Hey guys! Just saw this in the news! Its free $25 dollar credit at Google Play for buying the HTC One. Redeem it before July 15th!
http://us.htc.com/googleplay/
FYI It's for US owners only (and even then for a very short and specific purchase window.)
While supplies last. Void where prohibited by law. Offer valid only on new HTC One devices purchased and activated in the U.S. between 6/14/13 – 7/15/13. You must register your device at www.htc.com/us/googleplay/redeem by 7/15/2013. Limit one registration per email account. Codes will be delivered to registered email address within 2-4 weeks of registration. Information may be subject to validation. Google Play store credits must be redeemed by 11/30/2013 and may be subject to a later expiration date.
Unfortunately, the site says that its for purchases after June 14th. However, it still took my information and doesn't ask for it in the sign up page, so I tried it anyways. Will post what the email response from HTC will be. Hopefully, this will be useful for new purchasers. Thanks!
EDIT. Thanks for adding that info @snachez.
I bought my htc one from eBay. Getting g it tomorrow. T mobile version. Does that count?

[USA only] Free $25 Google Play Credit with Purchase

Hi all
I cancelled my Google order last week before shipment due to getting one of the emails saying it was delayed. I bought from pc world here in the UK in the end.
On Sunday I got an email saying my tablet has been shipped. I checked the tnt ref today and apprantly my Gardner has signed for it today while I was at work. I dont have a Gardner!
At the time of canceling my order i removed my c/card details from wallet to ensure the order was not shipped. I checked my balance as of last night and they have not debited the money. I checked with my bank and they have pre authorised the funds but not taken it.
How quick was your money taken compared to delivery?
Just wondering if somehow I have managed to get a free nexus 7 from Google?

Once you click GO on a purchase a contract is formed between the card issuer and the retailer.
The funds are booked and the item is then shipped. Once the item is shipped the funds are released to the retailer.
If the gardener has signed for it they have a free Nexus and you have to prove you're not a gardener and don't employ one.
if you can prove that then liability is with the carrier and your card issuer is responsible for the refund.
Neighbor with the last name gardener? Call Sherlock
In the US they have typically been charging on shipping day, mistakes aside...

Attaching a card during registration was optional, and they won't automatically charge you anyways:
What happens at the end of my free 1-year membership?
You are receiving a full 1-year membership to ShopRunner. You have the option to provide your payment information that would be used to renew your membership at a rate of $79 annually. Even if you provide your payment information, your account will not be billed unless you actively go into your Account Settings page on ShopRunner.com and change your status to auto-renew your membership. As a reminder, your free 1 year membership has no obligation and does not require a credit card. The 1-year membership is absolutely free.

Thanks OP :good:
On a side note, you can get an extra 3 months for free by activating ShopRunner Central. To do that, after you sign-up, go to Track All Shipments/Orders, and sign up for ShopRunner Central to get a 3 month extension. Keep in mind that this grants access to your Gmail account for them to download receipts and orders from all of your online orders, not just ShopRunner orders. So open a second tab and have the page ready to cancel the Central thing. Make sure to revoke access to your Google account as soon as you see the credited time on your account. It should be immediate.
To add/cancel ShopRunner Central: http://www.shoprunner.com/members/ShopCentral.php
To revoke access: https://www.google.com/settings/security
I'm set up until 19 March 2014 now. Note that they run these promotions at least once a year. I've had ShopRunner nearly since the day they came out, and I've never once paid a penny to them for membership. This will be my third or forth year now. It's worth it for free Dominos pizza delivery alone. lol
EDIT: I just logged in to my account to check up on things, and I noticed that they seem to have made 2013 a free year for everyone. My account does not expire until 19 March 2015 now. Yay, I suppose.
How do you add the promo code if you already have an account with them? Or do you have to set up a new account with a new email?

If you currently have an account, there's a clever way to get in on the deal. Cancel your membership, then sign up again with this deal using the e-mail address of your now cancelled account. It will retain all of your shipping history and account info and extend your membership a year from the date you re-sign up. You'll gain at least 15 months, if you combine it with my suggestion above. There's a possibility that you'll get an extra year for free if you're quick about it. It seems like they're giving away a free year for 2013 for current members. That could give you a total of 27 months for free.
Signed up, purchased a mSD card for my vacation. Received two day shipping. Thanks!

Its kind of hard to contact them when their chat and email is offline. Finally got email to work and then had a new window for chat pop up and that one works. Talking to a csr now. And the email is on its way to me. Says to reply before midnight tonight, and it takes up to 2 days for you to get the code to unlock a one time in-store credit that's good till December 31st. And all the accessories I want are out of stock?

I guess you could, but they could charge you if you decide to return the phone. I really dont know.
Nope. Not accepting this offer.Don't need junk from Moto's accessory store. Bought the identical Dev GSM X today for $399.
I have an RMA for my Dev GSM X and bought a new one today. Tried to convince Moto support to just give me a $150 refund rather than ship back a perfect device, but they flat out refused. Ok, RMA'ing a perfectly good phone at Moto's expense. Makes no sense.

The email says the coupon code will arrive about 2 days after they receive the reply back from you with the information they asked for. Since they extended the sale the code would have to get here before the sale ends to use it and the earliest I see getting the code is Thursday.
Is the deal on Wednesday and next Monday only for motomaker or are they going to open it up for Dev editions as well?

From my understanding its only for moto maker phones as the dev editions sold out. Doesn't hurt to check the site Wednesday and Monday just to be sure.

There were other ways to get into chat yesterday besides the main support page. I got in by sending an email to customer support which then popped up a chat window which was working. The email I received said you could only apply for the in-store credit until midnight last night, it was only good on full priced, unbranded phones (not a carrier phone) purchased from the Motorola website after November 18th.

I asked the CSR during my session and she told me the coupon is good for any purchase on Motorola.com, including phones. The reason I was okay with getting a coupon is because I had planned to buy a Moto G as a gift, so I made sure to ask her.

It makes sense for people who, like me, had planned to buy stuff from the store. This should be easier than processing a return, leave alone the fact that we don't know when Moto Maker is really going to be fixed.

So I read it again and it says a year of Netflix, does that include the 4k package cuz thats what I have.

You could try eBay
Short of knowing someone in the areas that it is available that can buy one for you ebay or swappa would be your best bet. Depending on how tight supply is they will likely fetch a premium.
I ordered my N5 from Germany Play Store via mailboxde.com back in the days. Worked nicely.
I live in Bahrain (middle east) and i ordered mine from the us play store. It will arrive at my virtual address with comGateway.com,which will then get forwarded to me. Steps you need to take to be able to do this:
1. You need a US google account. To do that, use vpn and then enter your credit card details with a US billing address in your play store account (Google store payment system does not seem to authenticate billing address). Take a 1 month trial of google music unlimited, and now even without vpn, your account will remain a US account.
2. Open an account with comGateway(or any other package forwarding site, i use this one because it's in a zero tax state) and you will get a virtual address in the US.
3. Go to Google store and order your phone to be delivered to your US address.
If step 1 doesn't work for you, comGateway has a "buy for me" service where they will buy the phone for you and charge you 10% extra. Alternatively, there are websites which can give you a virtual US credit card, but I'm not sure if that will work in the google store.

They are not accepting non-US credit cards. I tried there first as it was working out to be a little cheaper.
I want this phone, or the 5X, too. I'm, too from Croatia.
The only web shop I found so far that delivers here is Expansys.si (or whichever EU country Explansys operates in). There's no list price yet.
Anyways, I'm not keen of using these virtual address forwarding services, so I'd like to know if anyone else found a EU online store that will eventually sell the phone(s)?
yupyup, preordered mine from carphone warehouse in the UK, its only 440£ (around 596€, so 54€ cheaper than the official price here in germany will be). they only offer the 32gb versions in aluminum and graphite and only ship to UK mainland adresses, so i used borderlinx
another nice thing to note: quoted delivery date is oct 22nd

I truly hope you do get it that early, but it sounds too good to be true. carphone won't be getting them any sooner than the actual play store.

I guess that's probably due to having a foreign credit card. I guess if I decide to buy this phone I'll have to get one of my American friends to purchase it on my behalf.
For all Europeans I would actually suggest odrering in UK and not USA. US version has dofferent LTE bands which will influence LTE availability during usage.
