I've done it using non-us debit card for both of my N7 without a hitch. Have you tried another card? Make sure to set the country to United States. Follow the thread here somewhere and you'll be fine.

Actually, you only need VPN, credit card (a real one, no need to be US issued), and a valid US address and phone (can get this by registering HopShopGo) to get ur US$25...

Places where Google Wallet works

Starting a thread where we let each other know different place where google wallet could be used. That pay pass app isn't the best for finding places and I've found a couple place not even listed on there.
I used google wallet at McDonalds, Best Buy, Rite Aid and Castnet Seafood in New Orleans. Feel free to share your experiences.
Idk but this is useful lol

No go in Australia - so far
Flashed Shopper and Wallet APKS onto my rooted stocked 2.3.6 Nexus S here in Australia.
The NFC component works - the shop's cash machine and wallet app 'talk' to each other, yet the transaction is declined. Also, can't add fund to prepaid card using Australian debit/credit cards.
Does any Master Card work or is it only Citi Cards? I would live to hook this to my standard MC Debit card if I could.

The where it works link is much more accurate I found today than the app they recommend that's for sure.

Wallet on n7

So you may have noticed that the latest OTA brought us wallet on the n7. Is this usable considering we don't necessarily have data while shopping at a store? Does wallet require data?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
does a credit card require data? all it has to do is mimic the rfid signature that the wireless credit cards use.
*Edit* not meant to be as snarky as I just realised it sounds.

I've been using Wallet since the day I got it at I/O and now you don't need data to use it. The NFC chip "remembers" the last balance on your account when you had a data connection on the device.

It also says "Unsupported Device" which means it might not work at all. We won't know until a brave soul pops one out of his man purse & uses it.

I can see maybe using google wallet on n7 maybe at a coffee shop and that's about it. It just seems weird waving a tablet to pay for something, seems better with a phone maybe.

That's because you're rooted
It will still work, but Google plasters the disclaimer in the app.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
those of yall that are rooted remember to go into the settings in the google wallet app and reset it before you flash a new rom. you have to actually do this from in the app, not titanium or anyway else, from inside the app. there is a risk that you will bork your nfc( just for wallet purposes, not for android beam). i forgot to do that a few times when i flashed a new rom on my evo and everything is still fine for me. but yea seriously this is posted anywhere that google wallet was posted in the evo lte forums. im not sure of the validity of this but something yall should look into it. happy spending
I did it today at a local MCD's couple people looked at me puzzled but hey! I got free food thanks to the $10 credit!

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.

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

[Q] No payment/credit card = no payed apps :s

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
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
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?

I was, but given the resent news of a Nexus 5 with Sprint LTE support I'm holding off until it gets announced. If it won't come out to Sprint the Moto X will be my next.
Where did you see tale of sprint nexus5
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I will be getting one soon in white when its available for SWAC purchase. Having an available upgrade is nearly killing me but I doubt I will have to wait much longer. I'm not sure what you guys are reading about another Nexus on Sprint but I wouldn't hold my breath.
I'm still thinking about it. I'll probably time it so that I'm eligible to trade it in for a Note 3 within the 14-day grace period just in case I don't like it.
Good to see a familiar name

I should get one soon hopefully. My broken screen EVO 3D finally gave up the other day, no phone ATM:crying:. Stopped by one of the local Sprint stores, they didn't have any in stock and would let me know when they'll be getting them in the store. Right now it seems they're only available online, not sure for how long though. Need to get my account balance payed down before i can upgrade though...:laugh:
Just some quick thoughts since i just got mine, all bloatware except sprint zone seems removable. Also unless it times out on me it looks like Google wallet may work. It came preloaded anyway

Would you mind grabbing a system dump for me please? Connect phone to computer with usb debugging enabled and run the following command (open a command prompt in the directory where you have adb, tell me if you don't have it and I'll link you to a quick download for it)
Code:
adb pull /system system
Then wait for that to complete and zip up + upload the folder it makes and drop a link for me...
Thanks!

Were you able to get wallet up and going? If you did then the rest of us may be able to bring it over the vzw and att. If we are able to change lines in our build prop to make it think its a sprint then install and set up wallet then revert back like we did with the s3. Might be some hope as long as the secure element is hidden somewhere.
