If you’re a Google Wallet user you may have just received a message from Google. It looks like the search giant will be ending support for their own prepaid card in Google Wallet. On September 17th you’ll no longer have the ability to add funds to the card and on October 17th you will not be able to use it at all. If you have funds available on the card after then, you can request a refund. Check out the full communication email after the break and be prepared to add your own card if you would like to continue using Google Wallet.

| Hello,
Thank you for being one of the first users of the Google Wallet app and for activating your Google Prepaid Card. Since we recently launched the ability to use any debit or credit card in Google Wallet,we are going to discontinue the Google Prepaid Card soon.
Spend your Google Prepaid Card balance
- To check if you have any funds remaining on your card, navigate to the Payment cards section of the Google Wallet app and tap your Google Prepaid Card.
- You don’t have to spend the exact amount of your balance — at most merchants, you can cover the remainder of a purchase with any other payment method.
Important dates affecting your Google Prepaid Card
- September 17, 2012: You will no longer be able to add funds to your Google Prepaid Card or add a new Google Prepaid Card to a new device. Please be aware that resetting the Google Wallet app after this date will remove the Google Prepaid Card and you will not be able to re-add the card. Find out more at http://www.google.com/wallet/prepaid-refund/faq.html
- October 17, 2012: Your Google Prepaid Card will disappear from the Google Wallet app and you won’t be able to spend your balance any longer. Don’t worry, you will be able to request a refund if you have remaining funds by visitingwww.google.com/wallet/prepaid-refund.
Your Google Prepaid Card has new terms and conditions
Previously, you were charged a $2.00 monthly maintenance fee after 180 days without any transactions. Now, you will be charged this fee after 30 days without any transactions. This fee is automatically deducted from your Google Prepaid Card balance. However, you won’t be charged any fees as long as you spend your balance before October 17, 2012. You can view the new terms and conditions here.
