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

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?

When you activate google wallet, you get $10, can you use that $10 for apps?
i think that 10.00 credit goes into your back card you activated. Its not that you activate the google wallet. i think you get the credit for using the nfc for the first time at a brick and mortar retailer.
I COULD Be wrong . i have had google wallet since the switched my google merchant to it years of using google pay customer here as well as i have a pay pal debit/ credit card . never use your real cards online or even paying for a meal out to dinner .

i have the same question, or even if we can use it to buy anything online would be cool, i don't think i want to go to a 7 eleven with my huge tablet and pay with it!
I think I heard it's for NFC purchases only.
So, go to a Starbucks nearby and get yourself something. :laugh:
How would that work. The nexus 7 is a WIFI only device, to use the Wallet app you need an internet connection.

Any methods? Or cannot do it?
Plz let me know so that I do not to factory reset many times...

22/7:
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.

Could you share it with the rest of us. I still have the same problem as you. Don't want to factory reset or pay for a VPN.

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
A friend brought me a Nexus 7 brand new, sealed in the box, from Canada to Brazil. After setting up mu device and my account I can see I just don't have that US$ 25,00 credit for the play store. I lost it just because my account isn't canadian? :crying:
If you at live in Brazil, you won't get your content. You might not have full features like magazines, books, and movies also because they don't have licensing there.

I know... I just wanted the credit to buy more apps.
I want this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLmFyZ29zeS52YmFuZHJvaWQiXQ.. and the credit would buy it for me.
Damn!

I'm Brazilian too. I could use the $ 25 bonus with the following steps:
Unlock/root your device;
Follow this step -by-step http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29540126&postcount=56
When you enter your google account, it will ask the information of your credit card.
Enter your name and number of the card properly.
Place a zip code and U.S. phone.
Search for fake US address to find some sites about it.
Make any purchase in order to ensure that the bonus is activated. Buy some $ 1 app;
Once activated bonus in your account, go to http://www.google.com/wallet/ and change the address of your credit card to the correct address.
In my case, the wallet showed two credit cards: the correct one, that had there through my old smartphone, and the new one, but with the U.S. address
You can uninstall orbot later, if desired.
Your bonus will remain in your account balance, even exchanging credit card, brazilian address etc.
You don't need to root or unlock the device. Setup a free VPN. Login with another Google account if you do not want to factory reset. Maintain the US address and zip cod but you can use your country's credit card. I got my credit in Malaysia.

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...

Just ordered a standard SIM and a micro SIM for other compatible devices I have. There is a limit of 2. You need to provide your name, address, primary phone number, and a credit card for verification, but you don't have to pick a plan or buy anything else, so there is no charge.
I'm not a T-MOBILE client.

Not sure what the deal is/was. Whenever I need a Sim card I just walk into a store and ask for 1. Every time they have just handed me 1...no questions asked. I think I've gotten 5 total this way and at 3 different stores.

Were they corporate stores or 3rd party multi-carrier locations? Most corporate stores I've run across are pretty chill, I know if I upgrade phones and need a new SIM, they'll give and activate it for me for free, only because the phone comes with one, but the time I did set up with my own phone, just handed me a SIM card, no charge, then activated it.
