South Africans to win big with Samsung Pay and Mastercard

Black Friday shoppers will be amongst the first to reap the rewards

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa –  21 November, 2018 – Samsung Pay has changed the way people from across the country pay for their shopping. This safe and simple mobile payment system instantly gives a Samsung compatible device the functionality of a bank or loyalty card, which can be used anywhere.

Consumers with a Mastercard issued from participating banks – Standard Bank and Absa Bank – can also make use of this new service, and by doing so, can stand the chance to win amazing prizes just by shopping.

With both Black Friday and festive season shopping on the minds of the nation, there is no better time to use your Mastercard payment card through the free Samsung Pay app. Samsung and Mastercard are seizing the summer to reward their users with the chance to win a R25 000 Samsung store voucher.

This summer promotion will also be amplified at Mastercard Samsung Pay kiosks at participating malls around the country, where consumers can stand the chance to win one of eight Samsung mobile devices, a R1 000 Mastercard gift card each day and other spot prizes.

“Our collaboration with Mastercard this summer and the host of prizes on offer will make this a bumper Black Friday and the lead up to the festive season, even more festive,” says Cambridge Mokanyane, Chief Marketing Officer at Samsung South Africa.

To make life even better, when you pay with your Mastercard using Samsung Pay seven times, you can get two free 3D Ster-Kinekor movie tickets during the promotion period.

Download the free Samsung Pay app from the Google Play Store, link your Mastercard payment card and start tapping. Paying is as easy as swiping up from the bottom of your screen, verifying the payment through PIN, fingerprint, iris scan or intelligent scan and then tapping on any payment terminal.

Samsung Pay is now available on the following devices: Galaxy Note 9, Note 8, S9/S9+, S8/S8+, S7/S7 edge, A8 (2018), A7 (2017) and A5 (2017).
