NFC Payments ISIS or Google Wallet - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Google Wallet all setup on my N5 with my American Express card. It works fine for all GW transactions except Tap and Pay (NFC). I get a message that the transaction has been declined by card issuer. When I swipe the card at the same terminal it goes through no problem.
I contacted American Express to find out why the charges are declined. Amex initially said they see no declined transactions on their end. After further investigation with Amex tech support I was told the Amex does not support GW Tap and Pay so the NFC transactions never even gets to them. He suggested I try ISIS Mobile Wallet which they fully support.
When I try to install ISIS from the Play store there are 3 options. ATT, Verizon and T-Mobile. I am on Straight Talk using an AT&T SIM so I tried that one. When try to install it's grayed out with "No eligible devices for app install". I also tried the other two options with the same result.
So I started looking for the ISIS apk to manually load the app and found post about needing a special SIM and carrier restrictions. Also saw that it does not work on rooted phones.
My questions are:
1. Has anyone been able to an Amex card to work with Google Wallet Tap and Pay (NFC)?
2. Is there any way to get ISIS loaded and working onto a stock rooted Nexus 5 using a Straight Talk plan?

You could still match them up to your phone. Google Wallet keeps track of everything just as it'd appear on your credit card statement. Your individual transactions would just appear on your phone, and not your paper statement. I only have my visa card on google wallet since that's my main card, but when I go to costco or buy gas, I use my american express card and swipe it instead of tapping.

I use my official Amex Corporate statement for expense reimbursement. Otherwise I need to keep individual receipts. I'd rather just swipe the card then go through all that.

Quick question, u are using Google wallet as a credit transaction right? It will not work as a debit. I did this at first till I actually read Google wallets instructions.
And can u use american express as payment through Google play store? If so then theoretically it'll work with wallet. Sorry u mentioned that u could.
On my visa card it shows Google Merchant not McDonald's. Doubt this will work in ur case for expenses reimbursement without individual receipts.

Isis doesn't work with straight talk.

My Amex used to work with GW tap and pay, but I switched over to another primary card and it's probably been more than 6 months since I've used it. If I have the opportunity, I'll test it. Given their involvement with ISIS though, it wouldn't surprise me if GW was no longer supported.

Login to the web and somewhere in your account settings you should be able to access shopper and then set whatever you can in it as far as payment methods. It's been a long time since I messed with it, but I think they sent an email saying they had or were going to incorporate shopper and wallet together.

They explicitly said that the Google prepaid "card" would be limited to NFC purchases only, and not enabled for use via any other route.
With the latest version of Wallet they announced that Citi prepaid Mastercards could now be used online, but they did not say there has been any change with the Google "card".
If you find that you are able to use the Google $10 credit in any other way, that would be great, but I think the whole point was to limit it to NFC use from the outset.

[Q] Is there a way to get the credit card number of my Google Prepaid Debit Card?

I recently got Google Wallet onto my Galaxy Nexus, and got a free Google Prepaid Debit Card. See, well I don't have a real credit card or anything, and I want to be able to get free apps on the Amazon App Store. I heard one trick is to register a completely used debit card with your account and you can get the free apps. So is there a way to get the real number for my Google Prepaid Debit Card? I don't think it is the ID because I just made a purchase Google wallet and the last 4 digits on my receipt is different from the ID.
I'm going to check it so wait

[Q] Question for Canadian users of the Play Store.

I'm unsure if this is the best place for this thread, so move if needed...
Just before getting my Nexus 7, my wife and I finally paid off all our credit cards and got rid of them all. I expected that if I wanted to purchase something from the Play Store, I could simply use a prepaid Visa/Mastercard (I don't purchase many apps, so I can deal with silly fees on these things).
Anyway, I've had various friends tell me that they've never been able to get these to work on the store. So, I'm asking you....do you know of any prepaid cards that will work on the Play Store in Canada?
Thanks.
Not sure about the "Gift" type of prepaid cards work, but I have a Visa Titanium (pre-paid, reloadable) from MoneyMart that I use for online shopping and I can confirm that it works with the Play Store.

Thanks, I'll look into that.
I use Mastercard Vanilla cards (prepaid) and then just register them to the USA.
Believe it or not, 90210 counts as a valid zip code! (like the show haha)
Anyways, register it on the Mastercard Site, (just Google Mastercard vanilla) and then go to the play store, add funds and enter the card number.
Works for me like a charm, hopefully works for you!

Welp, decided to answer my own question.
I picked up a $25.00 Visa Gift Card from my local grocery store, and it works perfectly.
All that's needed is to register the card with your name and address on the issuer's site. Google then allowed the card to be added in Wallet easily.
The one I purchased had a $3.95 upfront fee and no other fees after that. So, that's fair enough in my book.

[Q] Tap & Pay in Canada

Just wondering if this is possible to use in Canada. I know Samsung has the Beep 'n Go app that seemed to work pretty well. However google wallet is still not available in Canada to use.
Google hates Canada. Its true...and I'm not flaming, I'm in Canada too.
Can't tell Google now to play my music, cause I don't live in the states. I mean wow. Lol

What's with the Google hate for Canada? I also noticed we can't get the Google Play Now Unlimited or whatever
Is it more that the Banks and Credit card companies in Canada are not willing to support Google Wallet? Remember that Canadian adoption of advanced financial options like debit cards far exceeded the US for a long time. That would mean that Canadian financial institutions want you to use their already established methods such as the Interact terminals you see at a Tim Hortons. Can those devices support tap to pay from a phone? I already see people use credit card tap to pay at my local grocery store but only if you are using a specific credit card company.

RBC / Bell allow the Galaxy S3 and S4 to use your phone to tap to pay, but requires a nfc sim card and doesn't actually work yet, but does promise the same support for future phones if they decide to bless them. Insert disgusted sarcastic smiley. (Sounds stupid to me, all you should need to use in that scenario is the nfc sim to tap and pay, the phone is irrelevant other than setup. How about using a NFC ring instead of a phone? Attach an NFC sticker to your finger, done, real tap and pay.)
There is no hate for Canada, Google is a US based company and caters to the US market.

Using Canadian bank on Samsung pay

Hey All!
Not sure if I am posting it in the right place. But I have S8+ from t-mobile. Now I go back and forth between US and Canada. SAMSUNG pay has accepted my Bank of America Card. However when I try to add my Canadian bank (yes this bank is comparable to Samsung pay). It does not accept it.
Anyway I can have my Canadian debit card on it? Is there way to add the Canadian Samsung pay app on secure folder and use it from there?
Thank you
Only certain cards from CIBC are accepted for Samsung Pay. No bank is currently compatible with Samsung Pay in Canada, including CIBC. Again, only a handful of cards that CIBC offers are compatible.
Debit cards are not compatible. Only certain CIBC Visa cards will work with Samsung Pay.
Td Canada app supports phone pay.

Every major Canadian Bank has its own payment solution I think. I use RBC Wallet. I would like to have Samsung Pay officially through because I want to be able to use my S3 Classic to pay for stuff like I can with my Apple Watch.

Does CIBC have something live this. I found something on playstore called CIBC mobile pay app. But when i opened it, it said it was no longer available.
CIBC had it but they withdrew the app so that people use Samsung pay

And then they limited it to 3 VISA cards. That's rich.
Screw Samsung pay. RBC wallet works great and so far everywhere I tried it works.
Well I have been using Samsung pay in the US with bank of America debit card in it and it is pretty impressive. Unlike Canada a lot of place here don't support NFC to pay. So I use Samsung pay and it's MST technology has worked without fail every single time.
It's funny because every time I pull my phone out I get a weird look followed by "Yeah you cannot pay with your phone here". At which point I always say "I'd like to give it a try" and it works.
It is always followed by Shock, and people saying "how did it work, we don't support mobile payment method".
I have had it work so well that when I am back in Canada would like to use it with my CIBC debit card. But looks like for now I have to stick to swiping my card like it's the stone age. Jk

That's pretty much how I feel as well seeing as it's been coming soon for 2+ years.
That's crazy which card is it that's compatible with Samsung Pay from CIBC?
Aventura credit card from CIBC works.
Scotia wallet, works also good, but again, each bank is providing its own solution...
I wish i could use the bank wallet or Samsung Pay...
I'd like Sam pay for when tap isn't available for RBC wallet
