For anybody who has the Boxed.com offer on Amex and hasn't used it yet (only a week left!) be sure to check Samsung Pay to see if you have an elevated deal... mine was 16%. 
I used a 15% promo for being a first-time user, but the cash back pending with Samsung Pay is for the before-discount amount. I have no idea if that will 'stick', but I'll be happy either way. 
I was primarily concerned with triggering the $20 Amex Offer (which I did) but if everything happens to stack I'll be especially pleased.
Note: The Boxed.com offer within Samsung Pay is now showing 2.5% for me, so the higher amount is apparently a one-and-done deal (i.e. if you have it and intend to place more than one order, be sure to place your largest order first).
For those with Samsung Pay who will be doing shopping today or Monday be sure to check the 'Cash Back Awards' within the app. It works like a portal (i.e. like Ebates/Rakuten or TCB) and right now there are some significant offers.
I just used a 20% offer on JCPenny for the second time (it didn't go away after the first use). The first time is tracking correctly so far and I'll update later if/when my second order tracks successfully.
Also, there's an offer for Walmart Grocery, $15 off any order. Like the JCPenney offer I can already see my purchase from a few days ago tracking, and so far it seems to be available for another use. I consider $15 back from a $31 purchase to be pretty good.
The only drawback to Samsung Pay Cash Back Awards is that they take forever to pay out - as in, sometimes up to two or three months - but so far all my purchases have tracked as expected without fail. I don't mind the wait when the percentage is significantly higher than Rakuten and TCB.

Well, that didn't take long:
Not bad for a $42 purchase.
I just recently started using samsung pay, mainly because I do not carry all of my cards with me anymore.
I definitely need to start taking advantage of the cashback offers.
Giving this a bump, since most of my Samsung Pay cash rewards have finally posted. It takes a while - around three months or so - but so far everything has tracked as promised.
I've actually earned more cash back with Samsung Pay over the last year than I have with several of my rewards credit cards.
I admit my own numbers are somewhat skewed by the generous $15 offer for using Walmart Grocery that was available back in the winter (which could be used over and over) and that's not likely to come around again, but hopefully there will be other lucrative offers in the future.
The last time I cashed-out was May 2019, so my current total is for almost exactly one year:

Baller over there! 😎
Been seeing talks that Walmart has new software that can reject Samsung Pay as a payment method, similar to Home Depot's new system. Has anyone here tried out SP at their local store within the past week?
Mine still worked a few days ago, but if this is true than that's a huge kick in the teeth. Please tell me I'm not the only weirdo who hates how stubborn select retailers are being, especially in today's world!
Personally I wish all major merchants were set up for contactless payment and that all would support the big three (Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay). Nothing wrong with Wal-Mart pushing their own mobile payment system, and under the right circumstances (loyalty program or other incentives) I would consider using a merchant specific payment system.
My buddy has Samsung Pay, many times when had has paid with his phone at various places he gets the "oh we don't take that here" of course it goes through because they don't understand that Samsung Pay works differently from Apple Pay and Google Pay. Personally I don't think it is the person trying to use Samsung Pay is being a jerk, with Samsung Pay since it works on pretty much any card reader I know several people who no longer carry other cards.
Personally, Samsung isn't for me, I do like that many banks are going contactless and we are seeing more and more contactless terminals in stores so I get to use my Google Pay far more than I used to, I only wish HEB/Central Market did contactless.
