The softcard account is attached to the sim card!
If you use your friends device, make sure you delete your cards.
Do I need to get a NFC sim? Is there even such a thing? Or do I just get a regular pre-paid sim?

It does have to be a special sim.
Note this deal ends tomorrow, and im not sure if it will cause ur friend issues if he wants to use softcard with his phone later.

I am trying to pay with softcard it says that the card is ready to pay, but nothing happens when I put my phone on the device.
Please anyone knows what can be the problem?
I have the same problem with my S4.  Tried at multiple stores/multiple chains (McDonalds, Walgreens, Rite Aid), with and without my rubber case, same problem.

ETA: just saw the comment above about the battery.  I just switched to a NOOT battery, I bet that is my problem.

2 other possible reasons...
Some phones (eg the galaxy s4) have the NFC antenna embedded in the battery. If you are using a 3rd party battery, make sure it supports NFC.
Also I just read, if your phone is rooted softcard wont work (there is a workaround).
Wow!!!!  Thanks a million!!!
Changed my battery and It worked, will get my $40 on Amazon iyh

I dont think there is any minimum
forget about that code you dont need it
if you try the coca-cola promo it also gives you a code but you cant give that to a machine

I finally got my Softcard with Galaxy s5 to work at Walgreens. Seemed I had to just hold it over the pad for an extended period of time. Sometimes it took 15 seconds before it registered the phone. Do other people have such long delays or might there be something wrong with my phone?
