Gmail Rail: Google Wallet Can Now Import Train Tickets

https://ift.tt/6SEM9gy

Gmail has a new feature -- one that will allow users to add train tickets to the Android app. 

Google Wallet will import a person’s ticket from their Gmail account and they will see it as soon as the confirmation email arrives, Android Authority reports.  

The tickets will appear next to stored passes and loyalty cards. And live updates about the trains will also be stored in the app, Android Authority adds.

What this means for marketers is unclear. Presumably, it will make notification and reminder emails just a little less important. 

However, it certainly is a boost for Google Wallet, which already allows users to store passports and state IDs. And it may make boarding trains easier.  

Google advises consumers: “You can now manage your payment methods & passes, update Wallet & Google Pay settings, and view recent transactions, all in one place.”

It adds: “Skip typing your payment info when you check out online, protect your card with Google’s industry-leading security, and use tap to pay in stores with your Android device.” 

Meanwhile, Google Wallet is being offered in 10 additional countries: Bermuda, Cambodia, El Salvador, Guernsey, Kosovo, Morocco, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay and Tajikistan. And the website is now available in 43 countries.
