Oh okok, thanks for clearing that up! Good thing is that as long as the store accept credit card, Samsung pay would be supported, right?

anyone try samsung pay at Tesco before?

Here's the link but not sure whether it's by invitation or open to all SPay users SPay Survey
RM250 as it is the daily contactless payment limit for Maybank

The RM250 limit is set by Bank Negara Malaysia (as safety precautions....). However, we can always "reset" this RM250 limit by swiping the same PHYSICAL credit card (using 6-digit PIN) to other/same terminal to reset the SPay limit back to zero... it's like split-payment...

Eg:
Total amount to pay = RM1,200

1st = SPay = RM250
2nd = Physical card = RM10
3rd = SPay = RM250
4th = Physical card = RM190
5th = SPay = RM250
6th = Physical card = RM250...

All done on the same terminal within minutes...

Alternatively, you can also use SPay for the Zero-Interest credit card payment anytime.... just select 6-month, 12-month, 24-month, etc. Zero-Interest options offered by the banks....

No need paywave support. Any credit card terminal will do except petrol station and other terminals that requires to slot-in the credit card.

Those ordinary terminals that just swipe credit card will work (99%....Depends on the terminal communication with Visa)

I hate queuing behind lady (sometimes guys too..) looking for cents in the handbag/purse to pay exact amount...

This situation will use Wave feature instead of MST.
To avoid troublesome of MST unless the merchant specifically mentions that it supports Samsung Pay, I'll ask the cashier to use Wave. Once agreed upon, I'll take my phone out to proceed for Payment.
I have done this at TGV, Aeon Big, McD and Watson.

some terminal not supported??....i doubt so....

i actually like older model terminal, as they are more receptive to my samsung pay mst compare to new version.

my very first samsung pay transaction is with a very old, no idea what model credit card terminal.....older than verifone 520, that time still beta testing, not open to public.

even the terminal got paywave, i still like to use mst.

have yet to encounter number 2....will try this coming week, when my transaction cross the RM250

problem with number 3 mostly on new terminal where it support both paywave and mst, please be reminded the mst is very powerful, even at 2-3 inch distance it will still detect, if you want to use mst, keep some distance between the terminal, else you will easily get error as both  paywave and swipe slot detected the signal.

my first mst transaction at mcdonald, still new....dont know how to tap properly, i stick my phone on the swipe slot, when the receipt come out....is pay wave transaction

sorry for confusing,

my very first samsung pay transaction is with a restaurant, using mst, around nov-dec last year ( still in beta testing, not yet official launch) as their terminal is very old model, no paywave from public bank

i was saying, my first mst transaction attempt at mcdonald, when their terminal accept both pay wave and mst.

i would not call it failed because paywave intercept and process the signal first, my second attempt, i pull some distance, still using mst, it works fine, same location....

also, if you encounter error, remember to log the time, model and merchant name, report to samsung pay, so they can follow up and check with the bank or merchant.

i am actually reverse, i encounter more card read error if i use paywave, need few more attempt.

only with terminal that dont have special stand alone paywave reader, because i cannot grasp the exact location to beam.

just curious, what kind of error message did you get when it failed??

i don't believe it is not supported, more to bank block or disallow this kind of transaction or they did not set the terminal properly??

in singapore, they actually block my mst at mcdonald, only paywave goes through.
