Google Wallet Prepaid card is now $15 ?

I just installed AOKP M4 and it seems after installing Wallet and going through the Prepaid Card activation, I landed up with $15 Prepaid Credit instead of the usual $10 I'm used to seeing...
Anyone else see this?

I had only 69 cents but, was checking my wallet after all the latest provision problems and being without my wallet for days I check it periodically now.. All the sudden I had $5.69 instead of 69 cents ..Came here to check whats going on and see a comment here so I guess I do have some extra money now going to 7'11 for cigars now on Google for my medical marij........

checking my wallet to see if true
edit: nop! still same 10$

My balance is now showing $15 as well.
Perhaps they're attempting to apologize for the weeks that it wasn't working...?

15 here too.

yep i just got a $5 boost as well (t-mobile)

Nope, showing $2.67 for me.
Let me try removing the card...and re-adding it.
Edit: Same price. :/ Lucky you!

mine was showing 10 but after I clicked on the card it updated to 15 bucks.

stock 4.0.2 T-Mobile and still $10.

Mine went from 18 something to 23 something.

For those of you with the extra 5, does it show anything in your transaction history?

I just checked mine and I got a $5 boost as well, went from $40 to $45 but nothing in the transaction history. I'll take it

Google gave me five dollars too. That was nice of them. I was quite happy with it just working again.

Guys. Don't you ever check your email?
Hello,
As you may have experienced over the last few weeks, we temporarily disabled the feature to add the Google Prepaid Card back to your wallet if you previously removed the card or reset your wallet. We temporarily disabled this feature to ensure the security of our Wallet customers. We recognize this may have been an inconvenience for you, and we did not make this decision lightly.
We are happy to announce that you can now add the Google Prepaid Card back to your wallet with the newest version of Google Wallet, and any funds that you previously had on the card should be restored, unless you contacted Money Network and asked for a refund of those funds. To add the Google Prepaid Card back, you will first need to update your Google Wallet application to the most recent version.
To compensate you for any inconvenience this may have caused, we have credited an additional $5 (five US dollars) to your Google Prepaid Card. If you have further questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at 855-492-5538.
Thank you for your continued support of Google Wallet, and we look forward to launching many new and exciting features for you to enjoy in the coming months.
Sincerely,
The Google Wallet Team

Question about Google Unlocked Galaxy Nexus & Google Wallet

Hey everyone I was just wondering if anyone else have had this issue with Google Wallet.
I log into Google Wallet, go to the Google Prepaid Card then sometimes I get the message balance unavailable but most of the time I get my correct balance amount.
I called Google Support and he tried to tell me that my Galaxy Nexus on straight talk is not supported for Wallet. And I told him, that's bs. I told him that I have the unlocked Google branded galaxy nexus from the play store and that it works on over 200 GSM providers ... blah blah blah..basically didn't help me out.
So have anyone else had this issue before where your GWallet balance is unavailable? Like I said its not a major issue.

Anybody??

Its because you rooted it. It will still work I tried mine today after I got my 10$ from Google. It will say unsupported but still works.

No its not cause I'm rooted. I unrooted and ran into the same issue. Strange thing is that on wifi I can see my balance fine. When on HSPA+ I can log into my GWallet but balance says "unavailable"
Nevertheless I called Google Support and they said everything is fine. They said that I get that message because my data connection is not good and GWallet is really strict on security. I asked him if I get this message would it allow me to make a purchase or not. And he I would still be able to make a purchase because to make a purchase doesn't require a data connection. All the communication is done via the nfc between the two accounts.
I'll give a try later and see if he was correct

Their end.
We're discussing it elsewhere as well.
Servers pooped out last night.

Experiencing the same thing for the first time this morning.
Stock GSM Galaxy Nexus, not rooted
Glad to hear it's on their end

So I went to try out NFC today... ($10 on sprint gnex)

Okay long story short, I had a terrible allergy attack and saw my doctor today. He prescribed 2 different medicines so i went to walgreens where they have the NFC terminals. The pharmacist told me they had 1 in stock and the other was at another walgreens nearby and I had to pick it up there. Each costed $10
Went to pay for the first one and... roaming!(without data) so I paid with cash and went to the other store to try it out with the other medicine... and no signal inside but full 3g outside!. So I paid with cash again and left.
So I am still stuck with those $10 on my gnex ugh!
talk about a crappy day at least my allergy symptoms have slowed :fingers-crossed:

You know Google Wallet doesn't need a data connection to pay?
It won't give a proper statement in your "Transactions" page, but it still works.
Also get better man.

I don't think Walgreen's has activated the NFC on their terminals yet.
I could be wrong.

damnit! learn something new every day I guess.
To the guy not getting his $10, is your phone new (from the store) or used? When I got my refurb Nexus it didnt show the $10 but when it gave me problems I had it swapped for a BNIB and the $10 were there. The money is not per google account, its per participating device.

I just figured that out. My original Nexus I got in a trade didn't give me the $10 on wallet. The replacement one that I have now did

No I got it in a trade from another XDA member so I guess that explains it :-\

What happened to my $10 - Google Wallet?

When I first got my Evo back in June 2012, I signed up for GWallet just to see what it was and I was given $10 in my account.
I never logged back into it again until recently (on my Galaxy S3), I was trying to show someone that Google gave me $10 just for signing up.. and blah... it wasn't there.
I never spent it on anything. Did they just take it back?

Yea the $10 expired a short time ago.

There was an email from Google explaining this recently. They are getting rid of the Google card, and a credit can be requested.

I disregard any "official" e-mails lol. But thank you for the info.
Any idea who I can contact to get it back?
I also got $25 credit from my Nexus 7. I wonder if that's gone too. =[ That's 35 free bucks. haha.

Has anyone noticed that when re-loading their Google Wallet after a flash, the Google Pre-paid card is completely missing? If I restore a TB of it, I get it back, but then it won't work properly at retailers
According to the emails, and the in-app warnings, I still have time to spend it, but I can't figure out how!

The money doesn't transfer through devices, the $10 you got for the LTEvo sticks with that device, same for the SIII and N7, had all 3 spent all the money from all.

[Q] How do I use google wallet in Canada?

I am able to install it but it says I'm not in the US. I've tried finding details on hw to get it working but coudn't. If someone can point me to another thread or somethin that would be great.

You can't

Thanks for the reply I've had it working on my Galaxy Nexus a couple of years ago and haven't tried since. It worked then. I'm gonna keep trying anyway. I managed to get in to the point where I can create a pin and add a card so I'll see if the prepaid Vanilla Visa and Shopper's still work. I refuse to sign up for Rogers' Suretap scam.

Im using the suretap wallet and it works well, exactly what google wallet does without haking or anything.... I use it all the time you should a least give it a try so see how well it works...

I looked into that scam already. 2$ everytime you want to reload. 2.50$ /month service fee and they charge you 10$ if you want to cancel. TD Bank is coming out with something soon so hopefully it's better. Thanks for the help tho.

I think those fees are normal, just like a real prepaid credit cards that you can buy at any stores...

Maybe they are Ive never used prepaid cards before, but paying with my phone isn't worth paying the fees. I can just as easily tap my debit card instead.
