Samsung Pay+

I have just seen the warning about using Paypal and losing Section 75 rights. I have just signed up to Samsung Pay+ and linked it to my Sainsbury's Mastercard credit card. Does the same apply, or am I covered under Section 75?

    Can't speak for Samsung Pay specifically, but see this:
    https://www.which.co.uk/news/2020/03/why-apple-pay-and-google-pay-are-the-safest-ways-to-spend/

    TL;DR (from that page)
    Does Section 75 protection apply to Apple and Google Pay?
    Yes, provided the card in your virtual wallet is a credit card. That means that if you pay for goods between £100 and £30,000, and they’re faulty, or you don’t receive them, you can claim the cost back from the card company.

    Chargeback also covers mobile payments if the payment is less than £100, or a debit card is used.

    Where Apple and Google Pay aren’t covered is when you’ve used an intermediary card, such as Curve, to make your payment.

  • The OP's question relates to Samsung Pay+.

    AFAIK this is a product "powered by" Curve and operates along similar lines to Curve's own branded system.  As such s.75 will not apply (though I believe they may offer some alternative protection).

    it is powered by curve and thus you will be not be paying by the ctedit card direct but via curve
