        It stored your credit card into the phone, technically you are still paying using your credit card. SO, you cash back and whatsoever are still counted.
        what's good for mobile payment is more secure than the contactless card. Anyone can tap your card without authentication but mobile payment at least need you to unlock it before transaction.

          When/if mobile payment gives me more cashback than my cards then I will give it a go.

            Damn. Thanks to all the people who replied to my question

            Too many to reply to individually haha.
            Much appreciated

            Samsung Pay does sound pretty good. But I think long term once more places accept NFC, where I live it's already very common, Google Pay will probably end up being the most used as it's cross manufacturer which should give it an advantage. Good for those who have a Samsung to have an extra option though

I didn't use Apple pay yet at the time. Chase cancelled my card immediately. I thought I was screwed. As soon as I set up to have my card replaced, new card showed up right away on Apple Pay but my card came in 5 days later.

I personally have a Samsung and use Samsung Pay, it is fast, convenient and you get rewards you can use in Samsung online shop, not that this is that important but it is something.
