Money back from Google Wallet - Nexus S General

So now that Google disabled the Google Wallet prepaid card, how do we get our money back we put on it or have access to it.
I logged on to Google Wallet website and only my credit cards I setup show up, the prepaid card doesn't show up. I would think Google would allow you to see and manage that card from the website, but you can't.
What do you guys think of this situation?
I don't really need the money from the card now, but I would think Google should at least send an email to Google Wallet user explaining the situation with the security of the app and fate of our money.

Right there with you buddy. Its bunk.
I have about $20 invested in Wallet myself

I think you can still use the rest of the money on it but you just can't add anymore. I just used it on Friday.

^^^This is correct.

they still should have sent out a brief email....it would have taken approximately 0 effort on their part.....

if this is the case, then they need to start supporting more major credit card companies....like...hmmm....i dunno.....visa lol

My balance says 0. I did find this screen:

I hope someone like Chase decides to add NFC payments to their banking app. They seem to know what the customer wants.

How about Lucid kernel???

I can't even log into my wallet app, its like perpetual "trying to unlock". I assume it'll be fixed quickly, or at least I hope.

They would if Visa would let them. Visa is trying to do it's own NFC thing and will not make a deal with Google.

Weird I could have sworn I saw visa joining Google Wallet for NFC and that all the paper work was being taken care of lol.. but if visa makes an NFC app then I'm using both Wallet and Visa ^_^

I can log in on my phone see my pre paid card. I haven't flashed a ROM in a while though

Speak for yourself. At one point my card was still there but money bank would not verify so it said 0 when i actually did have money on there. Finally, my money<---- not card, is back.

Google re-enabled provisioning last night. All is back to normal again. You can recharge and add prepaid cards again.

But the people who reset their wallet app data during the non provision period are stuck waiting for google. Mine still says prepaid unavailable

Unable to buy "foreign" apps.

Anyone have any idea why I cant buy apps from the UK ect that are listed in the market?...It wont take my default Amex card and keeps asking for a new card. This only happens with non US apps.
thanks.
Interesting...buying foreign currency apps...will only work with a Mastercard, not my Amex. Problem Solved.
I have a visa and everytime I wanna purchase from out of the country. I gotta call visa and ask them to take a hold off for 24 hours they do and it works. I guess they do that for security purposes

Yep, I ended up doing the same last November. Would have been nice if a meaningful error message was displayed by the Market letting us know that Amex is not accepted by certain countries/vendors.

Google has temporarily disabled Wallet provisioning

For those that use the Google Prepaid card portion of Wallet, Google has disabled provisioning for the time being.

"Second, we also take concrete actions to help protect our users. For example, to address an issue that could have allowed unauthorized use of an existing prepaid card balance if someone recovered a lost phone without a screen lock, tonight we temporarily disabled provisioning of prepaid cards. We took this step as a precaution until we issue a permanent fix soon"
This means you cannot add funds to your Google prepaid card (I found out first hand this morning), and I assume you won't have access to any balance that is currently on the card (I haven't confirmed this yet as I don't have a large enough balance to try to make a purchase).
It appears that you can use your current pre-paid balance for making a purchase, but you can't add funds to the account until Google re-enables provisioning.
"Cannot contact bank" soo stupid.
Verizon is probably behind this!?!
Verizon is not behind it, Google is worried about the security of the app that's why it has disabled the functionality of adding new funds. That number you should see where it currently says "can not contact bank'' is suppose to be your card number (similar to a credit card number). I assume a fix should be pushed this week.

Weird wallet / Google MasterCard........

When I first got my Nex7 I set it up including Google wallet. It setup my prepaid card and it was the same as on my Gnex and had the same balance. Last night I unlocked the boot loader on my Nex7 and rooted, left the stock Rom. Today I setup my wallet account again and its a new card number with a $10 balance.
I called money network and they told me there is no way I had my same card from my gnex on my Nex7 and that every device will had a different card number but it will be linked to the same email address. This just sounds weird to me.... so now I need to have 2 different wallet accounts and have to have two different balances? Is there a way to backup the app data from titanium backup from my gnex to my Nex7? I'd really like to have the same balance on both devices.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
My (perhaps limited) understanding is that you have one Wallet account with one balance but each device has its own card. No different to you and the missus having credit cards on the same account. The point being that each 'thing' you pay with must be able to be identified uniquely.
There is no need to backup your Google Prepaid card. It is tied to the device and each device has its own balance. You have one transaction history though.
If you were going to add money, beyond the $10 Google gave you, then I could see how it might be nice to have just one card. Maybe some day that can happen. Maybe around the same time they let you use whatever card you want.
Think of it like each device being a different debit card... pay with whichever card you like...

I'd be fine with that , but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work that way. There is two different balances. I did check my transaction history and it does show all my transactions from my phone. Weird. I really hope at some point google decide to come by in the balances for all devices.

I'm not sure what happens but I know I have seen a few threads on the gnex forums about "secure element" problems with the wallet app and the only fix is to replace the phone. This happened to a lot of people after flashing a Rom.
I'm just going to leave mine be and hope that one day they merge the balances.

[Q] (Q) Can you use cracked apps??

Hi looking at all the posts about Knox it's making me wonder if we can use cracked apps on the note 3 if someone can help me out that would be great also does Knox have to be installed because it just sounds like more problems than being helpful??
yes you can. Knox is like a safe, if you take pictures or use any Knox apps in Knox mode they stay in knox . if you come out of Knox mode you cannot view them.

I may be wrong, but he might be talking about modified apps (such as how a google wallet app was needed on non-supported phones), not illegal stuff.

I am not willing to pay anything before I know that the software will be bugfree and usable. It's kinda stupid to buy dozens of programs which are not working at all. And fifteen minutes payback is quite a little time to see if the program is what you think it would be. And even if it's only few euros, .. if you are forced to many.. that will be quite a lot of money.

That's why there's a refund period. And most developers extend that period beyond what the play store gives.

Dear Americans, we use DEBIT cards. Google Wallet only supports Credit Cards. To get a credit card here you need to have a stable income of over 20.000 a year, solid job (no freelance) and be over 21. Which rules out 80% of the users.
Most of the 750 million people in Europe can't even GET a credit card.
So it's not all cheap, greedy people. Keep your prejudice to yourself.
Oh yes, we have prepaid credit cards: They don't support refunds. So we have to find alternative means to test an app.
There, welcome to the rest of the world.
Now, I for one would also like to know if it works. Simply because I use a few apps that are only available for US users. (Stop being so selfish as a market. Really.)

A lot of Americans use debit cards on the Play Store just fine. How? Most any debit card attached to a bank account can also be run as a credit card. We call them "check cards" when they have a credit card company logo and can be run as either. The difference? Running as credit has no terminal fee or minimum purchase (as part of the credit card merchant's agreement), does not require a PIN, works in more places, but often requires a signature, withdraws from your bank/checking account (no credit line), and does not have the same consumer protections (harder to get your money back if stolen or misused). Also, many places only take one payment type or the other (credit or debit) so a check card conveniently works at both.
Most anyone with a bank account can get a check card even if they don't qualify for credit. Is it really so different there?

That would be very useful. But no, we don't have those. I'm not sure our banks even know of the concept.
We have a Debit card with a 4 digit pin. This is direct withdraw. Maestro, it's called.
For Credit Cards we need to get an additional, paid service (50 bucks a year, I believe. and that's just for the registration, you also need to pay for the card.) with Visa, MasterCard or similar, detached services. They're not directly part of the bankservice.
For instance, I have an account with ABN AMRO. If I wanted to get a credit card, I'd have to apply to VISA or ABN Gold (which then gets me a VISA card. This type of account you can only get if you have a balance of over 50.000 on the account. Which'll never happen. I'm a graphic designer.)
You can't actually pay with a credit card in the shops here. Well, you can, but doing so requires filling out a (paper!)cheque, 25 Euro administration fee and a transaction time of a week. In every shop. For every purchase. And even then 80% of the shops refuse it as a method of payment.
The advantage is that if we ever loose our card (or accidentally put the bill unshredded in the paper bin), people can't empty our accounts without the pin number; with a credit card only the cardnumber is sufficient for payment. (The security code is on the back of a credit card...)
That said, I do have a Prepaid 3V VISA card (It's an alarming shade of pink and can only be charged (pre-charged, it works like a prepaid SIM) up to a specific amount per month, but for Google Play it works well enough. Renting a car, however, has to be done over the course of 4 months.) For the apps I do consider worth the payment. (Apex, Tapatalk, Moonreader, etc.)

Not in Europe, they don't.
Our cardnumber isn't the same as the one they use in the US. It's literally just the number of the card, so when you open an account, you always get 001.
It's not personalized.
Open the account, you get:
Account 112234567, Card 001.
Get a new one card after it expires, is lost or stolen, it's:
Account 112234567, Card 002.
Payment over the internet is done via iDeal or a similar service, which requires a cardreader and works withdynamic codes.

Remove the card from your wallet account and add it back again,then try ordering. That's what worked for me.

I don't think the Nexus phones are available for purchase yet in the Dominican Republic. Either Google recognizes you are on a VPN, or they see you are international trying to use a US-based card. Either way, I am happy to see Google being proactive with security.

As i said, I bought the Nexus 5 with the same account, card and country based.
Google is not being proactive with security if this "proactivity" doesn't allow you to make a purchase.
Banks already has their own security systems, so there's no reason why Google should be that kind of strict in payments options. They're losing business opportunities.
Ill figure out the way to buy it, then, Il post the solution. But I'm sure that I going to get it.
Even i ordered from outside the US and faced this issue several times. Try what i said.

This is what I did. I live in Jamaica but have a USA account with a US bank. I used a VPN on my laptop (hotspotshield) and I ordered using that card and shipped to a freight forwarding address in the USA and my order went through ok, I think I'm one of the first orders to go through too as I noticed the nexus 6 website ended with /nexus/6 so I had /nexus/6p on auto refresh which eventually went live and I ordered immediately.
