Samsung Pay Announces Support for Membership and Loyalty Cards in the U.S.

Cut Wallet Clutter with New Samsung Pay Feature

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Samsung Electronics America, Inc. announced today that Samsung Pay—the
most widely accepted mobile payment system—is giving U.S. users another
way to slim down their physical wallets with the support of membership
features. Samsung Pay users now have easy, direct access to merchant
membership and loyalty cards to receive savings, rewards and other
offers—all on their supported Samsung Galaxy smartphone.


The average American household carries almost 30 loyalty cards.1
With the new feature announced today, Samsung Pay lets users access all
of their merchant membership and loyalty cards from one, easy-to-use
application on the supported Samsung Galaxy smartphone that is already
in their hands. With Samsung Pay, users no longer have to worry about
fumbling through their wallet to find the right card, or worse,
forgetting it and missing out on savings.

Users can upload and store merchant membership and loyalty cards in
Samsung Pay—including from their gym, drug store, grocery store or any
of their favorite retailers. Samsung Pay’s new membership feature can
also be used to store other cards such as insurance and personal
identification cards for safe keeping. To use membership or loyalty
cards, users simply launch the Samsung Pay app, select the appropriate
card, hold their Samsung Galaxy smartphone screen up to the merchant’s
scanner, and let the card’s barcode be scanned at the register.

“With this new feature, Samsung Pay is giving users quick access to
their favorite membership and loyalty programs and making shopping even
easier,” said Nana Murugesan, VP of Strategy and Operations for Samsung
Electronics America. “Right now, shoppers have several things—credit and
debit cards, membership cards, coupons, gift cards—they need to take out
of their wallets and scan at the register. Samsung is simplifying the
checkout experience by bringing those items to your phone, representing
our next step toward a world without physical wallets.”
