Two new Google Wallet features you don't want to miss
First, low balance alerts have been added, so you can get a notification when your account reaches a specific dollar amount.
Second, there is now a way to top off your account with automatic balance transfers. Here's how to get started with both:
Low balance alerts
Low balance alerts can prevent you from experiencing that
embarrassing moment at checkout when the cashier tells you that your
payment has been declined, by warning you so you can top up in time.
Here's how to set them up: Step 1: Tap the left slide-out menu and pick Wallet Balance (or tap your balance amount if you're on the main Wallet screen).
