Google has announced that they are combining all the different you can pay with Google into a single brand called Google Pay. Previously Google had Android Pay, Google Wallet and other brands in the space. They also have created a current offers section and have a few offers:
- Get $10 off your B&H order of $50+ when you checkout with Google Pay
- Get $5 off your Fandango tickets when you checkout with with Google Pay
- Get $10 off your instacart of $35+ order with Google Pay
Hat tip to Frequent Miler & Danny Deal Guru
I found that I am not able to check gift card balance for newly added gift cards, even for brands that I used to be able to auto update balance, such as Staples, Bestbuy etc.
Is there a setting or something that I need to turn on?
TIA
I used the $5 Fandango discount last month on fandango.com, dropping a matinee Star Wars ticket to $2.26 (after convenience fee).
Will all android pay transactions now show up as google pay? how will this affect the chase 5x? The list of the eligible merchants says andriod pay. So if android pay transactions do show up as google pay instead, will we still get the 5x? Thanks.
I’d also like to know the answer to this
I assume it’ll still code correctly, but who knows
Can confirm, Google Pay earns the 5% Chase bonus
Thanks, LS
IMO unless this doesn’t give out enticing and better rewards than Samsung pay (SP used to run gift card giveaway promos before current reward system), there is no reason for samsung users to switch to use it.
Though for non-Sp android users, it seems good change
I’m not switching to Google pay, as much as I am a fan of Google. Already used to Samsung pay on my S8 and my Gear S3 and have no interest in switching. I think Google lost out on this one – they either entered the game too late, or just didn’t consolidate early enough.
Even better, get all the movies you want for $7.50 a month with the Costco MoviePass.
