Hey everyone
Got my Nexus 7 yesterday, bought a few things from the market with my $25 credit. I have a $21 remaining balance. Today I rooted my device and went to purchase eWeather HD app using the credit but I get an error "Your order cannot be processed. Please try again."
Does the credit not work when rooted? Or is this just a crazy coincidence and I should try again later? Any rooted users confirm their credit is/isn't working for them?
I spent all of my credit while rooted. Dead Trigger, FF3, Light flow and some other stuff no issue

As in the topic ? I don't want to pay for the delivery if I can snatch it from the shop next doors

yes, it is applied once you sign into your google account
Bought mine Saturday from a Sam's Club - the $25 appeared within minutes of logging in from it.
I want to buy the 16gb model but Google won't let me order online so I was thinking about buying it from a local retailer. Will I still get the $25 credit if I buy it from GameStop or Walmart?

Yep, i bought mine at local Gamestop recently and upon adding your Gmail account when configuring it for first-time use, Google will add $25 to your G Play account.
In canada futureshop and bestbuy has this msg:
Includes $25 of credit to the Google Play store, for a limited time only!*
when I click on it ,it says:
For a limited time, buy the Google Nexus 7 and it comes included with a $25 credit to spend in the Play store, as well as some great free content like your own copy of Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
*Offer valid while supplies last. Play Store credit comes on pack. No rainchecks.
The part play store credit comes on pack. Hmm. I can purchase a nexus 7 at a local (not future shop/best buy) store right now, but it didn't have anything on the pack. Does anyone know if for Canada it needs this on the pack or will I be eligible for the 25 credit regardless?
Bought mine at Staples (10% employee discount, sweet!) and can confirm that I got the $25 credit. :good:
Yep. Got mine from JB HiFi and got the $25. I didn't expect it so it was a nice bonus
I am getting a replacement Nexus 7 as my first one was defective. If I use a different google account on the replacement does that mean I will get another $25/£15 to use

Yep.
So I can use both accounts (even if its not my primary account) to make purchases on a single device?

I've got a personal and a work account on my phone and can use either to purchase apps.
Just curious: are non-play store buyers also getting the $10 google wallet credit? If you don't know what I'm talking about, add a prepaid card in wallet and see what happens.
I just got my Nexus 7 and I have problem with getting $25 for Google Play outside the USA. When I'm entering the credit card number it shows:
“The credit card you have entered does not qualify for this promotion.”
I tried 3x Visa and 1x MasterCard. Am I doing something wrong or maybe it's somehow fixed already?
I got mine yesterday, and once turned on and signed in I had my £15 (UK based)

That's great, but what could I do wrong? Btw. It shows me £15 too.
are you using a US address when registering the credit card?
Yes, United States with ZIP code 10002 and phone number (202) 9255599.
EDIT/
I did everything one time again and this time it worked, I got the mail and $25.
Got mine today totally forgot to do it in dollars took my £15 lol

Hey guys, since the Nexus 7 is my first "tablet", I'm curious how I can handle things...
So, to get to the point, without a CC, I'm not able to buy stuff on the play store. (Since I don't have one and the Gift cards aren't present, too)
So I'm curious, I have the 3G model, so could I buy apps with carrier billing (like I do it on my phone) or isn't this part of the 3G tablet thingy..?? (I don't have a Sim card for my tablet.. Yet)
Also, there are apps with IAP, for example, a file manager, which contains the "pro" version via the app.. (But is not shown in the play store as a stand alone app)
If I buy it with my phone, am I able to install the "pro" version on my tablet, too?
These things are quite confusing when it comes to tablets...
I hope this wasn't asked before, if so, please guide me to the right direction... Since Google gives me weird hacking sites as results..
Thanks in advance and happy easter!
P.S.: Or can I add my phone number and billing information to my Googleaccount, so the "buy via carrier" will always appear like it does with CC's?

You need a credit card to purchase from the Play Store, no other way around unless someone sends you money to your Wallet account.
You can install purchased apps on other devices if you login to the Gmail account that holds the purchases.

Try a prepaid credit card or a visa gift card! Remember they do charge monthly fees.

I will, since I know now that there's no "normal" way, thanks.
Also saw I posted in General instead of Q&A, I'm sorry and if any mod can move my thread I'd be thankful

whatever you buy on your phone will be available on your tablet (as long as the nexus 7 is supported by the app).
So, if you need to purchase something, buy it on your phone and then download it on your tablet. Simple as that.

I was a bit confused with this IAP, for example the file manager I wanted to buy does this in app purchase. And I thought I have to rebuy it when I download it on my tablet.. Since it's not a stand alone app :/

I use debit credit on Google play, sort of a new debit card that is set up with a visa card # & pin. No credit needed, it just takes money right out of your chequeing account.
Ask your bank about it.
Try coolapk, as a leecher or else use debt card

If game is from gameloft you can buy it on gameloft.com and pay with paypal
Thy started selling Google play gift cards.
Other than that, prepaid visa is the best thing, its also useful for amazon, PayPal... I got mine for free (I'm from Slovenia), no fees whatsoever, except if I wanted to withdraw money from the cash machine. It was a promotional offer, so look out for those.
Be aware of those 'prepaid visa gift cards', they cost way more then they should. For every purchase they could charge you a dollar or something, which is a lot when you're buying a 75c app.
Or you can ask your parents or some other relative to lend you their cc. I borrowed my dads until I got my own prepaid visa.
Oh, why would you buy a file manager, you can get so many of good ones for free like ES for example.

Couldn't you just buy a Play Gift Card from a local store?
Thats basically a pre-paid credit card anyway?
Or just buy a pre-paid credit card?
AW: [Q] Nexus 7 & App Purchases without credit card..
The G Play gift cards aren't available in my country atm..
I think I'll have to talk to my bank and make them an offer they can't refuse
Thanks to all for the answers
Edit: thanks for moving my thread!

Has anyone had any luck at CVS (or elsewhere) purchasing gift cards or vanilla reloads with ISIS? I've only tried one CVS so far, but they flat out denied me using ISIS to buy any gift cards...they said it was store policy that I would have to use cash.
A lot of ppl seem to be having no problem doing it so I'm guessing it's just strictly local store policy. I fought with the manager stating that it's EXACTLY like cash and that the funds came directly out of my bank account, but they didn't budge. :-\

You mind telling me what area you live in? I'm hoping it was just that specific store. It's such a stupid ass store policy that they will only take cash for ANY gift card.
It's not even the amount that bothered them (I want to buy a $500 reload to get a quick $100 back, then do it again another day to get the max $200). Ugh. I know some Rite Aid stores have paypass but then they'd have to have gift cards too, and not the dumb cash only policy...
Successfully purchased 2 $500 vanilla reloads at CVS (finally). Third time's a charm I guess

Just did the same today at CVS. Walgreens denied me, but because they said they had the terminals turned off because there was too much fraud. Not exactly sure what was going on, but CVS was happy to take my money. And I'm happy to get the $200 cash back.

Awesome also don't forget about the extra $50 you can get for direct depositing $250 twice into your serve acct. This can be easily done with PayPal. Just set up the serve card as a bank within PayPal with the routing and acct# given on the serve website. Another $50 for freeeee.
I went to the VZW store and used it to pay my $250 bill... got 50 back plus 10 for using at the Verizon store.
