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.

Is there any way that I can buy my nexus 7 via PayPal? I can't seem to using the play link that is linked by Google.

I think you'd have to transfer your money to google wallet in order to purchase this. Good luck.

Well for me, i just linked my debit card to google wallet. So I'm guessing in your case, withdraw money from Paypal and put it into your bank, connect your debit card to google wallet and pay for it.

I am looking for places that accept paypal also. Staples and Gamestop unfortunately, do not accept it. I'm hoping within a few days of release other online retailers will carry the nexus 7.
A lot of sellers on eBay are taking pre-orders.
In the UK ebuyer.com accepts payments by PayPal and have the Nexus7 for pre-order
I just use PayPal's Debit Mastercard, but I'm not entirely sure if that's available outside of the US
paypal
i just used paypal @ www adorama com to purchase the 16G model.
Hi,
A general question for anyone who's bought a "used" Nexus 7...when you set up your google account did you get your $25 Play Store credit? I bought my N7 off of e-bay (in perfect condition!) ..didn't get the movie or book which doesn't bug me but it doesn't look like I got the Play Store credit...just checking to see what everyone else's experiences were...
Thanks

I bought a brand new n7 from the play store and activated it with my Google account to get the $25 credit and the movie then I did a factory reset on my n7 and reactivated it with my brothers account so he could get the goodies. It should work for u. Did u do a factory reset?
Nice! I just bought mine off amazon. Let's see how it goes.!

If the original owner got the credit, do you feel you should get the credit also? Do you think Google should pay $25 every time a Nexus 7 changes hands?

They fixed that bug. You only get the stuff once per device for the first activation.

Hey all,
Just got an email from HTC. They apologized for the shipment delay, thanked me for the purchase, and included a $25 redeemable code for the Google play market.
I preordered the Att HTC One and developers edition. So I'm not sure which this email referred to.

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...
See...

Just thought I'd let you guys know. I went to Best Buy yesterday and saw it for cheap.
You get a 32GB Nexus 7 2013 and 25$ play store credit for $239
Seems like a good deal. Go scoop if you haven't already
P.S. I was surprised this was cheaper than Walmart! haha
Before or after tax? Hell of a good deal
That is a good deal! I got a good one too, 16GB for $199 (price match at BB)
It was like $269 after sales tax for me (CA). Plus I bought the Best Buy 1 year warranty for $50. Total came out to $312 and some change. I must say not a bad deal at all. I saw this for sale last night also and figured I would jump on it since it's about $30-40 cheaper than the Google Play Store.

They send you a code in your email. I actually returned the device because the screen was yellow.... But they let me KEEP the play store credit!
FYI, I disagree with the idea of having to show your ID for a return. This is an invasion of privacy. Im surprised they haven't been sued to the dirt.

Best Buy sends the code or Google? Sorry about all the questions but I'm standing at Best Buy right now, lol. I'm still fairly uncertain about the purchase because my first one had glue all over the back and horribly loud static.

Best buy sends the code. they ask for an email, you redeem it in the play store
I know what you mean. Its a hit or miss sometimes.
I would get it, and If its messed up, return it. You walk out with a $25 freebie

Awesome. Thank you for the quick replies. Nobody seems to know anything about the $25 credit but that was just a perk to the whole deal. Now I just have to see how the tablet itself works out.

I got the credit but the "tablet deparment specialist" had no idea about it. They even gave a free book, 6 months unlimited cloud storage for 3 devices, and a year of free antivirus. I'd call this trip a success, lol. Btw, that antivirus rang up $109.99 originally but everything dropped to $0.00 for some random promo that wasn't mentioned. Haha
