Is Visa Mobile a good idea or just another gimmick? Visa is testing this in the US.?
Visa mobile is a new service just for chase Visa Credit and Debit card holders. Visa is currently testing this on T-mobiles Googe smartphone. You can view your Visa card balance all the time on the phone. You also get offers dlelivered to your phone from several merchants.
Here is an article explaining the service.

I would not be interested in a service like this. Its too big brotherish for me. If you loose your phone someone can pick up your cell phone cand get all of your account information.
Would people really be interested in a service like this?
This is just a way of big brother to watch you. Visa is looking for more ways to make money.

Maybe. If they’re an investor or a Ebay trader ha. They’d just have to keep good care of their phone.
