Google Wallet Master Thread

Why can't we enjoy the ability to pay friends for free via cc without needing to abuse it?

[Moshe123]

I was wondering the same thing.

Because they think that they can crack down on it without banning users and then have all of us as users for their purposes.

Very true, but I think he meant to ask that this forum, to a large degree, is made up of people who need to meet spending thresholds.

Anyone else get a cease and desist email from Google Wallet today?

[AJK]

Care to post it?

Awesome dude

But like, doesn't he know what this site is about. Why on the one hand praise DD for the conga concept when the whole point is to manufacture spend for points on google's dime. And then on the other hand act like that's a problem.

The point of this site/the conga isn't to manufacture spend on google's dime.

[Chapshnell]

They basically told me to stop sending and receiving so much? That sounds like cease and desist to me.

Time to go back to AP and VR for a bit for me.

Did you forget a "0"? I would just increase it and see what happens. Have they asked for documentation yet?

I have 2 accounts on my name. my personal one and my business one. They are linked, under the same name, same address, same social all the emails from one, get forwarded to the other, there's no way Google doesn't know they are both me.
