I don't think this is a big feature, or anything more than a convienience for already active google wallet users that want to be able to use a physical card at retailers that don't support NFC transactions. It's mentioned no where on the google wallet site [1] and doesn't seem to have any tech other than a mag stripe. Also the card is issued by Bancorp, the same bank that backs Simple. [2]

That's only true if you ignore the main (Overview) page [1], the Shop in Stores page [2], and the Stay Safe [3] page.
