Garmin Pay - Known retailers

Former Member over 7 years ago

Has anyone see a list of retailers known to accept Garmin Pay?

I just upgraded to a 5x+ from a 5x and one of the features I was most excited about was Garmin Pay. During a run I stopped into a 7-11 (where I have used NFC payments in the past on my phone) and was surprised that the terminal reported “App not supported”

I remember seeing Starbucks in some marketing material, so I tested it and it worked great. Has the community created a list of known working payment terminals/retailers?

Failed:
1. Local 7-11
2. Home Depot

Worked:
1. Starbucks

Here in Denmark, I have 100% success: I tried it once so far, in a grocery store, and it worked.

Big update for the United States, 7-11 stores now accept Garmin Pay, just tried it last night after I noticed they started accepting Samsung Pay, it worked. Talked to the manager who was ringing me up and he said they updated the payment terminals nationwide over the past month.

I suppose people already commented about this but it should work with all terminals that accepts contactless payment.
Of course your bank have to support it for your card too and that's my problem at the moment.

Not the case sir. Although I have noticed that every terminal I have tried here in Southern California that also accepts a wide variety of contactless payments like Samsung pay, Chase pay in addition to the standard Apple Pay and Android Pay then my Garmin pay almost always works...

On other terminals we even get an error message that says "app unsupported" where android pay works perfectly. If you read through this thread you would get more insight. It has nothing to do with the bank supporting it, it has to do with the terminal accepting it. We are behind the times here.
