It's like it's beaming the number, too, especially when I reach towards the flat grocery checkout scanner built into the counter and the loyalty card scans immediately, before the phone even gets horizontal.
The problem is that Samsung Pay is only on high end Samsung Galaxy phones, the S6 through S9 variants.

Google Pay does the same and is available for all Android phones. You have to have an NFC chip to actually pay (likely the same restriction you noticed when you mentioned 'high end Samsung Galaxy phones'), but it's not needed to scan loyalty cards, etc.
