    ah, that’s a shame. I’m heavily relying on google pay (also BLIK, but I’m usingboth polish and Ukrainian cards, and blik is a poland-only thingy) since i only have virtual credit cards right now. having everything (bank cards, govt ids etcs) on my phone is just too convinient to give up like that

      I was concerned with this myself and planned to just add a physical card under my phone case, but I was suprised how little difference using the card normally made.

      And if you care about privacy, you probably shouldn’t make your purchases using a google app.

        That’s the vibe I got from it. It took longer to activate the app than it took to get a card out of my wallet. It had the potential to fail if my battery was flat. Google could track my shopping habits.

        So, that’s a pass.
