You don't have to reset it
If you try and make a purchase on the play store, it will ask you for your credit card, put it in, and then it will give you your credit. That's what happened to me

Neat trick. I did not know about it.

Plaese give sugestions guys :'(

just had my GT540 robbed. and my developer account and my mums credit card is linked to that phone. how can i phone google to disconect this from my google account.
as they can now get to my vcredit card, my developer account and my faceboot account what can i do. can contact the androind market to push a virus to my phone. because that sound like a plan to me, and i really dont think ill get it back.
For an attempt to get your phone back, as long as your phone had gps/wireless network location on, then this might help. It's called Plan B by Lookout. From what I can gather, You install the app through market.android.com and then it will send an email to your Google Account with the location of your phone.
Hope it helps mate,
and good luck for getting your phone back .

i think you can sign into your googlemail and change the password that will stop them from using the market because it will ask them for the new password which they dont no also change your facebook password.

already on that. if i can get google to push an app to my phone i should be able to run "pm wipe com.android.example" to all of the packages on my phone. just need to find out how to run it in the background.

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.

$25 Google Play credit not showing

Hello, I bought two N7's from the Google Play store in Canada, one for myself and one for my friend. When I activated mine with my Google account, I automatically received the $25 credit right away. When my friend signed in using her own Gmail account, she saw the welcome screen with the $25 credit mentioned, but she had never set up her Google Wallet account and the tablet asked her to enter her credit card info. She was busy at the time so she skipped it. And then later today she entered her credit card info but she didn't see the $25 credit. What should she do?
EDIT: She deleted her account and added it back and now she sees the credit!

Check my thread to know why US$25 is not shown.

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?

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.

[Q] Google Wallet

I can't make a account because I don't have a credit card
I wanted to make an account to buy apps, is there around not needing a credit card? I was gonna use Moneypak greendot cards to put money into it.
EDIT: I got an account set up without a credit card, how can I add funds?
