Many of the major retailers that were expected to roll out Google’s mobile payments service have gone live today, with an additional benefit for early adopters: Steep discounts. The Google Wallet is now available at American Eagle Outfitters, the Container Store, Foot Locker, Guess, Jamba Juice, Macy’s, OfficeMax and Toys“R”Us, according to a Google blog post. As part of the launch, some of the stores are offering 10 to 15 percent off purchases.
