Do I understand this correctly...?
If you add your bank card to #GoogleWallet, it creates a virtual card number for you to use for making payments. All done under the guise of better #security of course (don't share your actual card details with merchants).
But it seems to me that what you're actually doing is adding Google into the list of people who know what your card details/purchases are... Right?
