On the other hand, UR and MR seem way more flexible than the Altitude's point system, so that needs to be weighed as well.
For me I actually eat out quite a bit and as a lot of restaurants still take cards away despite supporting the chip (and presumably NFC, but good luck with that), the 3x for mobile wallet use isn't all that valuable.
I actually paid many times at restaurants with Samsung Pay, people were really surprised that it was possible.
