$10 credit in Google Wallet?

Just curious if the 7 gets the $10 wallet credit other devices get as well.

The N7 gets $25 in credit upon activation.

Yes. I got it although it took a while to activate the prepaid card through Google. Eventually it worked though.

But that's only if you never had a Google wallet account previously ..

Actually...I signed into google wallet on my N7 (with the same Google credentials) and have a balance of $10 whereas my gnex has the balance from the 50 that I added of 32.XX. It appears to be two independent google wallet prepaid cards.

It's device specific, your Google account is only there for account protection. I have gotten the $10 credit on a Nexus S, VZW GNex, and a GSM Gnex

Yeah, that's kind of what I noticed too. Already had Wallet on my GS3 and the $10 prepaid card on that. Activated Wallet on my Nexus 7 just now and it appears to have it's own $10 prepaid card too. One odd thing did happen to me though: activating Wallet on my Nexus 7 appears to have deactivated my Citi card from my Wallet account on my GS3. Anyone else with similar experience?

i just have a quick question does the google wallet work even if you are not connected to wifi?

Yeah it does! Or it wouldn't be very useful would it

The google wallet app... it should be in your app drawer. When I launched it, it told me I could get the credit by signing up.

Huh, I had it in the US version. Maybe try to download it from the Play Store?

That was taking away last month. Google sent emails to everyone that had activated their Google wallet warning them.

Buy Nexus 4 with Google play store credit?

I was thinking a good way for me to save up for an N4 was to every week buy a $50 Google play card at Walmart and add it to my Google account. Then in seven weeks I should have enough on my account to buy it. Good idea, yeah?
I'm thinking the only bad thing would be if I had to pay tax on the cards.
Can you buy a Nexus 4 with Google store credit? Does it offer that option when you pay?
Thanks.

No store credit.

Google Play gift cards cannot currently be used to purchase devices

Thanks. I'm sure they'll make it possible one day.

Paypal

Can you purchase from Google with PayPal credit? Really want to get the nexus protection along with the phone.

I'm pretty sure you can.
Why not just go and try to add it as a payment option.
If not, get the PayPal Master Debit and use that. That's how I use PayPal on Google stores.

You can't - I tried. I have a PayPal master debit card for my PayPal account that I use for eBay and what not, and a separate account for PayPal credit. There's no option to be sent a credit card for PayPal credit, but there is for the regular debit account.
I quite enjoy the financing options with Paypal credit, but it wasn't an option. You can only check out with a credit/debit card.

I have a PayPal Extras MasterCard and I have it in my Google Wallet.

You can't use paypal as a payment of a phone/tablet/accessory in the Google Store, only apps on your phone

Don't understand why they set it up that way. So silly.

Thank you all for your response!

I had this issue and called Paypal. They sent me a business debit. No you dont need a business and its connected to my regular bank debit card if I dont have a balance

Because if you pay via paypal then google has to stick to paypal's rules, meaning everybody can open a case 6 months from now and ask to return the device for full refund. While Google has 14 days return policy if you want full refund.
