On 10/1 I made a transaction where I opened Chase Pay, chose the Freedom card, and clicked the Samsung Pay option. The transaction processed normally, but today it posted as 1x points only. I am sure others will try, but for me this did not work to trigger the 5x bonus category.
And two data points for issues that already seem settled in prior posts: Costco Gas purchase on 9/30 did yield 5x, and a Costco Gas purchase on 10/1 got 1x.

Man, this Chase/Samsung Pay thing is going to be confusing for at least a few days to see how to trigger the 5%.
I can also confirm that if you don't open Chase Pay first (which appears to have not worked for at least one person), but go straight to Samsung Pay, the Chase Pay logo is now already co-listed with the Chase cards. However, this does seem to indicate that you have already activated Chase Pay for your card portfolio.
Further, I got the targeted use Chase Pay with Samsung Pay (via the longer Chase Pay > Pay > Samsung Pay) for $25 promotion which seems to require the longer method so I will need to use that for my own efforts over the next two weeks.
A reddit person has said the longer method did work for a NFC at a vending machine transaction in the past day to trigger the 4x bonus.

Chase Pay didnt go through at my Wal Mart
I went to WalMart on 10/1 and tried to by their VGC with Chase Pay. I have an iPhone and I had my chase pay loaded up but they said the QR code wasn't going through. They later informed me that the Chase Pay option "wasn't up and running yet".
Am I doing something wrong here?

Hmm, I guess I will try just going through Samsung Pay next time to test it out. It does show the Chase Pay icon when i open it in Samsung Pay.

I just did my first digital wallet transaction for the quarter via the long method (Chase Pay to Pay to Samsung Pay to PIN to NFC). The instant notification on the completed transaction amount was from Samsung Pay, but when I open the Chase Pay app, it shows the transaction as Pending - Chase Pay. That has to be good news so far. The website and regular Chase Pay app has no detail of that sort (just the usual pending with no click detail). If it doesn't post as 5x, I will definitely seek retro credit for these types of transactions.
