So, as you all probably know by now, the Google Wallet Prepaid Cards will expire come October. I need to know what to spend 10 bucks on lol. Not too many places arround me have NFC terminals except like Circle K or something. So anything useful from the market or accessories online?
The NFC works with those things that say "paypass"

I know that, there just isn't ,much around here lol.
McD and CVS is where i spent. Man that was awesome. By the way be sure to remove the prepaid card after you spend it cause i read somewhere that Google will charge $2 monthly for using the money network prepaid card going forward.

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 think the whole point of the $10 was so people would try it as a credit card on those specific machines. I don't think you can spend it on online stuff or anything app-related

Spend that $10 you got from Google Wallet now before it goes away on October 17. Apparently you can ask for a refund after that date, but you're charged $2 every 30 days you don't buy anything.

Is there anyway to use this to purchase something from Google Play? I've tried adding it in as a prepaid card with the number, but no go. It would be nice to use this to buy a few apps or something.
How do I get my $10? Do I need to add one of my cards first?
Edit- never mind
Anyway to spend it on something fun? The only place I've used it is at 7-11 so I guess I could use the remaining balance on it for a few drops of gas
what? they recently introduced this prepaid feature and already axing it? why not keep it there as an option for those that don't have credit/debit cards..
this is typical of how google works.. if they don't make millions on something, kill it.

They are getting rid of it because you can use your own credit/debit card now with Google Wallet, so no need for them to keep the prepaid option.
I think the point was to have an option where people can just pay onto the 'cash account' at a retail POS like 7-Eleven as some people don't have a CC or debt card.

It wouldn't make any sense, the point of the per paid cards was a bit of an incentive to the quote unquote beta testers. And now that we can use any credit card, there's no point to it.

Well if you don't have a credit/debit card, can't you just get a prepaid one from a store (walmart) and add it to the wallet?

I really don't see the harm in leaving it up. If my aunt wanted to send me money, I had a prepaid card to charge her credit card to...then she won't ask why there's $5.09 used every few days (cigarettes) ha. But I guess I'll just get a real prepaid card and put it in my phone. But that kills the purpose of me using Google wallet. Not every place has a nfc reader thingie

You just go onto Google Wallet and activate a Google Prepaid Card iirc. The $10 can only be used in real life, so no play store credit.

Home Depot
Best buy has a nfc reader but it's not enabled... I asked a manager at a local best buy and she said they have been at the stores for a year already but not to except it to work to mid 2013 and even then it won't work for contact less payments... Apparently it will only work for contact less best buy rewards card scans??
But you guys should download the Mastercard paypas app... Will shoe you everywhere its accepted... Which sadly isn't anything to wtie about..
Basically cvs, McDonalds, some jack in the box, jamba juice, office max, home depot, some small business that got tricked, Microsoft store, 7-11, some macys, sports authority....

GW works at American Eagle stores
btw do any of u guys use GW with 3rd-party batteries like the Q-cell one? not sure if i'm imagining it but it sometimes feels like the signal is much weaker and takes much longer to register on the terminal when using the Q-cell battery
Should also post a link/info to the Mastercard paypas locator app in the play store. Google wallet works everywhere Mastercard paypas works..
So basically that app should be named Google wallet location finder

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.

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.
