A friend brought me a Nexus 7 brand new, sealed in the box, from Canada to Brazil. After setting up mu device and my account I can see I just don't have that US$ 25,00 credit for the play store. I lost it just because my account isn't canadian? :crying:
If you at live in Brazil, you won't get your content. You might not have full features like magazines, books, and movies also because they don't have licensing there.

I know... I just wanted the credit to buy more apps.
I want this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLmFyZ29zeS52YmFuZHJvaWQiXQ.. and the credit would buy it for me.
Damn!

I'm Brazilian too. I could use the $ 25 bonus with the following steps:
Unlock/root your device;
Follow this step -by-step http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29540126&postcount=56
When you enter your google account, it will ask the information of your credit card.
Enter your name and number of the card properly.
Place a zip code and U.S. phone.
Search for fake US address to find some sites about it.
Make any purchase in order to ensure that the bonus is activated. Buy some $ 1 app;
Once activated bonus in your account, go to http://www.google.com/wallet/ and change the address of your credit card to the correct address.
In my case, the wallet showed two credit cards: the correct one, that had there through my old smartphone, and the new one, but with the U.S. address
You can uninstall orbot later, if desired.
Your bonus will remain in your account balance, even exchanging credit card, brazilian address etc.
You don't need to root or unlock the device. Setup a free VPN. Login with another Google account if you do not want to factory reset. Maintain the US address and zip cod but you can use your country's credit card. I got my credit in Malaysia.

plz find the Thread "Guide for receiving 25$ credit from non US countries" if you face the problem like me
I have done that and I got all the free goodies along with $25 play store credit. I used VPN the first time I connect even before entering Google account details. I have a dedicated router for the VPN connection and I used that router to connect first time and I got everything. I already had the wallet account and my credit card info was already present there. I have bought apps using free credit and it works fine.

Could you share it with the rest of us. I still have the same problem as you. Don't want to factory reset or pay for a VPN.

Search the Thread "Guide for receiving 25$ credit from non US countries" in the Q&A section.
For the factory reset, you can use titanium backup to restore all your apparent and setting.
For the Vpn, It is free. you just need to consider that there is a risk to type your credit card information via VPN.
Hope it can help you to get $25 credit

I use Tor (guide here) to sign up. I have a Google Wallet account already with my credit card details in. I just changed the address to a US address and all good
If I sign in with a different gmail account on a new nexus 7, will it give that account the $25 too. But then I want to put back on my other gmail. Will that be a problem, or will I get another $25 credit?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I just set up my replacement tablet. I did not receive an additional credit. However, you can still get the $10 Google Wallet App credit.

Yes, if your initial sign in is under a different account than you used before you will get another $25.

You can't move credit from 1 account to another. Also you can't get an additional $25 credit on the same account. You would need to use a different account.

Did you login in your replacement device with the same account as in your previous device or a different account ??
Yes I returned my N7 as the speaker was distorted and got a replacement, I setup using my wife's gmail and got another £15 credit. I don't think you can get two credit from the same account.
Hallo,
I'm sorry if this had been asked allready, but i can't find out how ho search only the nexus 7 forum with the xda app.
I just got my nexus. A friend bought it for me in the Google store online while she was with family in the usa. The box was completly sealed. When i signed in, there was another gmail adress mentioned. I thought that was weired, but figured it probably was a Google employee. But now i see that i don't have the store credit and i'm afraid that someone else ook it from me. Or is that offer not available anymore? She ordered it last friday, august 10.

When the N7 is ordered online, you're asked to provide a Google account and it's associated with that account somehow. The $25 store credit winds up getting given to that account.
Since you had a friend purchase it on your behalf, I would expect that your friend inadvertently received the $25 credit.
Aah i see. Well her aunt payed tot it. Do she probably has the credit then. I'll see if i can fix it. I don't think she uses an android device actually, do she can't do anything with the money.
Thanks for the answer.

Alright since i do not have a credit card, and my maestro doesnt work for online payments,
i supose i dont have any solution left to get myself apps at all.
google doesnt let ppl in sweden to use prepaid google play giftcards, nor prepaid visa/mastercards such as spendon cuz on that last one your name have to be the same on the card as on your account. furthermore, since i live in sweden, paypal does not apply to me either since they only issue a card in the USA. so now what? is there any oher solution that can be done?

You know that was a really constructive reply man.. really..
If you have a phone that is linked to the same Google account as your tablet, purchase the app on your phone through whichever payment you usually use. After it's purchased, you can then download and install the purchased app on any device linked to your Google account. Alternately, go to the Play Store through your regular browser, and purchase through there.. push to your device, and you're good to go.

Are there any pre-payment cards available in your country you could use online in the same manner as a credit card?
EDIT refer to this thread on the same theme [add the three w`s to the address]
thelocal.se/discuss/index.php?showtopic=27636
My suggestion is get a credit card but request a limit.. When first got my credit card I had 5k limit, I told them make it 500. This helps control your spending

If Google is rejecting your prepaid card because the name doesn't match, maybe you should solve that problem instead? Are you sure a regular card wouldn't have the same restriction?

As I got a n7 2012, I should get 25$ play store currency as gift when adding a valid payment method to my Google account. Today I used an 15$(€) gift card on it, but I didn't get the additional 25.
Are gift cards not a valid payment method to unlock them? Do I need to add a credit card to the Google wallet account first? Or didn't I receive the money because I bought the tablet not at the play store?
Thanks for your help, opreptetr

Hi, opreptetr...
I'm not 100% sure, because I didn't get my Nexus 7 until November 2012, but I think that 25$ freebie, was a time limited offer, that expired nearly a year ago...
