I was using Samsung Pay from 2017-2022, did UPI txn every month to myself and got an okayish reward rate above the debit card reward rate. There was a devaluation in terms of the vouchers offered for sure, initially there used to Amazon vouchers for redemption till 2019 and then for a while there was FK but now the options are crap. I have 2250 in GV between 2019 and 2022, don't have the history of vouchers between 2017-2019 but it must be quite a lot more.

I bought the Samsung phone just for Samsung Pay (it was really cool in 2016-17) but almost every card has NFC now (back then they didn't), UPI was actually faster and less awkward by 2019, MST was gone by 2020 or so, so don't have any reason to use Samsung Pay anymore. Switched to iPhone with Apple wallet.

My note 5 MST still works accepted everywhere. If u have an old working phone it’s gud

Clear integration and separate division of Rupay cc is still an unfinished task

Separate division as in? List bank accs and ccs separately?

Please try to answer my noob question.

AFAIK Samsung Pay renamed as Samsung Wallet. Right?

OK. Is it possible to have a Samsung mobile with Samsung Wallet without NFC feature?
The model is Galaxy F14 5G https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-f/galaxy-f14-5g-green-128gb-sm-e146bzghins/#specs

Probably. But then what would be the use? NFC is the main thing I see in it. Other than fully customizable upi id

I was about to buy a NFC feature phone. Saw the samsung wallet in Galaxy F14 and thought it will have NFC definitely. But i was wrong.

You really don't need MST in India, all of them use NFC.

There was an era about 5 years back where nfc was not present so needed mst but now since past 1 to 2 years all machines have nfc
