G+_Josh Frye Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Ron Richards Jason Howell I actually have one of these cards and was planing to use it when I went to see my god kid's later this year. Simply because I could use it at gas stations that might have a skimmer attached to them. If someone got my card information they would not be able to pull out cash from my bank account or rack up charges. http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/03/28/google-is-preparing-to-drop-support-for-the-physical-wallet-card-on-june-30th/ http://www.androidpolice.com/2016/03/28/google-is-preparing-to-drop-support-for-the-physical-wallet-card-on-june-30th/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Alan M Carlino Jr Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Hoping for wider adoption of chip and pin cards, or Android Pay. Then again if you're worried about skimmers, probably could get a refillable Visa card or something like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_L I Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Add this to the pile of Google Abandonware that I found essential. Reminds me a bit of when they killed Reader. And my fear is that Google Voice is next. The reason I liked is card is that it gave me a bit more certainty when I had to swipe the card in strange places. I'd load up the card with only the amount I needed just before I use it, get the confirmation notification, and go about my day not worried about any kind of scams. I've read somewhere else that PayPal has a debit MasterCard that works similarly, I'll have to look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_M III Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 This has been the hands down best way to give my daughter her weekly stiping while at college. She and I use it all the time. Great for eating out and all my Web purchases. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Nick Gailfus Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I use the Wallet card for my monthly fun/coffee money. After I get paid I load it up. Guess I'll go back to cash in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Nick Gailfus Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Lionel D I just got an email from Google about Wallet Card discontinuing. They suggested some AMEX card and some other debit card service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_L I Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Nick Gailfus yeah unfortunately the Amex one costs $5 / month - I didn't bother to look up the Simple card because it seems it requires a regular direct deposit. Even Paypal's Prepaid MasterCard charges $5 / month. It seems they try to offer you cash back rewards in return for the $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_L I Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Nick Gailfus I may have spoken too soon about Simple. Seems promising: https://www.simple.com/faq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
