Samsung Pay adds cash-back feature

Tuesday 8 May 2018 11:45 CET | News

Samsung Pay has announced the introduction of a cash-back feature to its app, aimed to reward users for regularly spending with the wallet.

Users can access the new Cash Back panel on Samsung Pays home screen and earn about 5% cash back when paying with the wallet at retailer partners like eBay and Walmart. The new feature allows users to earn per-transaction points that are multiplied by how often they use Samsung Pay.

Mobile wallet adoption has stagnated at about 25% of eligible users, engagement remaining low, according to Business Insider. The Cash Back feature combines popular aspects of both regular credit cards and store-based wallets that come with rewards and loyalty systems, which is expected to drive users to Samsung Pay.

Samsung Pays existing rewards program was responsible for Samsung Pays 49% user increase, according to the online publication.
