Google Pay

When you use Google Pay, your default payment method is automatically charged. You can easily set or change your default method to your Discover card to make sure you're getting the most from your card's rewards.

To set your default:

The first payment method you add to Google Pay becomes your default for in-store purchases.

To change your default:

1. Open the Google Pay app.
2. On the lower right, tap "Cards."
3. Tap the card you want to make your default card.
4. Tap "Set as Default."

To pay with your smartphone in stores:

1. Wake up and unlock your device. No need to open the app.
2. Hold the back of your phone close to the payment terminal for a few seconds.
3. Your payment is successful when you see a blue check mark.

Then, simply follow the payment terminal's instructions—the same as you would if you insert your card.

Or to pay with Android Wear in stores:

1. Open Google Pay app on your watch.
2. Hold your watch over the payment terminal until you hear a sound or feel a vibration.
3. Choose "credit" if asked, regardless of card type and follow the instructions on the payment terminal.

Just look for the Google Pay logo, or older Google Wallet or Android Pay logos when you shop online using any browser, or in apps like Uber and Airbnb.

At checkout, just tap the Google Pay purchase button. You might be asked to pick a payment method and enter your shipping address before confirming your order.

You will need an NFC-enabled Android phone running Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher. To see the version of Android you're running, open your phone's "Setting" app, then tap "About Device."

If you see one of the following errors, your phone might not be supported:

• "Google Pay can't be used."
• "Google Pay is unable to verify your device."
• "You can no longer use Google Pay on this phone."

If you have a supported device and are experiencing issues, many of them can be fixed by resetting your phone to factory settings.
