Hi guys i bought the device activated it and got the 25$ and free magazones etc.
Now i read there is additional 10$ available in the wallet app. go i opened the app and activated wallet.
But i dint have a credit card in my wallet account. I didnt get the 10$ credit . Is there a way i can get it now.??
Activate a google prepaid card and it should give u the $10...however u can only use that money for Wallet purchases, not for apps and u can't transfer it to ur own bank account or anything

Alright so someone told me in order to get the $25 credit you have to put a credit card on your google account when you sign into the nexus 7. Is this true? Or do you just get the credit without needing a credit card?

I signed in with my gmail account and was instantly sent an email with the $25 credit. However, I had at least 2 credits on file with google from my other tablet purchases. So during the N7 setup, no I didn't have to enter credit card number if that's what your asking.
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.
Blighty my nexus in the.UK but took it straight to Sweden, now coming back to UK for 1st time since buying it and trying to activate the free $25 doesn't seem to be working- have tried removing my gmail account from device and re-applying but no joy. Should you get an email about the $ or do you just see it when you use Play?
My Google wallet seems active when I sign in?
You get the £15 when u first add a gmail account to it, (unless its stopped??????)
Try and buy a app and see if it gives you the option to pay by free credit, oh I had to put my card on the play store to get my credit..
Also free Google wallet credit is different from play store credit so which you actually talking about....

Hi,
I'm 18, and I'm looking to purchase the Nexus 4, but I do not have a credit card. I don't want to ask my parents for their credit card so I was wondering whether or not I can purchase the phone using the Play Store gift cards?
-Thanks
Hey why don't you use a prepaid visa or MasterCard.If you wondering how a prepaid credit card work and how to get one you can pm me and I will tell you what you need to do. Take care!!!

lol go buy $350 worth of Google credit!! Never heard of anyone doing that before!
From the google play gift card site:
"*Google Play gift cards cannot be redeemed for Android app subscriptions, magazine subscriptions, or hardware and accessory purchases. Refer to the Google Play Gift Card Terms and Conditions for more details. Content subject to availability by country."
You could go the prepaid visa or master-card route.
Better advice is for you to go to a bank or credit union and open a savings and a checking account. Get a debit card off your checking account and you can buy the phone with that. Look into a secured credit card as a possible way to build credit, at 18 you most likely have no credit history.
^ Yeah, Checkings and Savings accounts can be setup quickly. I opened up an account at Wells Fargo in 15-20 minutes with an employee and having a debit card is really nice for Amazon, Paypal, Google Play, and other online services. I'm 19.
Just give your parents cash and use their card. Or open a bank account.

Buy a green dot card at walmart. Most banks also offer something similar, a prepaid debit card to be used as a universal gift card. You could give your parents the money and have them buy the card from their bank for you. Or just set up a bank account, they're damn near necessary now days.

Are you guys sure it'll work with a prepaid credit card? Aren't they considered a "virtual credit card" as well?
Google said:
A Virtual Credit Card (VCC) cannot be used with your purchase in the device store. Also, at this time, the country of your credit card must match the the country to which you're shipping.

Thanks for the replies, I'll stop by Wells Fargo or CitiBank today.
Didn't see that bit. I'm going to guess that no they are not considered virtual credit cards. One of my banks does the virtual credit card, the way it works is if your about to make a purchase from a merchant you don't trust you can generate a one time use credit card number that only allows the amount you specify. They typically expire in 24hrs.

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?

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
