Our Verdict
These do not earn 3% back on the Citi AT&T card and Chase Ink cards do not work as Chase Business cards are not supported by Samsung Pay. Samsung Pay also has their own rewards program and I assume these purchases would count as a transaction. I think gift cards from the previous deal should still be available as well. Southwest & Overstock are both break even before taking into account credit card rewards, shame about the low volume limits!

Anyone else getting this error?
“We’re sorry, the transaction could not be completed at this time. Any charge to your card will be immediately refunded. Please try again later.”
I’ve been getting that since yesterday.
I got the same error message, they have limited my account to $500 for Gift card purchases.
I’m well over $500 of gift card purchases too. You might be right that they are limiting us.
This morning I tried another Southwest after receiving that message yesterday. It went through. But when I tried another one, it told me to contact customer service. Looks like I am stopped from buying gift cards in SS Pay for at least 48 hours (the duration they said needed to look into my “problem”.
DP: buying gift card from Samsung Pay is coded as 2x AMEX Small Business.
Fine print is showing a maximum of $500 worth of gift cards can be purchased during the promotional period (12/8-12/31).
How would this work if you buy SW with AmEx Platinum? Would this qualify for 200 credit?
No, as it would code as Samsung Pay I believe.
Good to know before I tried it. The whole MPX debacle has left me to now change airlines to some which I never fly. Thanks Doc
My Galaxy Grand Prim does not work for this on Cricket 🙁
cheapest way to get a samsung pay capable phone anyone? (iphone user here…). i’d sign up for a free ringplus+ plan with it, thus i need a cheap compatible phone.
Not gonna be cheap. Ur looking at spending some 300+ if ur lucky. Has to at least be a galaxy note 5, galaxy s6 or newer phone, so looming at $300+
Your details are a little off. The Southwest card is $100, not $50, so slightly more scale-able. Also, the daily limit is $200 or 2 gift cards, whichever comes first. Finally, remember to space your transactions at least 5 minutes apart to maximize Samsung reward points.
Thanks, Nick. Updated post.
woops, sorry for the incorrect info in my email!
No need to apologize, you helped us!
Limit is actually 4 gift cards.
Limit is either 4 cards or $200 cumulative. I have been buying several cards everyday and have been locked out after 4 cards usually, today I got locked out after 3 cards having reached a cumulative of $200 (2SW 1TRU)
Just to add it did not let me buy the 3rd SW and showed a message talking about the $200 limit
