[SOLVED] How to add less than $20 to Google Wallet? AND MORE ABOUT GOOGLE WALLET

[HeroKhar]

Hello all,

Recently I purchased a $15 Prepaid MasterCard not knowing there was a $20 minimum top-up. I am wondering if there is any way to add less than $20 to my Google Wallet. Also, the "Other" option to add money does not work. ANY suggestions are greatly appreciated, thank you so much in advance!


Sincerely,
HeroKhar

The little policy thing they want you to read before you accept and use it declares that the prepaid can only be loaded with a minimum of 20. And the other is over 20 like 25, but the least you can put is 20. Google locked up security with the app so hackers can't steal money from them. Your only option is to buy a new prepaid card, VanillaVisa has 4.95 fee and i think walmart has 3.00 fee. Or you just going to have to swipe until you get more money. Maybe buy some nfc tags online and programming to do cool stuff. Your coolness factor for checking out at stores is going to go down, but most people seen this now so its not going to be as great as when the nexus first had it.

Thanks for the reply, do I'm pretty much doomed with my prepaid card...great gonna try and find another use for it. Thanks for the reply anyway! Plus, where I live in Canada, I'm one of the very few maybe even only one around here to have a Nexus and Google Wallet so my coolness factor's still up in the clouds

No problem. Canada's coolness seems to be a bit behind. Just next time remember to check before you buy prepaid cards. I ran into alot of mistakes with those things.

Also!!! just hit the thanks button in the lower left hand corner. Its like gold over here!

Haha yeah, its been a while since I've used Wallet and I completely forgot about the minimum reload amount. Also, I've been around XDA for quite some time and I know how much the thanks button means, so I gave you one. Thanks again for the reply and take care!

Yes, check out this video here, I followed it. It's a great tutorial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtUBw4dCaNo&feature=g-upl

Worked great. Would be nice to get the new version released today. Wonder if it will be easier for Canadians to add funds?

Do you mean the video worked for you? But anyway, I'm going to try getting the new app on my Nexus S i9020a and report my findings, I'll also try to find a video and report that one to you guys too.

I did it also but don't see the wallet app?? What am I missing?

1) Are you rooted?
2) Do you have a device that has NFC (aka a compatible device)?
3) Did you put the modded APK in both locations as mentioned in the video?
4) Did you set the correct permissions as mentioned in the video?
5) Did you reboot after doing everything?

I hope I helped you, feel free to ask any questions

You know my guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810282 will help you out, the links have been updated too for the latest Google Wallet and indeed yes it does help us Canadians A LOT the video of that guide has also been updated (links, etc.). The method of installation, however, remains the same, just replace the new APK with the old one. Check my guide above for more details. Best of luck to you, my friend!
