Anyone having problems with Google Wallet? I have used it twice today with two different payment options and both times it was declined. Worked fine last week.

For purchases over a certain dollar amount, you need to have added money to your Wallet balance.

I should have clarified... These were a tap and pay transactions, with wallet linked to two credit cards.

Please see attached.

My error says there was just an "issue processing my transaction"

Ah. Well, I guess you could transfer some money to the wallet balance and see if it works. I'll try it in the morning and report back.

Go into the settings for tap and pay and tell it to use the backup funding instead of your Google wallet balance.

Another $10 from Google wallet?

I recently went back to stock unrooted after using Pete's ics for a few days and went to sign into Google wallet. I got a welcome email and also received another $10 credit as if it was my first time using this which is wasn't. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm not complaing lol cause free money is free money; however, I really don't want to owe them in the end.
Spend that ten quickly before big brother find out.

They are supposed to do it one time only since they use a serial number from your phone but apparently it somehow was changed would be my guess between your rooted ics and unrooted roms.
I got it twice one time as well I didn't understand why but I didn't care

It gave me another ten bucks as well. I still have 10 bucks on my other phone but they are different account numbers so hopefully I have 20 bucks now.

I doubt you would owe them since its a bug on their end. I say tell us if you really can spend the $20 then we can do it 20 times to buy new pair pants. Then change our user names.

Google Wallet seems to rely on the IMEI to determine if you are a new wallet user or not, despite using the same gmail account in gwallet on multiple devices, thus giving each device $10 in their wallet.
I bought my GNex in March, and installed wallet on it sometime after that for the first time ever. Of course, I got the $10. I didn't actually get to use it until recently, simply to not encoutnering anything that used NFC payments until I began attending college in Florida- all their vending machines are NFC enabled.
Shortly after starting school, my phone began acting very odd. Something was wrong with the battery controller, not the battery itself, resulting in very odd and frustrating battery issues. Anyways, I sent my phone in, since it was still under warranty, to be replaced. Kept the same SIM card, used the same gmail account on it, all that jazz.
Well, I of course put wallet back on it. To my surprise, the free $10 was given to me, even though I signed in with the same gmail account as on the faulty phone.
So, if you ever have to send in your device for replacement, spend that money before you do because you will probably get another 10.
Hey, we didn't do anything to exploit it. It's all on Google, here. Their mistake I suppose.
I did get any free money

Google Wallet won't work. Definitely should search the forums before posting a new topic saying something doesn't work. Just some honest advice...

We would need new sim cards with the secure element before Google wallet would work. I highly doubt it will ever work on our phone.... Ever. I don't even think there are any non Google phones that have Google wallet working

Did anyone think because ATT enabled NFC that there are either 2 options as ATT unlike rogers wont leave a feature enabled that they don't want you to use. 1) ATT is going to support google wallet (Unlikely) 2) ATT is working on there own wallet thing

Nfc has many other uses besides Google wallet, I have a 50 pack of Nfc tags on the way. Program 1 to launch car home and stick the Nfc sticker on my dock so it auto launches car home, one on he night stand to evoke the desk clock at night, Pandora Nfc tag on the bathroom sound dock. Many many more uses.

You could also put two NFC phones together and exchange data which is kinda cool. :silly:

Yes, they facilitate the interaction between the carrier and the financial institution to provision the wallet on your device from what I understand.

More details on the tags please. Are you referring to the techtags samsung is selling or is there some cheap bulk alternative that's easy to program?

What? The competition is working together? I'm going to have to look more into this ISIS. Find it a little hard to believe that they all teamed up to build something.
Update:
You were on the right page but off a little. ISIS was founded by AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Also it will only be available for these 3 providers appearently in the summer.

PayPal's widget works with NFC. All it really does is let you request money from someone. So, you put in the amount and tap your phone to theirs and the request goes to their PayPal for them to authorize.
In other words, it takes out the steps of opening the app and sending the request.
Now, if I just had friends with phones with NFC....
That owed me money....
AND that were not BROKE!!!!

if paypal was to (and they might) step up to the plate, they could be #1 in the nfc payment market...
No doubt. PayPal is partners with MasterCard (I have a PayPay MC Debit card).
They could easily turn ANY phone with NFC into a MasterCard PayPass linked to your PayPal account funding method.

Google wallet and block c

With the recent fcc ruling stating that verizon couldn't block tethering apps how can they still block wallet? Is it not the same thing?

Yes, there is a thread pinned at the top of the general forum. It works fine, I've been using wallet on my VZW S3 for a few weeks now.
I cannot. No matter what I do I get error adding Citi card. Got free 10 bucks and used that fine. Just can't get card added.
I did have it added when I rooted using some sprint hybrid root then redid it using root 66. Have not been able to add card back. Even called Citi and had them remove card still did not work. Don't think card issue because I added to nexus 7 just fine. Don't know what the issue is. I followed directions perfectly.

Looks like Citi may be having issues. I'm having the same problem along with at least one other in the Google Wallet thread in the AT&T GSIII forums and there's also a thread in the Evo 4GLTE forum.
If so they have been for last five days or so....

It's weird because it's obviously communicating with Citi as everytime I try to redo the card, I get a pending authorization on my account but it just Google Wallet sits there hung on "Verifying your account". Didn't have any issue with the old hacked version but the new one refuses to work. Maybe they're only allowing certain devices?

Pending still.....
So I ordered mine here in Canada on November 1st at like 2:23PM. My order has been pending this whole time and keeps shortening on when it leaves the warehouse, says leaves warehouse by the 26th.
But I got an email saying payment declined, but on my bank statement it says the amount was already taken so technically my money is in the universe because google doesn't have it.
Spent 22mins on the phone with Google just to have the guy tell me that they don't have my money. Called my bank got transferred to a manager turns out the bank authorized the payment but Google sent it back, it was Google wallet that declined my payment!!!
Google should have notified me of return of payment but also the bank was waiting on confirmation of return of payment, now I have to wait up to 5 business days for the money to return to my account and use my other credit card but I have to wait for the money to return because I don't have enough on my other credit card.
Most disappointing thing is my order has been ready this whole time but Google waited 15 days to notify me.
I think Google has it out for Canadians or just our banks.
Only waiting a week? Isn't a week ago the stock say 2-3 weeks or 3-4 weeks depending on configuration. Just keep waiting. After N5 went online on the play store for 24 hours, the wait time has been at least a few weeks. I ordered mine on the morning of Nov1 and it was saying 2-3 weeks, but it just shipped 2 days ago. You may have to wait another week or 2.

Anyone receive their $100 Samsung credit for adding card to Samsung pay?

I just registered my card on my brother's phone, filled out the forms to claim my $100. Now I'm just wondering how long it takes to receive the credit. Anyone get theirs yet?
6-8 weeks, usually.

You can give it to me if you don't use it.
Not the $100 GC, but the $50 check.
I registered on 12/07/15, got approval today, 12/15/15. Haven't received it yet, but email states ~4 weeks.
Also registered for the Gifts of the Season promo. No approval as of yet.
Well, it's been 2 weeks and I haven't gotten my code. Calling Samsung is useless and none of the reps knew what to do except give me a link to email their "promotions" department.
I submitted for mime on Nov. 25th, and had it approved the 9th of December. I used it to order a gear vr, didn't have to pay a dime for anything and when it ships... Whenever that is, I won't have to pay for that either. So win win. Good luck.
