We heard it a lot from the Google I/O keynote today: Google is out to make our less complicated, more convenient. One of these efforts Google is making didn’t even make it into the keynote today, but we actually think it’s pretty rad. From the Official Gmail Blog we found out that Gmail and Google Wallet will be joining efforts to allow us to send… Read more
When Google Wallet Prepaid Cards were shut down, people were asked to apply for refunds for whatever funds were left in there. As you probably know, that plan did not go without a hitch. Refunds were delayed do to some processing issues. However, it seems that those issues were fixed and you should get your refunds before the year is over. Google sent… Read more
Google’s official support site for Google Wallet has pretty much confirmed the physical Google Wallet card (as if we weren’t already sure!). We reported on the card earlier, but now we have even bigger news. A new Google Wallet app sans NFC support will hit all Android devices running 2.3.3 or later. This means that the app will be able to control the… Read more
It looks like Google Wallet is getting better, and fast. The physical Google Wallet card is nigh. It’ll work like a regular bank card, just swipe and go.

You’ll need your Google Wallet device ID, IMEI and/or MEID, and some… Read more
Verizon may have blocked the Google Wallet app from their Galaxy Nexus all this time, but it didn’t stop people from installing it anyway. Sideloading, through the browser, or even just coming pre-loaded with custom ROMs, there were many ways to get it installed. The thing is, it would work just fine. Now, it seems that either Verizon or Google has… Read more
In a logical move, Google has announced that they have cancelled their prepaid cards in Google Wallet. Considering that any bank card now works with Wallet, there isn’t any point in it anymore. While it is a logical move, only time will tell if it is a good one. After September 17th, you will not be able to add any balance to a prepaid card. After… Read more
While Google Wallet has supported all major bank cards for a while now, Discover has made it a lot easier for their customers.

Yesterday, Google Wallet was updated with the ability to use any bank card you want to use. It wasn’t a perfect solution, actually emulating a MasterCard and charging the bank card with a GOOGLE transaction. Apparently, American Express isn’t too happy with Google for that.
