Samsung has updated its Samsung Pay mobile payment service with the ability to search for and use coupons within the app.
Samsung Pay users can upload membership and loyalty cards from select retailers, including grocers, convenience stores, and pharmacies. Coupons are linked to member accounts and savings are applied automatically during checkout with Samsung Pay.
The app supports gift cards, too, as well as rewards programs. Samsung Pay now offers a cloud storage feature to help users restore membership and reward account details when adding Samsung Pay to a new device. Samsung says its mobile payment service works with over 500 banks nationwide, covering more than 80% of all U.S. debit and credit cards.
