$10 credit in Google Wallet?

Just curious if the 7 gets the $10 wallet credit other devices get as well.

The N7 gets $25 in credit upon activation.

Yes. I got it although it took a while to activate the prepaid card through Google. Eventually it worked though.

But that's only if you never had a Google wallet account previously ..

Actually...I signed into google wallet on my N7 (with the same Google credentials) and have a balance of $10 whereas my gnex has the balance from the 50 that I added of 32.XX. It appears to be two independent google wallet prepaid cards.

It's device specific, your Google account is only there for account protection. I have gotten the $10 credit on a Nexus S, VZW GNex, and a GSM Gnex

Yeah, that's kind of what I noticed too. Already had Wallet on my GS3 and the $10 prepaid card on that. Activated Wallet on my Nexus 7 just now and it appears to have it's own $10 prepaid card too. One odd thing did happen to me though: activating Wallet on my Nexus 7 appears to have deactivated my Citi card from my Wallet account on my GS3. Anyone else with similar experience?

i just have a quick question does the google wallet work even if you are not connected to wifi?

Yeah it does! Or it wouldn't be very useful would it

The google wallet app... it should be in your app drawer. When I launched it, it told me I could get the credit by signing up.

for Google Wallet in UK it says "This item cannot be installed in your device's country. "

How to change $25 credit to different account

Did anyone else have an eager household member load their google account on to your new N7 before you could? I did, and now the $25 credit is in their account. Anyone know how to change? It's damn near impossible to reach Google Play on the phone today.

its not possible sorry

May I ask how you know this?

I mean the family member not google lol figured i didn't explicitly state that clearly earlier.

Lol. Beat you to it?

Factory Reset your Nexus 7.
When it boots up and starts the wizard, log in using YOUR gmail.
You will receive the $25 credit.
Do this now before they close the loop hole.
You're welcome, now go tell whoever "beat you to it" to don't touch your ****.

Store credit

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.

Where can I see one in a retail store?

I'd like to actually see a Google Nexus 10 in real life and play around with it at a retail store before I decide to buy it. Very curious about the ridiculous resolution etc but Best Buy obviously doesnt carry it. Does anyone know a chain retail store that has them in stock or on display? I could just order it from amazon and or google play and return it if I dont like it I realize but was wondering if anyone had any ideas of where I could actually see one first before ordering. thanks.

I'm pretty sure best buy has them.
Call your local best buy and see.

I tried it out at Staples before buying.

Got mine at Sam's Club. It was on sale for 469. They have a big display with different tablets.

Yeah seen them in two of the Staples I visited. They have it on display. Nexus 7 too if you or anyone else was curious. I heard that some Walmarts will put it on display too but I have not confirmed this first hand. Good luck! :good:

I'd say Staples or Walmart. I got mine at Walmart.

Staples seems more likely to have N10's on display. Wal-Mart in this area only has Galaxy Tab, iPad, and Vizio's on display.

DEAL: Nexus 7 32GB + $25 Play store credit for $239

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 just bought my 32 from BB 2 weeks ago, im going to try and go back tomorrow and ask if i can get my card.

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
