For what it's worth, Google Wallet never actually discloses your card. It uses a virtual MasterCard to complete the transaction.


The proxy card number doesn't change so why is this considered a feature? It discloses something which is as good as your backing real card number.

and i suspect you can cancel the proxy card, without impacting your normal card which may be on file for recurring payments elsewhere.
