I thought Google wallet generated a unique card id for every transaction.
This is a interesting bug, but I think fairly niche. Not many people use app pinning at all.
I didn’t even realize “app pinning” was a thing.

Turn off NFC unless you are using it at that moment.
great
The loophole seems to be having an app pinned to the screen (I’ve never done this, but it presumably keeps the phone from locking) while requiring you to have an unlocked phone to use NFC payments. This doesn’t seem to be a common scenario (I can imagine doing this in some sort of kiosk mode, or giving the phone to a kid and locking the app so he can’t wander around).
This is why Samsung pay is king, the NFC only turns on when you’re using Samsung pay otherwise it stays off
