The support for Citibank and American Express will be added to the list soon.
Registration can be done at the source link. You could face some error upon submitting details, so keep trying until the process completes. Some reports also say Samsung Pay website sis showing some problems with Chrome browsers. So one should avoid registering to the early access program through Chrome Web browser.
