I agree with your interpretation of the words, but unfortunately, not correct.  
I have always had two credit cards (one visa, one mastercard) in google, which 
I have used numerous times before.  These are the same cards that I use 
elsewhere, for automatic recurring charges as well as in person for daily 
purchases.  My cards are still good everywhere else.  Google is the only place 
having a problem.

I cannot eliminate the possibility that both Visa and Mastercard identified 
google as a hotspot for credit fraud and therefore they both blocked google.  
But I have no reason to believe such a thing.

Whenever my banks suspect anything suspicious, they reject the transaction, and 
they call me for verification.  That has happened several times before - but 
didn't happen with this google situation.
