Google has sent out an email to all its Wallet users informing them that support for NFC redemption of gift and loyalty cards will end on August 21, 2013.

The popular worldwide taxi service, Uber, has announced a new offer encouraging its users to link their Google Wallet accounts to pay for their fares. Each new user will receive a $20 discount and existing users will be awarded a $10 discount for paying with Google Wallet.
