Keep in mind each purchase has to be for at least $20. That should be noted in the post. Should be “when you complete three taps of minimum $20 each with Google Pay”

Luckily, got this offer! But have never used Google pay in stores yet. Anyone know if I can use at my regular go to stores like Costco, Target, Kroger, Sprouts etc. Thanks!

Yes, the vast majority of stores accept Google Pay. It’s just NFC Payments.

Google Pay is the rebranded Android Pay, the technology was later adopted by Apple as Apple Pay, and now is widely used by pretty much every Credit Card as “Tab to Pay”. Look for the Wireless Payment symbol at the terminal, or ask the cashier if they support “Apple Pay”.

I have seen very few stores that do not accept NFC Payments. Surprisingly, Ralph’s — a Kroger Brand — is one of the stores that does not accept NFC Payments; I do not know about Kroger, proper but it seems to be a corporate decision to not support NFC Payments.

Same with my local Kroger stores. I’ve only encountered one store in my metro area within the past year which did not accept tap-to-pay.

I work for Kroger, and our tap to pay only started working this year. It’s been an option on the credit card readers this entire time, but corporate had decided to keep it turned off.
