Pardon me if this is old news; the last I looked into this was in December when I applied for Citi Mastercards for my wife and myself, specifically for our use with Google Wallet. Some internet postings plus follow up phone calls to Citi and Google confirmed any particular Mastercard account could only be assigned to one phone. It doesn't help that all the numbers on the two cards are 100% identical.
Anyway, fast forward to today when I removed my early version, side-loaded Wallet apk and installed the current market version on my and my wife's phones.
I then plugged her Mastercard numbers into her Wallet, although I used my year of birth info where it asked since I'm the primary.
From there, everything processed without a hitch, and the only difference was an email I received from the bank saying an authorized user was attempting to access the full credit line of the account, and if that's alright, here's an authorization code to give her to finalize setup on her account (she only received a welcome email from Google).
All of my transactions remain visible only on my phone; all of hers stay locked inside her Wallet app. But we both see the combined real-time outstanding balance, credit limit remaining, due date, and payment amounts.
And Google said on a splash screen that our cards and transactions are now accessible from Google Payments on a PC, though I haven't personally checked that out yet (previously, there was a firewall between the PC and the phone -- a gripe of mine that was the subject of an earlier thread). (Edit: Confirmed that the Citi card magically appeared as a valid payment option in my Google Checkout account, but none of the transaction history from the Nexus carried over -- not yet, anyway.)
Anyway, a bunch of pleasant surprises for me today -- I'll be disappointed if this is all old news.
