Google Wallet introduces SingleTap for coupon redemption

Google has modified its mobile payments service, which allows users to pay for their purchases, redeem coupons and earn reward points through a single tap of their handsets at the store check-out.

The SingleTap feature automatically redeems coupons at the point of sale through the same tap of the handset used to make the payment.

The new feature is being introduced at partner merchants American Eagle Outfitters, The Container Store, Foot Locker, Guess, Jamba Juice, Macy's, OfficeMax and Toys"R"Us.

Meanwhile, Foot Locker, Guess, OfficeMax and American Eagle Outfitters have all introduced loyalty cards for Google Wallet so users can rack up reward points automatically as they shop.

Google has also posted a promotional video demonstrating Google Wallet to members of the public. Watch it here.
