Samsung today announced that more organizations will support Samsung Wallet, the company’s Passbook competitor.
The new companies that have voiced support for Samsung Wallet include American Express, United Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, Malaysia Airlines, Amtrak, Valpak, eGifter, Gyft, Yowza, SpotOn, Agoda, HRS, Opodo and Thrillcall. Samsung Wallet lets users store membership cards, boarding passes, tickets, and other content/associations. The app relies on bar codes rather than NFC when it comes time to make a purchase or take advantage of membership benefits.
The app is compatible with the Galaxy S3, S4, Note I, Note II, and Note 3, and can be downloaded from the Google Play Store.
In addition to competing with Apple’s Passbook, Samsung Wallet also competes with Google Wallet and Isis.
