Been using Android Pay a few times a day with fingerprint scanner and no issues until today. Worked in first shop and then the two shops after it asked for my PIN. Anyone else had this?

I thought it was meant to do that after so many transactions per day, at least contactless cards work this way too.
Nothing unusual in it asking for PIN occasionally. |

Your bank can set rules on usage so it may vary from user to user and bank to bank.

I've used android pay several times now albeit only in Subway and Gregg's. I did try in Wilko but for some reason it wouldn't go through, despite my debit card working just fine.
I've never tried making a payment for anything over £30 as it's not clear where accepts payments over £30 using android pay/contactless. Why they cant just have a sign next to the terminal I've no idea. This is what Halifax say regarding having your phone awake or unlocking the phone to make payments. "For in store payments under £30, simply wake your device and hold it near the contactless reader (no need to open the app). You’ll need to unlock your phone for payments over £30. Your device will beep or vibrate, and you'll receive a confirmation on screen to show your payment was made." Source: https://www.halifax.co.uk/helpcentre...=EML_551023395 |

If you have to load Android Pay to select a different card, you could argue that's a hassle too.
Indeed, if you have multiple cards then you might even wish to load the app just to check the right one is set as default, as you can't easily undo a payment everywhere (like a train gateline). |

Re the £30 limit. Some terminals themselves will automatically disable contactless when they see a transaction will be over £30.

Mine has stopped working since the two fails the other day. Android Pay asks for a PIN when scan it, but the machines ask for card entry for security reasons. Very peed off with this. I'll pop into Nationwide in the week and see what's causing this.

I had my Lloyds cards disappear from both my phones this weekend. Had to call up to add it to one phone, and authenticate by text for the other.
Very odd. Anyone else had this? I hadn't even attempted to use either phone to make a payment for a few days. The loyalty cards were still there. |

Will Nationwide's reward scheme work with Android Pay? The scheme is linked to your actual debit card number and Android Pay uses a virtual one?

We need to request to edit?
Either way if you can add Aldi, Altrincham, 29th May 2016, Under £30, Payment Success. Its actually a really good idea and if enough get involved would hopefully build up a nice data sample to guide people in the future. |

I emailed Amex, hoping they might notice if people kept asking for Android Pay, and they replied: Quote:
I am afraid that we are currently not part of AndroidPay however, once we are able to support it, we will gladly notify all our Card members. So, that's helpful!
Please rest assured that we remain focused on offering our Cardmembers innovative payment solutions such as Apple Pay and Samsung Pay (when it launches later this year). |

Tried it a couple of times and it didn't work using my nationwide card. App now deleted and I've gone back to the barclaycard app.

Not too impressed with Android Pay so far, before even before using it.
My ApplePay has stayed working through numerous OS updates. I decided to add Android Pay to my other phone on the weekend, the phone had a minor update of some sort overnight, now AndroidPay wants to reauthenticate my card, including another phone call to the bank... |
