Google Wallet

I swear it says to unlock the phone in the directions.

NFC baby. Tapping works.
I don't like how you have to still hit Credit or Debit.
I'm also still not convinced this is, will be, or should be the future of paying for stuff.
And as I continue to say, I don't want Google knowing everything I purchase which is why I won't be using this often.
However it was really really really nice the other day when I ran up to Walgreen's and realized I forgot my wallet at home.

Instructions do say to unlock the device but it's not necessary to open the app.

That's what I said. Unlock the phone, then enter your PIN when the app opens. It comes up on its own.

Apparently Lowes is getting ready to set up so we can use Google Wallet.

There are quite a few places in my area that accept Google Wallet. There is even a tool on Google Wallet's FAQ that sends you to MasterCard's site. On the site, you enter your location and it shows places in your area that support Google Wallet.

I cannot find a FAQ area within my Google Wallet....where is that located because that is a nice feature you have!

I found it using my browser. I searched for something like Google Wallet supported stores.

Ok I was in Google Wallet looking. I went on my computer web browser and searched and found this link. I believe this is what you used....and I'm amazed the stores around me that actually do work!

Contactless Locations MasterCard Contactless Locator MasterCard

Yes, that is what I used. It is not 100% accurate, but it is close.

And, I just found an app in the Play Store called "MasterCard PayPass Locator", it doesn't look like it's been updated since 2012, so not recently updated. I just installed it, and it seems to find the same ones I found on the computer.

I imagine it is pulling the same information from the website. I really hope that Google really works to get wallet working and at least be as ubiquitous as I think it will be.
