Credit-card fraud may be less frequent; it definitely seems easier to deal with
Checking your e-mail in the middle of a baseball game is a selfish and crass thing to do. But it paid off–in a selfish and crass way–Sunday afternoon when I glanced at my device between innings and saw a new message from Chase Fraud Alert with the subject line “Action Needed: Please confirm this transaction.”
That e-mail reported an “online, mail or phone” charge of $326.91 on my business card from “RAZ*CL EDUCATE LIMITED.” My first thought was “who?” My second: Wow, it’s been a while since somebody’s tried to commit fraud with one of my credit cards.
After some quick searching confirmed that I’d had no prior interaction with this firm (apparently an Indian knowledge-services company), I tapped the “No, something’s wrong” button in the e-mail to swat aside the charge. Then I returned my attention to the game, an enjoyable 7-1 rout of the Cincinnati Reds.
About an hour later, my phone buzzed with another notification: Google Wallet had my replacement Chase card ready for tap-to-pay purchases.
The last time I had to deal with this nonsense happened long enough ago that I had to search my e-mail for evidence–which instead reminded me of how often Citi’s fraud-detection systems have nagged me with false-positive alerts. The last for-real incident may have been in 2018.
Back then, getting a fraud notification and having to cut up the compromised card felt like an annual ritual. The financial-services industry deserves a golf clap for the progress it seems to have made since then.
My replacement physical card arrived in the mail Friday, as predicted by Chase’s app on my phone.
That app, however, also showed that I still had a charge from this miscreant enterprise, so I had to call Chase to get that fixed.
After some automated gatekeeping–I was amused to hear the interactive voice-response system ask me to “enter the last three digits printed on the signature panel on the back of your card” when this card, like many, has no signature panel–a rep fielded my call and then handed me off to the bank’s fraud-response department.
After some additional verification–the last four digits of my Social Security number, as if that hasn’t been data-breached around the Earth, plus my mother’s maiden name and a one-time code texted to me–the second rep told me they’d seen “multiple transactions for this from the same company” but had somehow missed this one. She said they’d wipe that out.
If that happens–and if, better yet, this problem can refrain from recurring until 2034–that would be great.

A great way to use Google Wallet without giving up all your privacy, by using Privacy.com to create a Virtual Debit Card. Of course there will ALWAYS be some amount of tradeoff between Privacy & convenience, and Google this is no exception.

Well, this is getting traction and an email to #MobilePay team on their app solved the issue and they no longer use bootloader status for gating using their app 🥳🤝💫
I can tap to pay using Mobile Pay in Finland on a deGoogled device running non-rooted LineageOS 23.2. Take that #GoogleWallet.

Did your ID or driver's license vanish from your Google Wallet? 📱
If you use the app in Germany for photo backups, a recent bug seems to have wiped them out. Trying to re-add them triggers a frustrating "Try again later" error. Whether it's a regulatory veto or a sign of an impending feature rollout, you aren't alone in this digital ghost wipe.
Have your digital documents disappeared this week, or did your wallet survive? 👇

Out and about this morning and Google Wallet decided I couldn't use it to make payments.
I always carry my wallet just in case but some cards in GW are digital-only. Is there some kind of single-purpose piece of hardware designed to be used as a digital wallet without Google in my business? I'd much prefer that.

My growing retired-transit-card collection
A year ago, this week’s work trip to the Bay Area would have meant breaking out the oldest computer that I was still using with any regularity at the time: the Clipper card that I bought in June of 2012 to pay for fares on BART, Muni and other transit agencies around San Francisco.
But this year, I could leave that NFC-enabled smart card in the little holder in which I store my other stored-value transit cards and instead tap my phone to pay with my business credit card for each ride–first a SamTrans bus from SFO to Millbrae, then Caltrain to San Jose for TechEx North America, then two days of commuting up and down the peninsula for Google I/O.
BART started accepting contactless payments last August, and now all the Bay Area transit services that accept Clipper cards also let you tap to pay with a phone, a smartwatch or a credit or debit card with an NFC chip.
Whether you call it “tap to pay,” “open payments” or “open loop,” letting people pay for a fare as if it were any other on-the-go purchase is a great advance for transit. Especially for out-of-towners, as I realized years ago when visiting Chicago and Portland and appreciating the early lead of their transit services in this key bit of CX.
A growing array of agencies across the U.S. have finally wised up to this after years of requiring people to buy proprietary stored-value cards, install agency-specific apps or make a throwback cash payment: Metro, NYC’s MTA, the T in Boston, NJ Transit buses and light rail, SEPTA around Philadelphia, MARTA in Atlanta, and the Seattle region’s Sound Transit, among many others.
L.A.’s Metro has been a high-profile laggard–a personally inconvenient one since my TAP card expired last year. But this week users have begun reporting success on Reddit and in Bluesky posts with using their phones and credit cards to cover train and bus fares now that Metro there seems to have begun a soft launch of what it calls “TAP Plus.”
As I’ve spent down the balance on transit cards I no longer need, the ones that I still need to use are now most entirely confined to agencies in other countries. Some examples: I love Barcelona’s Metro but I don’t love how it doesn’t support tap to pay; Doha’s driverless metro is a technological marvel but also requires its own colorful card; Vancouver’s Compass Card offers enough of a discount over tap-to-pay rates (because that city didn’t follow Toronto’s fare-neutral example) that I picked up one for last year’s Web Summit conference there and used it again for this year’s event.
But there is one awkward exception right in my neighborhood: Arlington Transit, which continues to require the SmarTrip card that WMATA rolled out in 1999. So while I can pay for Metro like it’s the 21st century, I still have to keep my well-worn SmarTrip card handy in case an ART bus rolls up before a Metro bus does.

I go grocery shopping this morning. At checkout I attempt to pay for my groceries using an #ElanFinancialServices card stored in #GoogleWallet. The charge is declined. I try again using the physical card. It works.
Elan sends me email notifying me the charge was declined. "If you'd like to view this transaction, log in to your account." I log in; the transaction is not visible.
I call Elan. They are unable to tell me why the charge was declined.
