Paid apps on new Gmail account

I've searched a few times and can't really find much on this, but I'm about to root my G1 (the T-Mobile version) and that means fully wiping it. I've got a few apps including open home and SNesoid on there that are paid for and linked to a gmail account I'm wanting to get rid of. When I reinstall everything on the phone I want to use a fresh gmail account with a new user name but I'm not sure how I would get those paid apps transferred to that account. Anyone know of a way to do this?

Well there is no way you can get them from the market back because thats all linked to your account and with a new account you would have to buy them again. Make backups of all your apk's and for the protected ones pull them using adb.

If I am correct, all you have to do is "relink your market account to your "credit card" info and it should be there. :]

OK perfect. I will probably do both just to be safe. Thanks a lot.

There seems to be a method detailed in the thread here:

Technically the credit card is on your google checkout account, not your gmail account. And as long as you've paid for an app (and not refunded it) you should be able to get updates for it on that google account as long as the developer provides them.

ok thanks for that but would i still get the app updates if i cancel my google checkout account?

It's likely that when you attempt to redownload an app you had previously purchased but uninstalled that the market backend parses your google checkout account for a record of having purchased an app. Since there's no way currently to remove checkout from a Google account, there's probably no way you could get into a situation where your checkout history became unaccessible for the market backend.
Of course until someone has any actual experience in this matter, all I wrote above is just an educated guess.

I just flashed a new ROM and configurated it with my Google Apps Account.
Then I went to Market and searched for a app I had bought with my normal Google Account which is connected to Checkout.
Market asked me for a gmail Account because the Apps account does not work for buying at the Market and I entered the GMail account informations and still had to buy the app I still have bought before?!
How can I tell Market to show me the apps I still have bought? And yes, I bought it with the same credit card, I did not make any change at checkout

I would contact the developer of said app and explain the situation and provide your info and see if he will honor it. I don't see where a dev would have a problem sending you an apk providing you proved that you purchased it.

Thanx @all

Setup Google Play outside USA

So in a week or so my tablet will arrive in The Netherlands and I want to make sure I will receive my $25 credit and the free content. So I already have my Google Wallet linked to my credit card and my billing & shipping address are set to USA by default.
Do you think I will still need to connect to VPN first to a server in USA before signing in to my Google account?

Edit: Nevermind, I found the guide for getting the $25!

In case it helps, I know someone in the UK got the free credit without having to take all those steps, just by ensuring registration, doing a test purchase eg of a free ebook to make sure their credit card details were recognised (apparently the system is very fussy if the details registered are even slightly different from what's on the credit card), and making sure they did all that BEFORE putting their Google Account details in the new Nexus 7.

Strange. I've used the same credit card for months, purchasing several apps and games. Still, I didn't get the $25 credit. I'm going to try the VPN method.

No freebies from Google outside countries selling N7?

I just got ma N7 from US and i live in Poland. When i was buying it i used my google account and checked to connect it with my account to get the 25$ , but my friend's credit card. When i turned on device there was my gmail already so i typed my password.
I didn't get any confirmation about getting 25$ credit, i did all methodes found on forum and it didn't help. Google Movie is not avaliable in my county so it looks like i won't get the movie/book niether?

Factory Restore to get free credit twice?

Remember reading if you do a factory reset or something you can get the free credit twice on two different accounts. True? If so how?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

I highly doubt it, and activating a second nexus on an account does not get you the credit a second time either.

Loop hole was fixed.

It's been fixed to limit to one $25 credit per CSSN in addition to one Google account if you own multiple units.

I bought an open box from Staples today. Was happy they had in stock and didn't know how to check if the credit had been used or not. I've tried a factory reset and I'm using my Gplay account that is linked to my phone so I know my account is active. I completed the CC form and have not received an email and when I try to buy an apps I continue to get the "add a card to get $25 credit" message even if I have the same card now listed 2x. Any idea how I can still avail of the credit? Is there a way to reach Google?

when i got my first unit, we used it to activate a bunch of accounts and we all got the 25 credit (reset, rinse, repeat)
only that they was limited to 1 was the 10 dollar from google wallet
they fixed the glitch now

There was a thread on this. The suggestion was to remove all credit cards from your Google Play account then perform a factory reset. You should see the offer when you sign in then should immediately get an Gmail notification regarding the credit. If you don't then the credit has already been claimed by that CSSN in Google's database. Try contacting Google to reset it on their end or take it back for a new sealed unit.

Google Play Credit went to wrong google account?

Hi,
I did a search and didn't find anything matching this query so please forgive me if I missed anything. I got my Nexus 7 yesterday and was trying to set it up. I wanted to set up a new username for my google account and link my youtube account to it. I did all this on the nexus and at the same point during set up I entered a credit card number to get my play voucher.
Now somehow in all my messing about with account names trying to link up my youtube and prefered email as my "google account" the £15 voucher for the play store got applied to the wrong account. I want to delete that one and just have my main one now but if I do that will I loose my google voucher or will I be able to get it on my main account?
I could just used the voucher on that account to buy the apps I want and the delete the account but how would that work if I ever needed to redownload those apps again, would I need access to that account to do so?
If anyone knows of a way I can transfer my google play credit to my other account that would be brilliant!
Thank you in advance.
Update: I tried deleting the old account and then resetting my Nexus and entering all my details from scratch but it says the voucher has already been claimed except now it is on an account that no longer exists. I think my best bet now is to email google and ask them to fix it. Does anyone know of a contact point?
