 New Google Wallet Update takes things to the cloud, lets you add any credit card...

This is big, folks. Google Wallet finally has been opened up to more payment methods. Mainly, it now works with any credit card and lists credit cards previously tied to your Google account. It's taking a new approach to mobile payments, moving everything into the cloud and off your device. That means a couple things. For one, you'll still need a PIN to use Google Wallet, and Google (and us as well) recommends you have a lock on the entire phone. But should things go awry, you can lock and remotely disable Google wallet on a lost phone. As Google points out, that's not something you can do with your leather wallet.

After that, alls you need is a Google Wallet-compatible device (here's the list of 'em), and you're off and running. No more exclusives. No more errors. So head to the Play Store and smash that update button, and be sure to let us know in the comments how it goes adding cards to the app.

Used it today. !! is on point. It has a web based option for you to disable it remotely too in case you lose the phone which is nice. It also keeps digital receipts for every purchase on your online GWallet account.

It was absolutely useless before they added the ability to add any of your cards. niccas wild out when you go from texting at the counter to checkout like a !!ing boss. [pic]

Lol I still got a 1.04 in my google prepaid card account but I have my card attach to it...about to hit up cvs and act a fool

Warning!!!! When you are not using g wallet, it's best to turn off NFC and android beam....I keep my option turned off until I get to a store to use then I just turn it on, use it and turn it back off...they have card reading ability where they can just walk past you in a mall or store and steal your !!..,don't get caught slipping
