As a natural progression to follow on from their recent Google Checkout technology, Could Google … maybe soon … be unveiling the Google Credit Card as seen below in a possible example?

Indeed it maybe early speculation , could it possibly be suggested that it might be something like a cashback card pertaining to merchants who have incorporated the Google Checkout Cart and will be in the order 3% on the first $10K spent in the year, then 2% thereafter, with 1% cashback on all other purchases* And a 2% flat on any Google Adwords expenditure.

Quiz Question: Do you recognise the number sequence in the 2nd credit card sample?

I’ve got mine, have you got yours yet?

Conspiracy Theory or Fact or Fiction or Maybe One Day ?

Is our colossal big brother enroute to possibly creating an Orwellian Style Society?

George Orwell was brilliant in highlighting the importance of privacy to everyone in his novels, who had the ability in foreseeing the potential clash between technology & privacy or is it simply that a big brother is born out of big business.

    Chuckle!

    I wonder if it’ll come with redeemable gcard points or gmiles? Or a reduction to just $4.75/click when bidding on your own domain names!

    And they could use google maps to tie-in the locations where you spent your money.

    More likely to be fact than fiction I reckon – paypal already do their own credit card.

    What a great piece of fiction you have written so authoritatively.

    A quick perusal could easily skip the various “coulds” you sprinkled so liberally in this post.

    Absolutely correct, one “could” correctly interpret that “could” and “maybe” and even “possibly” were liberally sprinkled & “could” be perceived as somewhat superfluously, however one must “maybe” occasionally partake in the more jovial aspects of life with a smidgen of spleen wobbling FUN.

    Bugger, someone’s already squatting gpoints.com

    With their cpa network on the way, it wouldn’t take much to set themselves up as a cashback affiliate themselves in a nectar/ipoints/mutual/gp style

    My husband had the same thought a couple of days ago…uncanny. I think the cashback on Adwords spend idea would be a certain winner.
