How was your first time with Google Wallet?

I just got back from my local CVS pharmacy (in Northern Virginia near Aol's old HQ) where I tried Google Wallet.

The experience was flawless; I turned the screen on, placed phone on the the Credit Card machine where the the NFC should work, and it gave a little ding that it worked.

It was fast, easy, and secure. Although I do have the setting to leave it unlocked for 30 mins after typing in my PIN, but being a uber-phone nerd, I am not worried about my phone going out of my sight.

Was your experience just as smooth?

Just tried it on the drive-thru in Jack in the Box and it didn't work. It dinged and said it read it, I pressed done, but nothing happened. Tried it three times. I'll try it again on my way home and see how it goes.

Google or MasterCard?

Used it at 7-11, the look of confusion on the clerks face was great.

FYI, CitiBank MasterCard Banking Cards are not supported yet, but i was told today eventually they will.

Has anyone else had a hard time getting the google prepaid card to activate? It just keeps failing.

Yeah just keep trying. It took me seriously close to a dozen times.

Oh and I can confirm that the free ten dollars is tied to the device and not the google account. I tried my other google accounts and it didn't give me more money.

I tried Jack also. . . The manager came to the window and told me those machines have never worked at any of the stores! I told him they need to get them up and running and he looked confused as to why; it got worse when I tried explaining google wallet to him.

I bought 2 cokes @ Circle K. I warned the cashier what I was going to do. She was stunned when the cash register crapped out the receipt.

One quick swipe & the phone vibrated, & I was done.

Very fast transaction.

Forgive my ignorance, but where do you find these machines that use Google Wallet. What do they look like? Is there some kind of logo on them? I thought this stuff was just being deployed now.

Yup, and there is a site that shows you where you can use it in your area as well as a PayPass locator app.

Literally on my way out the door so I can't dig up the links right now, but theyve been posted in the threads here about Wallet.

"Paypass Locator" app will also show you where they are.

Used it in my local rite aid. Transaction went through smoothly. As I pulled my phone back, the clerk did a double take & asked me if I just used my phone to pay. She had no clue what was going on.
