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
Cool factor 10/10

Only thing I don't like is that you can't add less than $20 to it when adding funds. :/

I used the $10 credit that is given so far.
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.

Anyone get an offer from Citi when messing around with it?
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...
Used wallet once. Novel idea, but we don't have the NFC market like japan does. You can swipe your phone at vending machines over there.

I have been wondering since Google Wallet uses NFC can i program an NFC tag to act in place of my phone to make NFC purchases? i have used Google Wallet on my nexus 7, so i know that you do not need a data connection, beyond that i am not too knowledgeable on how Google Wallet works. Can this be done? i am sick of waiting for ISIS mobile wallet, i have had the s3 for almost a year and its still only available in 2 cities, way to get screwed out of the main feature i wanted from my phone

The NFC chip is a secure one. I don't know the specifics, But I can promise you it won't work with a standard NFC tag, sorry!

Yep.
Wasn't there a plan by Google to create a physical card for your Wallet account with PayPass? It's probably still in the works, we'll see if it's coming soon!
As we've seen at I/O, they're very invested in Wallet (sending money through Gmail, faster mobile checkout, etc.)
yea, it is such a shame that the only carrier in my area that allows google wallet is sprint and they have terrible coverage here.

Yesterday (Oct 2nd), I hurried myself to the nearest T-Mobile store to pick my up a Note 3. I gave my older Note 2 to my wife.
A little history: I was kinda bummed that ISIS taken away the pre-paid feature, and now only works with American Express (not the pre-paid version) and Chase bank.
I knew Google Wallet recently updated it's app to include most devices, however not the NFC tap-and-pay payment feature, which only works for Nexus and a few other selected devices.
However,
This morning, after downloading the Google Wallet app, it's seems I'm able to use the NFC feature for payments, like I did with ISIS. Also, I'm able to add money to my Wallet, and also send money to others.
Can someone else verify this tap-and-pay feature using NFC through Google Wallet?
Thanks,
It doesn't work for me

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.

It's automatic. All you need to do is get and connect an Amex Serve card to Softcard. Both Serve and Softcard are pretty cool and their apps very well done and refined. I'm known at my Walgreen's as the "please ring it separately" guy.

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 only do it "off peak." They actually think it's pretty cool and quite a few with NFC-equipped phone's got Serve cards to get in on the deal.
I work in a store with tap n pay. I use it now with wallet because software won't install on my rooted phone. Once my note 4 comes in, I might have to do this.
I am coming from the S5 and can confirm that Google Wallet works just fine since they have "changed" the way it works. Given that, I would almost guarantee that it will work with the Note 4 as well.

On my Note3, the wallet also works fine, however tap-to-pay is no where to be found. The app starts normal, i'm able to view my latest transactions, i'm able to pull up my balance, but tap-to-pay feature is no where.
Is this the same for the Note 4?

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!
Hi. Since I'm not rooted anymore, I figured I'd start setting up a mobile payment thingy. Anyone play around with the included ISIS or Softcard? I remember Google Wallet in the past, but I'm sure its much better now. Anyone try them both on the Note 4; and do you have a preference over the other? Thanks.
Edit: Claimed a bunch of $20 Amazon gift cards on Softcard for October. I'm now on a Tmobile Note 4 (rooted) so I can't use Softcard anymore. I guess Google Wallet is the way to go now...
I've been using Wallet since I for this phone and it works really well. I prefer wallet because I can load just what I want to my Google account and not use my debit card.
I've yet to see Softcard used in my area. As it is right now, only my local Walgreens uses gWallet, so neither is really useful for in-store purchases.
So why does the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have an app on my new phone? I haven't opened it to see what is is...

Here it's can be used at Chevron, Subway, Foot Locker, American Eagle, Mcdonalds and countless vending machines. Apparently it's using American Express Serve to add most of your cards, debit cards and back accounts.

I dont think you need a special sim cause its included onto our Note 4's and easily downloaded from the PlayStore.
Here's a great reason to use Softcard. You get a $1 per tap up to $50 a month. It started in July and runs through the end of the year. All said, I'll have pocketed $300. Not counting the first time $50 sign-up bonus. Wallet's a solution looking for a problem and a cluster of an app UX wise.
this is a NO FREAKING BRAINER needed !
Softcard, everytime you make a purchase with American Serve card, you get 1$ cashback !
and now through end of October, next friday, every credit cards you added to Softcard, they give you 20$ Amazon gift card !
i added 3 credit cards, and i already received 60$ in Amazon gift card !
Google Wallet give you sh*t !!

There is a new sim that's required for softcard. It's called a "secure element" sim kinda like chip the Note 2 & other phones had built in to work with NFC. Now the NFC works with your sim's secure element so just stop in a store & ask then to swap your old micro sim for the new one.

I just used google wallets tap to pay yesterday for the first time ,and it work flawlessly at mcdonalds, I used it with my debit card. I think tap to pay is an amazing and convenient way to pay and it goes beyond just being secure its also safer at a POS. I myself work at gas station, i help hundreds of people a day who are constantly on their phones, whether it be in hand texting or making a call. When it comes to making your purchase at a POS you have to (most likely 9/10 people have their phones in hand already) put your phone down ( again most people will put their phone on the counter), pull out your wallet, find the card in our tightly packed wallets people have with all the cards we carry now a days. Swipe your card on the POS, put it back in your wallet, and HOPE you remember to pick up your phone and walk out with all your belongings. Where as with a Tap to Pay device, your phone being in your hand already, you load up your app or if you device already recognizes the POS, It will already have a credit/debit card preselected and just hover it over the POS and bam done. No having to dig out your wallet, leaving your stuff on the counter. Which means less potential to leave your phone or wallet behind, or even someone one just swiping it off the counter when your not paying attention.

What you're describing applies to mobile payments in general. The only difference between Softcard and Google Wallet is the card's you can associate to them. Anywhere you can use one you can use the other.
Speaking of which, Rite Aid and CVS just deactivated their NFC networks to join Walmart, Best Buy, Target and others in MCX which is merchant sponsored and barcode based. With AT&T, VZW, T-Mobile, and a bunch of banks sponsoring Softcard, merchants with three trillion in revenue sponsoring MCX, and Apple and a bunch of banks sponsoring Apple Pay,
Google's pretty much on their own with wallet. If Google can't control what third parties do with Android their ability to dictate to merchants and the financial industry what to do with mobile payments sure ain't going to be any easier.

credit cards only. American Serve card doesn't count. if you added American express, Wells fargo, or Chase, you will get 20$ for each card added AFTER you use that card on phone to pay at least once by Oct 31, 2014 (this friday). I added 2 American express, 1 chase card, I received 60$ amazon card.

I tried using Isis/SoftCard, but it wouldn't take any of my regular cards! I had to use American Express, or sponsored banks. So I called American Express thinking that their prepaid card was one that charges your actual card when a payment goes through. No. You have to load the card, then use the card on SoftCard. For me, this is a waste of time. So then I used Goggle Wallet which accepted all my cards in a hurry, and I've been using it ever since! And I mean, c'mon, what Google product doesn't out perform some off-brand?

I do not have any cards that support this app natively. So for me, it's not worth the hassle of signing up for a new card with American Express, loading the card, then using it with SoftCard every time I wish to make a purchase.
You don't have to specifically load the Amex Serve card to use it. Once you sign up for it you link a debit card to it. When you use the phone to tap and pay, the funds get transferred from your debit card to the Serve card and then to the retailer. So the retailer never sees your debit card, just the Amex Serve card number. It's very easy to use, and like the person above said you get $1 back per purchase through the end of the year. I have also made over $300 back through the program. Been using it since April with the Galaxy S5 and now on my Note 4.
