r/techsupport on Reddit: how do I find out my google pay virtual credit card number ?
March 27, 2023 -

I have google pay set up in my phone, and google creates a virtual credit card number for each of my credit cards, so whenever I make a purchase with google pay, the merchant actually charges the virtual card, then google charges my real card that associates with this virtual card number, it's safer because merchants would have no idea what my real card number is. My question is, how do I find out the full virtual card number that google created for my cards ? In google pay, I can only see the last 4 digits. Because I would like to use the virtual card number to make online purchases whenever a website doesn't accept google pay or paypal.

r/GoogleWallet on Reddit: automatic payments with wallet/pay and virtual card on a laptop?
January 14, 2025 -

I have one CC in google wallet set up as a virtual card on my windows laptop.

I would like to enable an automatic payment. Videos online claim that the virtual card number can be obtained by clicking on the card, hitting manage payments etc.
I don't see this at all. My CC is displayed there, it's actual exp date and last 4 digits are shown under the card, and the slider for virtual card is slid to blue. I'm assuming that's all there is to it?

So, I cannot access the virtual card number to use on a vendor's site for payment. But even that confuses me, I thought a new Virtual card number was issued for each online payment?

Can someone please point me to a solution?

May 24, 2022 - allows you to set spending limits on the virtual cards. ... I mean Google can collect your data pretty heavily but it's extremely unlikely that they will charge your credit card for no reason, untrusted merchants are more likely to do that.

I was adding a credit card in Google Pay. The card was added and works fine and was assigned a virtual card number. But when i try to access the virtual card number I need to authenticate and end up with a screen with three numbers being asked to verify the correct number "on my other device". I do not have another device set up with Google Pay. What am I missing here?

Which of the two reveals more data about your purchases, or makes it likelier that third parties will acquire your data?

Ik what sub I'm in. But people need to differentiate between Privacy, anonymity & security. Google & Apple are insanely good at security. I'd simply blindly trust them, as I'd only have to deal with OpSec. As for privacy, your bank would obviously know what you are doing. If you use Google pay, so will they so they can enhance security. Your govt cards like drivers license & tax returns also know your income and so forth. Yes, lesser privacy & lower anonymity. Also, google takes cuts, which I dislike. But in terms of security, which is what a lot of people should be caring about. Google and Apple are definitely safe ways to go for it. Use Google Pay. You DO NOT have to be someone who is OFF THE GRID. But rather someone who isn't PURELY reliant on Big Tech. Google is mostly ad based, if they were to sell your bank purchases and details. The bank would be sueing them immediately. Third party audits would screw them. And so would the people (if they were tech literate enough to know) However, Google Pay does help for an EcoSystem. Which is why it is exists. Same with Android & VSC & chromium, both open source but exist purely to dominate in the EcoSystem. Google Pay's purpose isn't for ad revenue, but for completeness for a mobile experience EcoSystem and to increase user dependency & ease of use. Use Google pay for its security. Especially with Bank Details. You others for anything else.

i feel like inserting another party into your payment chain is probably worse for privacy, especially considering that it's google

r/GoogleWallet on Reddit: Any way to get full details of virtual card number created by Google Wallet?
August 22, 2025 -

The title is the TL;DR

Problem: I need to register my credit card number with a specific retailer, so that my purchases and paperless receipts are kept in my account with that retailer (Home Depot). Whenever I use Google Wallet and "tap to pay", the purchase is made using a virtual card number that Google automatically created when I connected my credit card as a payment method. Using the Wallet app on my Pixel, and the web app, I can only see the last 4 digits of this virtual card number. I cannot find any way to view the entire 16-digit card number, expiration date, and security code. I called the card issuer, Capital One, and my problem was escalated through several levels of support. Support initially kept trying to direct me to the virtual card manager within the Capital One app, which I had already tried. The third level of escalated support told me that banks do not have access to virtual card numbers created directly by Google.

We are in a world where no one wants to keep paper receipts, so I do not think this is a small issue. An internet search reveals others have had this same problem. I'm hoping someone found a solution that I could not. TIA

r/starlingbankuk on Reddit: Adding Google pay to Virtual Card?
April 26, 2023 -

How guys, I've got my physical card in the post which had given me proper access to spaces and virtual cards.

I've seen it mentioned on here that you can add Google Pay to a virtual card instead of your main card details. Security wise I'm not sure the necessity of this as my understanding of Google Pay is that it hides your actual bank details when making purchases anyway.

Is it just an added level of security, or is it just a way to manage spending using your spaces?

Thanks!

(This happened with Samsung Pay BUT I would love to be to do what I asked with either that or Google Pay)

Almost three weeks ago, I bought stuff from the Apple Store with Samsung Pay but had trouble returning them last Friday. I have bought and returned many things with Samsung Pay with no issues, but the problem this time is that the virtual card number somehow changed (I have no idea how). The person helping me had to get the manager to figure out what to do, and I ended up having a check mailed to my house with the full amount (it already came). I'd rather not have to deal with all of that ever again.

Hello,

As the title explains: my physical card is no longer useful, I have the virtual card but, when trying to introduce it in the Google pay app, it says that "this card is not allowed to do contactless payments" or something like that.

So, basically, I cannot pay with my Plutus account at the moment.

Am I the only one with this problem? Any feedback?

April 18, 2023 -

Please forgive me if a common thread has already been discussed, I looked through and through but couldn't really find anything. I was just approved on June 1st for a $5k credit like through capital one. I saw that capital one offers a virtual card and digital card to add to google wallet. I've seen that I'm not the only one who has trouble trying to get a virtual card or add to my Google wallet so I don't have to wait for my physical card. But when I attempt to add the card to google wallet through the app it tells me "No eligible accounts found, we list only those credit cards for which you are the primary account holder" which I am the primary account holder. Just a bit confused if it's something I can fix or if I'm going to have to wait for my physical card in the mail.

I am stuck with the virtual card since I've only ordered my upgrade a month ago and was planning to use it with google pay. Never used/need that before so this might be a google issue as well.

The POS is asking for a pin, which I don't have for either google or the CRO card (I think?) anyone have any suggestions how to get around that?
