Google Wallet (Google Prepaid Card) and Play Store

I am trying to use up my $10 play store credit via my original Google Prepaid Card before the October 17th deadline (so I don't have to wait for a check for the balance).

When I go to Play to make a purchase I only see options to use credit cards - even though I have a $10 credit in my google wallet under. I do see options to "add card" (for new credit cards) or "redeem" (for new Gift Card Codes). But none of these will allow me to access the Prepaid card with the $10 balance.

I have NFC turned on. I am using Play via my phone. I have checked wallet and the Prepaid card is the selected card.

Is there something I am doing wrong? Or is this just not possible?

Thanks!
