I am sad about this. I've used the card since it came out years ago. Reloading, paying, canceling, renewing, locking were all so super easy. Only reason I didn't switch to Simple was because of the existence of Google Wallet + card, guess I'll be looking into that now.
Simple has been fantastic for me the past two years or so; give them a shot.
hmm, not even sure what that was. I know this sounds like sour grapes complaining so feel free to read it in Verruca Salt's voice if you want... This is why I am scared to try anything new from Google. I know why they do it, I know how they do things, I totally get it, but it does not make it better. I know they like trying new things. I know they're not afraid to get rid of things that aren't performing like they wa…
'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
My debit/credit card pairing hasn't been cancelled or changed in the 10 years I have had it unless I have specifically engineered that change.
The reality is that you just shouldn't trust google for anything that appears long term, and consider them as a casual partner, not a long term relationship.

It would be great if they at least open sourced failed experiments.

I really hate gushing about products and services on public forums, but Simple deserves it.

This makes it obvious how successful the Wallet Card was, I wonder how well Google Pay is doing. I would not have even heard about Google pay if I wasn't on HN, and I have used Android from the beginning.
While Apple Pay adds dozens of banks each month, the list of Android Pay participating banks seems to have barely budged since the beginning ( https://support.google.com/androidpay/answer/6314169?hl=en ). In particular, Chase still doesn't work with Android Pay.

I'll vouche for Simple. Their app and Goals feature are great, but the thing I love is the real time purchase notifications. It's kind of amazing to me that no bank (that I have used yet) have apps with this functionality. It's incredibly comforting to get a notification everytime I buy something. It also helped me identify falsified purchases the moment they happened, which enabled me to put a hold on my card and fi…
