RIVERWOODS — Discover cardmembers can now make payments in the United States using Samsung Pay on the latest Samsung Galaxy smartphones and wearables.

Samsung Pay works at payment terminals that use both Magnetic Secure Transmission and Near Field Communication technology. Discover cardmembers can make payments using Samsung Pay at any merchant location where Discover cards are accepted and where the merchant also accepts Samsung Pay.

“The ability to use Samsung Pay provides Discover cardmembers with yet another innovative and convenient way to pay,” said Diane Offereins, Discover's president of payment services. “As a growing number of consumers use their mobile devices to make every day purchases, we continue to expand our digital services so cardmembers have more choice in how they use their Discover cards.”

When using Samsung Pay, cardmembers continue to receive the same benefits and services that they have come to expect from Discover, like flexible rewards, 100 percent U.S.-based customer service and protection against unauthorized purchases on their Discover card.

In addition to Discover Cashback Bonus® and Miles rewards, cardmembers can also earn Samsung Rewards points when they use Samsung Pay. With Samsung Rewards, cardmembers can redeem the points they earn for Samsung products, gift cards from favorite stores, and entry into instant-win giveaways of trips and other exciting prizes.

Samsung Pay is available on the latest Samsung Galaxy devices and wearables including: Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S6 edge+, Galaxy Note5, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 active, Gear S2 (with NFC only) and Gear S3.
