Update 10/20/19: First 30,000 people that sign up get a $5 bonus. You can also load it with a credit card with a 3% fee or 25¢ on debit cards.
Samsung Pay has announced that they will be offering consumers the ability to apply for and receive a debit card called ‘Samsung Pay Cash’, this will run on the Mastercard network and be accepted anywhere Mastercard is accepted. Samsung Pay is a mobile wallet and the premise is that it’s accepted everywhere that a traditional debit/credit card is accepted, so I’m not really sure what the purpose of the new debit card actually is.
This card is absolutely awful. I can’t make a simple transaction without my card being restricted for “unusual activity”. I have to keep calling every time I want to verify a purchase. Will NOT be using this card anymore or ever again.
Very likely to trigger cash advance fees with credit card loads.
Tried to load with Us Bank Altitude and had my transaction denied by US bank

Is this similar to the Apple pay card? Because that card doesn’t have any cc number on it. I like it because nobody can’t steal your numbers. I get better rewards with my other cards though.
For entering the date of birth, the app only lets me scroll through each month, one at a time (have to go through every month that I have been alive). Any way around this?
Datapoint: Bofa visa treats the load as cash advance and triggers $10 cash advance fees

Overseas is undefined.

Phone model has to have Samsung Pay available in the country the phone is originally from — most international models don’t support it. You can try installing Samsung Pay app from Google Play or Samsung app store — it’ll install only if the model supports it
This has so much potential for people with 4% everything for Capital One Savor! With routing number and all, we can load it back to a bank account right?
I’d also be interested in knowing if it’s possible to drain funds to a bank account.
When I try to register it redirects to chrome, does a few other redirects and then ends in play store on samsung pay app (which is set up and works). Any idea how to get it registered?
Make sure all the apps are updated to latest version.
Try going to Settings then Apps and select Chrome — look for “set as default” and clear that. Then select Samsung Pay and clear default on that — below that select “go to supported URLs” and pick “in this app”
You can also “Force Stop” Chrome/Sam Pay/Sam Pay Framework and clear only the cache on each then restart your phone
Thanks, unfortunately it didn’t work.
