Google Wallet

Is anyone using Google Wallet? Pros/Cons? Does it work if your phone is in a plastic shell case?

I have been using GW for about a week now. So far I haven't had any issues at all with it. I'm totally dedicated to it. Have all of my rewards cards put in there, and the rewards card pops up as I enter the store that I am shopping in. I've spent about 200 dollars using it at select stores like Walgreens when I go shopping and I haven't had ANY issues with it at all. I would highly recommend it.

@eddiekeyton...thanks for the information. Nice to know about how the rewards cards work. Do you have your phone in a plastic case of any kind, or not?

Nope mine is completely naked. I dislike cases. They take away from the beautify of the phone. In my opinion at least. I'll feel that way until i drop it and the screen smashes LOL. @kmf1

@eddiekeyton...thanks. I've always wanted the extra protection, but also something more to grip onto when using the phone. I use the Tylt View wireless charger, which works very well with my turbo in its plastic shell holster case, so I hope that the same would be true when using Google Wallet. I'll have to give it a try soon.

I haven't used Google wallet, but I've used android beam with a case on. Both use nfc technology from what I understand, so it should work fine with a case on.

I just put $20 in my wallet. Haven't used it yet. It absolutely should work in even the biggest and baddest cases. Unless, of course, it's made out of lead.

I have to provide proof of who I am so I can activate it. Haven't gotten around to it yet.

I don't recall having to do that?
What kind of proof do you need to submit??

The quickest way is to link your bank account to it. That's what I did and it was immediate. Otherwise it will take a few days for them to confirm your identity.

I did not do that either. *scratches head
I basically just logged in. Went to use it one day and it said "you got no money". That night I added $20 to it. Came up with my Google Play Credit Card info: added $20. Done.

Government issued ID and proof of address. It asks for it right in the app, otherwise I'd be even more skeptical of giving it to them. That's kinda why I held off though, too.

I forget what I was initially trying to setup when they first requested it, but I just launched the app after this thread started and it was still asking for the info to verify me.
