They did it for Apple Pay, they did it for Samsung Pay, now it's Android Pay's turn! Just found it in my AMEX app. If you can't find it/don't want to install the app, the link I've provided has an enrol button.

If you are getting this message:
"Unfortunately this campaign is by invitation only. Please visit http://www.amexconnect.com.au for other fabulous offers"
Then you are attempting to add a bank-issued AMEX and thus cannot take advantage of this deal (thanks to various commenters below but Turd in particular for his detailed reasoning) for noting this. It has to be an AMEX-issued card.

Also if your Android phone is rooted, you can't use Android Pay. Might be able to get around it if you search for solutions?

Copied and pasted:

  • Save the offer to your eligible Card and tap to pay with Android Pay spending $20 or more on that Card, in one or more transactions, in store by 20/10/16 to receive one $10 credit. Limited to the first 10,000 Cards to save the offer.
  • Only American Express issued Cards are eligible for this offer.

    You can use Android Pay for some in-App payments. This also works with phones that do not have NFC.

    Participating merchant apps:

    • kerfuffle on 21/09/2016 - 08:55

      It's pretty nifty! You can go to Woolies and Coles and get your Woolworths Rewards/FlyBuys points and pay for it without having to take your wallet out thanks to Android Pay!

      Now if only Westpac would hurry up with their negotiations with Google so I can use my Debit MasterCard and Visa on Android Pay as well …

        So is it like paypass but instead of your card, you tap your phone on the scanner thing?

          When you pay, yeah. To claim the points you scan a barcode on your screen.

        • Twirtle2 on 21/09/2016 - 09:42

          @kerfuffle: I can never get the self-checkout scanners to scan the barcode on my phone :(

          +2

          @Twirtle2: I think it depends on the type of scanner. I can never get it to work in Town Hall Woolies, however it works in my local Woolies. As for Coles, they have a small horizontal scanner next to the EFTPOS terminal where you can scan the barcode on your phone

          @kerfuffle:

          I see. Thanks. Same as when I use my Coles MasterCard in that case. Turn my card and scan to get Flybuys then tap it to pay.

          +1

          At Coles, use the Flybuys scanner which is separate to the grocery scanner.

          Woolies grocery scanners work fine though.

          @Twirtle2: If you have one of Samsung flagship Galaxy phones(S4 onwards/Note I guess) they have a special sensor which doubles as a barcode transmitter. I have a Galaxy S5 and so far it had worked with every barcode reader I've ever tried.

        • kerfuffle on 21/09/2016 - 13:58

          @zuccs: Not at Town Hall Woolies. I think it's because they have the older scanners

        • Twirtle2 on 21/09/2016 - 14:06

          @FirstWizard: I've got a Galaxy s6 Edge so in theory it should work right? I've only tried at Gordon Woolies and Chatswood Coles so far (didn't realize they had a separate scanner though)

        • FirstWizard on 22/09/2016 - 10:32
          +1

          @Twirtle2: The only catch is, the special feature only works when you use the Beep'ngo app from Mobeam.

          That's the only app capable of using the beaming hardware.

        • SomeGuyOnOzB on 23/09/2016 - 10:46

          @Twirtle2: I've got a Samsung Note 3. Beep n' Go works fine for Flybuys and other cards. There's a special IR LED on our phones, that can mimic the signal a laser would see, when flashing across a bar code.

          (I think the Galaxy s6 Edge has the IR laser)

    Anyone have a list of stores that have android pay in store? I've check WW and Coles and they both "claim" to have it on the Android pay site but they dont have the machines in store (i.e. they dont have the android pay logo on their machines)

    -edit-
    seems I was wrong, WW wasn't on the list… mistook the green from 7eleven… still, haven't seen them in Coles.

    -edit2-

    • kerfuffle on 21/09/2016 - 09:19

      Any store that accepts ExpressPay will also take Android Pay. For example, both DJs and Myer take Android Pay, however only Myer have the Android Pay logo on their terminals (probably because theirs are provided by ANZ who are an active participant in Android Pay whereas DJs terminals are provided by Commbank who aren't even on the coming soon section of Android Pay)

      IKEA don't take AMEX

      • ProjectZero on 21/09/2016 - 09:32

        Would the payment be treated as Android pay payment or AMEX payment? If the former, I dont think IKEA will turn the payment down… of course, I only saw the android pay logo, not sure if they actually take them yet.

        • kerfuffle on 21/09/2016 - 09:38

          It would be taken as an AMEX payment i.e. the card type you used would be AMEX

It was my first try to use Android Pay so I've spent ages checking the settings and help and don't seem to have anything wrong, thinking it might be Coles…

    • SomeGuyOnOzB on 23/09/2016 - 10:21

      I tried 4 times before giving up.

      HOWEVER, I checked my settings once I was out of the store, and I have more than one NFC banking app.
      Android Pay was not the default.
      The default one had given me notifications that I need to sign in.

      So … I've changed the default and will try again … sometime or other.

      • bluesky on 23/09/2016 - 12:30

        I faced the same problem yesterday, so shared it here … thinking it could affect quite a few people depending on apps you have installed in the past. Fortunately, I was the only customer in the line, the checkout girl was patient and just as curious - so I could try until I got it.

      • SomeGuyOnOzB on 26/09/2016 - 06:27

        Confirming it worked at both a Coles and a Coles Express once I had Android Pay set to default.

      • shuffle1 on 28/09/2016 - 00:58

        Samsung Pay always insists it is made the default payment app if you want to use it at all. So with Android Pay, I figured that might be the case with it too especially when Android Pay works without it being in the foreground. Looks like that is the case then!

        Worked at woolies for me. I think it should do fingerprint authentication before enabling payment, but it doesn't, rather, it works as long as the phone is unlocked.

    • Turd on 21/09/2016 - 09:39

      Yes, normal. It is the android system testing the card to see if it doesnt get rejected.

    Im having a trouble adding my card to Android Pay. It says 'Your card couldn't be added Please contact your bank for more info. You can also try adding a different card.' But Google already debited $2 from my card (in fact I tried five times so 5x$2=$10)
    Anyone having a same problem?

    • kerfuffle on 21/09/2016 - 09:51

      Gotta ask, but 1. Is it an AMEX 2. If not, is it a card from one of the banks that support Android Pay?

      You can try adding it in your Google Wallet and it should show up in Android Pay as ready to add? Good luck

      • Could Be Better on 21/09/2016 - 09:55

        Yes it is an AMEX (not bank issued). Ill try adding it to my google wallet

          It says it's not available, but you can still add your cards to it under Payment Methods. I've got my Visa and AMEX loaded in my Google Wallet so when I buy stuff online I don't need to fill out all my card details as Google Wallet already knows them, just my CCV
