I hate this so much. Why the hell is samsung pay showing me ads despite me paying a bomb for an ultra?? So annoying. I can't even find a way to turn it off.

Yeah this annoys me as well lol.

It can be quite buggy at times too.
Like for example, I cannot link my phone number to my UPI ID on the app now just because I removed it once before.
After removal, the status should have been updated to reflect that the phone number is linked to another app, but it didn't.
And now when I try to re-link it, it just says this phone number is already linked.

It also doesn't accept some of my credit cards.

So in the end I've just moved back to Cred for my credit cards and Bhim for UPI.

Arent you guys using Private DNS ? You are the product but at least decide whom you want to be sold to . With so many services available NextDNS is best and their free tier should be enough for most with 3lac DNS queries . If not paid is also cheap

Ha bhai.
I know cross sell :)
But Cross sell ko cross sell ?
I already have savings, FD, loan with them.
Aur kitna cross sell bhai ?

And these pop-ups came at that when you are doing transaction and you are about to hit "go" !!!
Sorry don't have relationship with HDFC

I mostly use IDFC's services and offerings
 
Their RM is no better.
Every month I get a call to invest in some scheme or buy a plan or open another FD and what not.

Their only saving grace is their splendid app.
I don't know who my RM is

I have only interacted with two people from branch and they always come to my place to do any formalities

You can turn it off by clicking 'Join Now'.

It's not an ad. There are only 3-4 such promotions on the Samsung wallet, and they have paid me Rs. 600 so far. Samsung is paying good money to people for using different functionalities of the wallet.

My personal experience with Samsung wallet has been very positive. It's highly functional and yet simple to use. I can't say the same thing about gpay or phonepe.

And, if I'm not wrong, it's the only fully functional wallet app we have in India. It can store your aadhaar, insurance, puc, reservations etc. Everything in one place.

Did you open your account online? Are you enrolled in Select or Wealth Banking?
Online.
It's select I think. Can't be wealth since this is my secondary transactional account, so I probably don't meet the wealth minimum.

Yup!
Which is why I started using it.
But now it won't let me link my phone number to my UPI ID and that is something crucial as many folks just send money to numbers nowadays.
I wish they'd fix that (and add more banks for CC linking).
I'd come right back!

I haven't done this too, but still people find me somehow using the number. I haven't bothered to see why it's working. Anyway, isn't this setting app agnostic? can't you do it from gpay or phonepe?

It is, but then I need the other app to keep a log of the transactions. At that point it defeats the purpose of a single app for everything.

Same for some of my CCs. My BoB (or IDFC, don't remember which) doesn't get added because the bank hasn't partnered with Samsung Pay yet, so that's yet another app.

If they'd only fix these couple of issues nothing could beat that app at convenience in India. Apple Pay still doesn't work for Indian cards after all this while lol.
