Google disabling use of pre-paid cards on google wallet

[dolpns13]

so even if you have the free 10 bucks they are taking that away?

That has class action law suit written all over it

Hmm, other option is try to get the apk else where instead of Google play, that might bypass that screen!

I just did a search for Google wallet in the app market and it isn't there anymore. I pulled up all apps from Google and it isn't on that list either.

Nope, found it using my phone's browser but when I tried to download it, it said that it's not available on my carrier.

its back!

After weeks and weeks of waiting and error messages my prepaid card came back online. Said unavailable until I hit try again and after a long wait it is back up and working.

Thanks for this. This worked.

HOWEVER!!! Something weird happened. I went to Foot Locker and bought some new laces. I went to pay with my Nexus without any problem. When I looked at my receipt however, the last 4 on the receipt didn't match with the last four of the numbers on my Google Wallet. My account balance went down, so I'm not sure whats going on. The transaction still says "Sent".

I think I'm just going to wait to start a wallet until Google gets it's act together. And also allows pre-paid cards again. There is no way I'm putting my credit card in that wallet.

How does Google wallet work? I downloaded the app but haven't opened it yet.

Like would I sync my amex or chase credit card to it. When I go to pay it will just deduct from that credit card?

I got a message saying it won't work because I'm not running an official version of the OS. It's not worth leaving the BAMF rom that I'm using just for this app.

Yes the app has potential but still needs work to make it a viable option. I used it briefly (at the one place that offered it locally) that's a problem too not many places have implemented this technology yet. I thought it was cool initially but the novelty soon wore off. If I could use my own credit card (not just to add funds to Google's pre-paid card on the app) and when more stores have this type of technology I would start using it again. Also if you're rooted the app will recognize that and deem your device not compatible, at some point someone will develop a work around but Google has been putting together safeguards for stock devices and suggest not using this app if rooted. Personally this app is a novelty for now, maybe someday It will be useful. I've disabled the app on my phone, I have no real use for it...(at least for now.)

Downloaded and updated Google wallet with new apk. Was able to add funds and use it at rite-aid. This is why Aosp rocks and rolls.

if you are speaking about the "unsupported device" banner on the top of the app, it works with it regardless
