This is great; I really do love Wallet and wish more places supported NFC payments. It's great to have this for the ones that only have magstripes, as I can now effectively carry one card and my phone wherever I go.

How is this different from using NFC and tying your Wallet with your VISA card?

I see no tangible benefits here to the end user.

For the vast majority of stores that don't support NFC.

So carry your VISA card along with your phone then. Again, I don't see any benefit to me.
