Quick question -- I've preordered a Nexus 7 16gb and i wanted to use the $25 to grab some tablet apps on my Nook while i wait for it. Only issue is, the credit isn't showing up in my payment options...
Do you get the credit upon ordering, or is that when you activate it?
it looks like you get the credit once the new device is activated. at least, that's how it looked from the google videos.

We get Transfomers: Dark of the Moon, The Bourne Dominon (book), and a couple magazines. Plus the $25 credit, of course.
Question
Is everybody who buys this tablet now or in the store getting 25$ giftcard and films or just the one who are pre-ordering it in Google Play Store?

It says for a limited time, so I assume just those who are pre-ordering. Or the first round of pre-orders, who knows.
I do think it is good the credit/movies and all that will just come on the device. Easiest way to do it.
Strategy
In their developer conference they said that it is new strategy to customers buy more products in Google Play, but he did not say if all tablets have that 25$ gift
provided all pre-ordered devices will get $25 gift.what happens if the device is activated outside US,UK, and Australia? will there still be $25 gift in the form of other currency? thanks

When I ordered mine (Canada), it did showed credit being applicable. Anyways, with the amount of taxes we pay - I guess Google hand out pro-rated credits
Does the credit apply to the play store as a whole, meaning can this credit be applied toward the case or other accessories?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the free credit will show up once your card has been placed and the order shipped and it probably applies to apps or media. The free book, movie and magazines will probably only be accessible if you log into google play from the US or Canada, The UK or Australia the only places where legit pre-orders are available right now.
If you pre-order one and you log in for the first time outside of those countries, you will not be able to access that part of the play store and download the free media. I may be wrong and it all comes pre-loaded but I have a feeling otherwise, I guess we will have to wait and see.
Okay, so the free credit (£15 per device - from the UK); I've ordered 2 tablets together - to save on postage. One for my wife and one for someone else, I ordered it while logged into my google account and unticked the option that said to register the devices to me (as obviously my wife and friend have their own google accounts).
So how will it know to assign the credit to them, is this built into the tablet rather than via the store? Sorry I'm a bit confused and don't want to lose out on the £30 total credit.

Perhaps a card is given in the packaging with a number similar to a credit card number and when you go to input a credit card you type in this number so you can pay with it like that; and then perhaps you can choose between using a credit card or using the gift card.
Credit is given when the actual device is activated.
Credit goes to the Google account used for that activation.
So i just returned my TF201 to best buy (so many issues )
and theyve stuck me with a 500$ best buy gift card and im looking to buy the N7 tablet and best buy doesnt have it yet:good:
So now im wondering what is my best option, wait it out for best buy to possibly never get the n7 in the US, or sell the gift card on ebay for a slightly lower price and buy the n7 from google, or some other option i dont even know about.
please and thanks for the help.
Why did BB stick you with a gift card? Were you past 30 days?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
You could try calling their corporate customer service number and see if they plan to get it. I wouldn't sell the card on eBay. Not only would you lose money on reducing the price, but their fees have gotten stupid (just sold a phone for $150 and was charged a $15 fee). Maybe try Craigslist. Then you at least get cash in hand. If you lived in MN I would buy your card. I shop at Best Buy often anyway. LOL
Anyway...that's my advice.

More secure than cash? I mean you would meet them in public for sure...probably at a BB store so they can verify the amount on the card.

My friend and I ran through selling gift cards we acquired for various reasons, and nothing beats http://www.cardpool.com/ in terms of cash return. According to their website, they'll pay you $440 for a $500 gift card.

Can you afford to hold onto the gift card? Your best bet is to buy the nexus and hold onto the card for future use. I don't think they expire.
Well in Canada, our Best Buys have models on display but none in stock, so I'm sure they'll have it just later.
Why don't you buy $500 worth of Amazon Gift card? I am sure Amazon will sell the N7 soon.

Okay so I want to buy this phone, but I can't get it off Google Play because they don't accept Canadian Visa's.
I want to get it off Handtec for 293.99 Pounds, which is 464ish CAD.
This is coming from the UK, using FedEx 1-4 days.
Now what hidden costs should I look out for? Is there going to be some Custom's Fee when I get my product? Or do I sign and go?

Google Play does accept Canadian Visa's. Not sure where you're getting that from. Just order from Google otherwise be prepared to pay provincial and federal tax, and duty fees on top of the $460-ish cost.
My MasterCard is on Google wallet aka play... Sooo not sure what the issue is...

I wouldn't even dare touch that.
Google Wallet is not ready, it's just not. I don't want $400 stuck online. A lot of people had this Visa issue.

You'll get charged, don't worry. I thought it was a glitch or something too when I bought mine, but depending on what type of card you used to buy your device, the lag between when you purchase it and when the money is withdrawn could be many days later (mine was on day 6). I don't know why, I just know that has been happening.

I ordered on debit card on the 10th and got a "pending transaction" hold on funds on the 14th, that's the same day I received the phone. Then the next day the authorization totally disappeared from my debit card, the money on hold was released, and I haven't been charged yet. Free phone? I doubt it, but most pending authorizations are actually deducted within 24-48 hours. How long do they have to get their money? Hell, it's been 10 days.....

I know I have said it before but I have to say it again - no wonder Motorola loses so much money. You can't run a business like this. Now that they have unfrozen the funds, they run the risk you will spend the available money in the account. Not everyone does a good job balancing their checking account.
They would have recourse against you if there weren't sufficient funds at the time they get around to trying to debiting them, but it would be costly trying to bill you and then turn you over to collections if you didn't pay.
I have never seen such a poorly run business like this before!

Yea, I get what your saying. I was on slickdeals and saw that everyone was getting charged within 48 hours of ordering and thought that I may have gotten lucky and payment fell through the cracks. Until I asked on the forum and someone referred me to this thread. Seems that this is not a one off unique situation.
I have no false hope that the charge won't go through in the near future and that I'll get a free phone (I wouldn't complain though). However, just for sake of argument. How long does a company have to retrieve their money off of a debit card after you order something? I wouldn't think that they could just wait a year to deduct funds. I wonder how long a person would have to wait in the event that they wanted to close their checking account or change banks? There has to be some kind of time limit.......

I am sure there is no one-size-fits-all answer because I am sure the account agreement you agreed to when you activated your debit card varies from bank to bank and includes a choice of law provision in it. And there are federal laws that govern electronic funds transfers, too.
The best and probably only way to get the answer to that question without paying a lawyer to research your particular case is to call your bank and ask them.
But even if your bank refuses to process the debit after a certain period of time, Motorola would not be without recourse against you. They can have the IMEI of your device blacklisted and they can bill you for the phone even after they blacklist the IMEI. If you don't pay the bill, they can sell the debt to a collection agency and the collection agency can get a judgment against you and levy on your account. If you do pay the bill, they can unblacklist your device.
Now there are statute of limitations on debt collection (varies by state), but those are usually long, like on the order of 3-6 years, some states even 10 years!
SOLs for Debt Collection
I know in your mind you paid your debt for the phone when you authorized the debit card transaction, but until it is actually processed, you are in debt to Motorola for the price phone. And you can't just assume that you have no responsibility to keep the funds available for the debit. As I stated a couple of times now, you need to call Motorola and discuss this with them.
Now this is just crazy we are even discussing this because it is just crazy for Motorola to conduct business like this.
This happened to me when I bought 2 PS4's from Walmart.com I received the 2 consoles and didn't get charged at all. 2 weeks passed by and all my money was still in the bank. I think it was on the 16th day when they took the funds out. I was pretty confused, never bothered to ask why though.

They can blacklist AND still try to collect on the debt. Just like if you cancel your line before your contract is up - the wireless carriers can blacklist your device AND try to collect the ETF.

Also do I get the gift card in the mail? I'm assuming because my CC information is stored and it will be sent to my house.

This information is available inn the apps promotion and via the Samsung pay website. However, I can tell you how it worked for me. There was no minimum limit to the purchase and as soon as Samsung pay was used (I bought a Jimmy John's), a popup in the app let's you know that the gift card is available. You then get to choose which card you want and select it. You then get the option to add it to your Samsung Pay app. I already spent the Samsung gift card I chose and it worked like a charm. But you really should check the website for further info and card eligibility.
Oh, and make sure you have the latest update of Samsung Pay on your phone before you make a purchase so the promotion will be pre-loaded. You can see if it is there checking the "events" part of the app.
You'll get the gift card right away added to the Samsung pay app used mine immediately on ebay

Pretty much anywhere that has a magnetic strip reader or a tap to pay terminal. The kind that you swipe the card yourself. I'm not sure about gas pumps though. That's one of the things that makes Samsung Pay better than Android Pay or Apple Pay (in my opinion). MST tech means there doesn't need to be a NFC terminal involved.
