If you’re in the U.S and have the option to get a Google wallet card, you’ll be prompted in the Google wallet app or on the Google wallet website, where you’ll then have to verify your identity and request the card. Verifying your identity is as simple as giving your name, address, birth date and social security number, but Google already had the necessary information from previous purchases for us to order with two clicks.

The card will arrive in 10-12 days according to Google, and you’ll be ready to activate it and set it up for payments thereafter.

The Wallet card will let you pay for items at any retailer, even those that don’t have the little NFC kiosks Wallet has thus far relied upon. The charge should be relayed to your Wallet account just like you had used an NFC phone. It’s unclear if that’s just the Wallet balance, or if cards are included too. This fits nicely with Google’s strategy of uncoupling the NFC payments in KitKat from the hardware secure element. Google is really making Wallet easier to use on multiple fronts.
