Just wondering, how many people have/use google wallet. I just don't know what the big fuss is about. I have pay pass on my debit card and i hardly use it.
for those who use google wallet do you gotta have the app running or is it like NFC?

It opens the app for your PIN when you set the phone on the terminal, you enter the PIN and place it back down, and it makes the sale. It initializes with NFC to know to accept the payment.
Slightly off topic, but did anyone receive a $10 credit after activating a Google Prepaid card on Google Wallet?
Imagine a credit/debit/giftcard that doesn't physically exist in your wallet but you can use it at certain stores to pay for things. That is what the big deal is.

Every Google Wallet user gets a $10 credit the first time it gets activated. Sprint users get a special offer of another $40 3 weeks after they activate.
Its the cooler way of paying . Aka the future.
Watch a video on it but
U won't know until u own it

Unless they open up more cards where I can link my debit, I don't plan on using it much. Linking all the crappy loyalty cards would be a real plus, I hate the space they take up.

I received an offer for a $3,000 Citi MasterCard, 0% APR for first 12 months, 17% afterwards, no annual fees.
I accepted it since we just purchased a house and it's nice to have it on hand for any oh no moments, I added it to GWallet for sh!ts n giggles. got a letter in the mail thanking me for using GWallet...

I haven't add that amount of money to my account but no.
The only time I was asked for my SSN was when I called money network to transfer balance from my previous phone to a new one, and it was only to prove my identity.
One question; what do you need $200 in your google wallet account? Doesn't it have a really low limit transaction limit? I know blinks has a $20 transaction limit.
I don't know the answer to your question. But how did you get the wallet working on the Galaxy Nexus? Is your phone a GSM version?
I'd be careful adding that amount. Supposedly the gift cards have been notorious for disappearing.
I've had a $10 free gift card from Google... and then it was gone. Weird thing was it allowed me to sign up again. I've heard several people who flashed another rom were able to get another $10.
Be careful.

Everyone gets asked for their SSN the 3rd or 4th time they add funds/cross the 100 dollar mark. It's perfectly normal.

Check the terms and conditions for Google Wallet/Money Network. It states they do additional verification (SSN, etc) after the 3rd or 4th reload or $200 dollars total (something along these lines).

The Google Wallet accounts are tied to the device themselves which is why when installed on a new device, people's balances from their previous Google Wallet account does not show up. A simple call to Money Network clears all that up very easily, and you still get to keep the free $10 on the new device in addition to the previous balance. Money Network is a very reputable company as they do provide payroll solutions for many companies. His money isn't going anywhere.
I wish more developers would put their apps on Amazon.......don't want to put my credit card on the market, Amazon you can you gift card.... I wanted to get the paid Rom manager. Why does Google not have gift cards? I know they could sell more apps. Amazon has many of the same apps as the market.......Can I have everyone's thoughts on this....Thanks!!!

Buy a prepaid debit card.
Gift cards for the Android Market would be cool. Everyone else has them.
I still like the Android Market better than Amazon.
Google Wallet has prepaid Google Cards but I can't figure out how to use other then NFC.
That'd be one option. Of like stated above, instead of buying a "Google Giftcard" just purchase a "Prepaid Visa" that are available in every drug store and super market.
Market Cards would run the risk of being exploited and generated... Unless Google treated them as a PREPAID VISA.

You mean the pre paid visa would be treated just as if you entered your own personal Visa? There is a fee to buy them, but small price to pay for not risking your own card online Thanks for the suggestion.

That can't be right. When you reset Google Wallet, the amount disappears unless you sign back up again. The credit is stored in an account.
That said, I don't see a way to get Money Market to cough up your funds other than by using Google Wallet.

I had network issues restoring mine yesterday and it gave me a phone number. I had no reason to save it since it worked fine when I had connection, but if you start to restore the card then turn on airplane mode, it should pop out the same phone number
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
If the money you have left is money that you added to the google prepaid card, then:
Call money market, they will ask you for the prepaid card number, which I don't think you saved. But you can also give them the Order # from when you added funds funds (you can find it in the receipt that they emailed you).
I'm pretty sure they can refund it to you somehow.
Note: To identify yourself,they will ask you from your name to how many times a day you take a crap.
I know all this because this is how I transferred previous balance from a returned phone to the new one.
Good luck.
It makes sense you can't keep it. That 10 wasn't just for free, it was to use Google wallet, since you have a phone that cannot use Google wallet now, the terms of the promotion no longer applies to you and you don't get to keep the money. Seems fairly straight forward. Not trying to be an ass btw

I tried when I log into my Google wallet account on the computer the Google prepaid card is not there.
Well anyway I called Google wallet and they transferred me to money market I had to give them first 4 and last 4 digits of the card I used to load the prepaid than had to go thru identity check they need your full name, address and SSN#. They will send me a check in main with deducted 5$ fee for making the check I guess. The only thing it takes 45 to 65 days for it to come in mail. Now I can rest easy.

Unless something's changed, not out of the box. It's carrier blocked. When I had a Note 2 you had to do a bunch of s/w modifications to the Wallet app and change your build.prop to make it work. The Note 3 had a NFC chip with a secure token that didn't work with Wallet at all. Check the SGS5 forum as their experiences will probably be the same as ours assuming the NFC chip is the same. I've moved to Softcard and have been getting $50 a month back from Amex Serve since July, the offer's good until the end of the year.
Google Wallet's pretty much dead because the financial players won't share marketing data with them. A long discussion here...

I don't think they're blocking it anymore from AT&T. I can confirm my Note 3 absolutely did not work because of whatever secure element issue it had. But my AT&T branded LG G3 allows me to download and use Google Wallet. Although as much as I don't really care for the service, Softcard (ISIS) is giving away the farm on deals to get people to use their payment system.

You get $1.00 off per transaction. Thee $2.00 items rung up separately end up being $3.00. Three $2.00 items rung together ends up being $5.00. $50.00 a month is almost two transactions a day which is a lot. Seperating stuff means I don't leave anything on the table.

I was on DN3 on the Note 2 and tap n pay worked. Didn't have a note 3. On the Note 4 however I can say that on stock, wallet works. It's funny, isis/softcard is built in and pre loaded, so have to get wallet from the play store. But there is a slip of paper in the box advertising wallet. So they are both accessible and fully working on the N4.
After installing wallet you have to go into the NFC settings and change your authorized tap to pay app to wallet.

This is in INCREDIBLE! When I was with t-mobile (last year) I returned my Note3 to purchase a Nexus5, only because of Google Wallet tap-to-pay feature. I know, it sounds stupid, and hard headed. Now, since i'm with at&t, and got over my stupidity, I sold my nexus5 on swappa, purchased a Note3 on their Next plan (12 months), to enjoy my Note3 again.
Now, with the good news of Google Wallet tap-to-pay feature being available on the Note4, this is totally AWESOME!
