Samsung Pay now supports a wide range of retailer gift cards.
People can add their gift card balance to Samsung Pay and use it to make purchases as the corresponding retailer. Some of the merchants supporting gift cards in Samsung Pay include Toys’R’Us, Domino’s, eBay, GameStop, Nike, and Staples. Samsung said more companies will support gift cards in the month ahead.
Samsung Pay also adds the ability to purchase certain types of gift cards from within the app itself. Samsung Pay is available to the Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, and Note 5 smartphones.
It uses both NFC and MST technology and is compatible with the payment terminals at a wide range of retailers around the country.
