait to test it out!
It finally showed up for me. It downloaded and installed. When I open Samsung pay I get a message that says a software update is required. When I click the update button, Samsung pay closes and I get a pop up that says unfortunately Samsung pay had stopped. I am on OC3.

You need to be on OG9 for Samsung Pay to work.
Installed Samsung Pay from the Play Store but had problems validating my American Express credit card. When I tried to activate, I got a message that a validation code had been sent to my email and I needed to enter that code into the Samsung Pay app to get validated. However, it took so long for the code email to arrive that I think the app timed out and gave me a message that the code was invalid. This repeated 5 or 6 times and eventually I was told to validate by calling American Express. This worked.
Just downloaded it from the Gear app store, and seems to be working nicely from a quick glance. Didn't book a car yet, but it connected to my account, found my location etc. Also seemed to be working on 3g with the watch remotely connected to the phone (not via BT), which means it should work even if the phone isn't on you (though I'd totally test this for real before counting on it )
Annoying that you need a companion phone app even if you have the normal app installed on your phone, bit seems to work well.

Agree, though at least it seems to also work when connected remotely to the phone, so hopefully this means you don't need to have the phone with you for it to work.
For those interested, eBay app is now also available in the store since earlier today...

I also can't find it in the store. Probably not available in every country...
I'm in the US though. My guess is the same Samsung-phones-only restriction that applies to paid apps also applies to free apps that support some kind of in-app billing - which Uber would have to, if it plugs into a separate app instead of the regular Play Store one.
I really hope Samsung fixes this soon.
Can't find Uber on Samsung Apps for S2. No matter paid or free apss. Samsung phone.

Hi everyone! Can anyone get the installation file from the Samsung App store and upload it here? it's possible?
Even with paid apps now showing up, presumably meaning everyone should have access to all the same apps, I still can't see the Uber app in the store!
Maybe the S2 sport and classic have different hardware numbers or something, and Uber did something dumb and only enabled the app for one of them? I'm on classic; any other classic users want to chime in with whether or not you can access the Uber app?
I'm on sport version and I still can't find this app in the store. News about Uber is fake? I didn't find any information about it but this forum

I tried contacting Uber support about this and they replied with instructions to download the phone app. Replied letting them know it's customary to read support tickets before answering them. Will update if I get anything useful from them.
Just switched phone from Samsung Galaxy Alpha to Blackberry Priv. Uber S2 app was available on the Alpha but can't find it on the Priv. Pretty annoying. Anyone else notice the same?
I can not find the app in Gear Store - Have a Gear S2 sport version - bought in Norway.
Uber responded this on twitter to me:
"@SimenPR Please note that the Uber app is only available for the S2 model."
Very little helpful in other words.... I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge..
nothing here - Gear S2 Classic + BlackBerry Priv

I didn't touch anything. Saw i had a new notification and that is what popped up. It says to push and hold back button to install samsung pay. When i do that it opens galaxy apps on my phone (note 5) and i get a message stating app is unavailable. Going to l go to the store tonight or tomorrow and try it to see what happens.

I got the same message. The app is installed on my watch (Gear S2 Classic Platinum with Bluetooth). My phone is a S7 Edge. I get the "This app is not available for your device. (com.samsung.android.samsungpay.gear.2290:4002)" error message. Check occasionally, to see if there is an update to the phone app, but so far nothing. BTW, I have been using Samsung Pay, on the S7 Edge from the day I received it, and it works fine.
Can't they just not make it to where you can select, either Samsung Pay or Android Pay???
Here we go!
Ok. Got this far anyway. So disappointed.

I finally found Samsung Pay Beta app, but sadly I got the same error. Gear S2 Classic Bluetooth/Wi-Fi in USA here.
I haven't gotten the watch firmware update yet, but my Gear app on my Note 4 phone just started showing a new link to "Samsung Pay Beta." Clicking on it (so far) gets an error message: "this app is not available for your device."
where do I download app?
New update. Won't let me add any of my Wells Fargo cards at this time, but it would let me add my Amazon Chase Visa. Going to give it a try here in a little bit. Wish me luck!

You're probably right and I really don't see why it should since its nothing that would be carrier specific.

I've had this watch for a few months using it with my Pixel XL and Samsung pay has been working fine since I got it. Recently it hasn't been working and every time I open the gear app I get a message saying Samsung pay has stopped working. I tried resetting the watch, uninstalling everything related to it from my pixel and set it up as if it was new. Now there isn't even an option for Samsung pay in the gear app and holding the back button does nothing. Does anyone know why it disappeared?

I'm in the U.S. I did hear that the international version doesn't support Samsung pay but it's definitely a U.S version. And it's not in the settings of the gear app. Pretty much everywhere there used to be something about Samsung pay it's now missing from.

If your rooted use an older version like 1.2 and see if that works
Installing the APK didn't work. I'm not rooted but I do have the beta of Android O installed. Maybe that has something to do with it

Oh well. Hopefully Samsung will update it soon to be compatible.
I just downgraded back to Nougat and can confirm that the beta version of Android O is what broke Samsung pay. So just a warning to anyone who has a gear S3 and wants to try Android O, you won't be able to use Samsung pay.
