I ordered the Nexus 7 and activated it today. When looking in the account I activated it on I see no mention of the $25 Play store gift card or the free movie and other stuff that should be included according to the product page. I looked at some other threads about this and they all said "it should be there" and I don't see it! I looked in Google Wallet and in my Purchase History in the Play Store and saw nothing! What am I missing? Or am I just a Bad Luck Brian that just doesn't get the gift card?
Thanks.
You don't get the freebies until you physically have the device in your hands and activate it.

Same here. I received the email within seconds of activating the device. You sure you actually don't have it? Check your balance at the play store and see. The email may have gone to your spam box. Just a thought.
The other thing is - did you get yours from the play store or a 3rd party? The cynic in me wonders whether someone purchased it, returned it, and Google play sees that device as already having received the freebies.

I bought mine from staples and I unboxed it, signed into google, saw the credit email in my gmail inbox, then unlocked and rooted and wiped the hell out of it and flashed a custom rom and kernel.
I thought maybe I wasn't going to get the other freebies because I searched google play store and they weren't free. But it was user error, I just had to install the specific apps for google magazines and google movies and books.

Activated it in the USA and I never got an email or anything! Very confused and I wonder if the latest batch of units have the deal expired maybe?
Edit: yes I bought it from google. I looked through my spam folders in a eventually found the message and it mentioned free content but the link sent me to Google help and I can't find the content.

It'll send the credit and extras to the first account you set up. I have two, my old one one for apps, and a newer one one for my gmail and music. I set up my email/music first when I got the N7 and it gave the credit to that.
Also, pretend like you're going to buy something and when it goes to the choosing payment section look in the drop down for the $25 credit.

I tried this and the gift card did not appear on the drop down. Nor can I find my freebies anywhere besides in the email mention from Google. I would like to mention I had changed my email address a few days prior to ordering Nexus 7 and all of the order emails including the one mentioning the gift card arrived in the old inbox.
Just tried changing the email back and looking in Google Play but still can't find the goodies or the giftcard so I changed back the email.
You have a really good reason to call customer support.
They will probably enjoy a call from someone they can help, and is not yelling at them.
Should be easily fixable.
He said to do a factory restore. Ugh, I just got this thing all set up!
Now that all my data is gone and lost, I got the email saying I got the giftcard!

Unless they fixed it you can get the $25 on multiple accounts from 1 device. I got two other people $25 dollar credits just from letting them sign in on my device so someone else getting the freebies isn't possible. Neither is getting multiple credits on one account even if you sign on two different devices. Also you have to have a credit card tied to your Google account to get the $25 credit

Factory Data Reset worked for me also
I am glad I found this post. I was getting aggravated that I could not get my credit.
The Factory Data Reset worked for me also. Once I activated it the credit was there automatically.
Now to reload all my apps, music, and books again.
But it was worth.
You guys should have just made a backup with the Nexus Toolkit. :/

I got my nexus 7 as a gift. When I activated it I didn't get the credit or the other stuff. I did the factory reset (several times actually) but to no avail. When I go to buy an app, there is an 'add card for $25' option which does nothing when I add cards. I tried deleting all my cards, doing a factory reset and none of that made a difference either. I tried calling customer support a couple days ago and he had to escalate since he didn't know how to fix it. I'm still waiting to hear back.
Isn't this your post too?

Is there a way to contact Google via email to sort this issue out? The Contact Google page doesn't actually offer any email or something.
The factory restore didn't work for ya? Asked Google if there was any other way and they said no. Their number is found on Nexus support page.
hey guys, i stay in india. my aunt ordered nexus 4 for me. unfortunately it got back ordered! now she along with her family is coming to india on 26th of november. so if google sends the shipment to her address, there wont be anyone to collect it! so can i change my shipment address to some other place (eg. my other relative) ?? my status still says pending and it has not shipped! please help me and lemme whether i can change the shipment address to other place or not! and how??
No you can't I'm afraid I tried with my nexus 7. Best you can hope for is ring the delivery company once you have a tracking number
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Unfortunately from previous experience I was unable to change my shipping address once the order was placed. However, once it reached UPS, I was able to change the delivery address.
I hope the shipping company can re route your package to a different address. Otherwise I would suggest getting a person you know to pick up the package either at the original shipped to address or at one of their locations.

I just got this tablet last week, and registered it through Samsung. But I don't see anywhere where I can get my credit through Google play. I have contacted both Samsung and Google about this, no replies yet. Anyone been successful in getting the credits yet? Any advice is appreciated.

Yep, that's exactly what i got.
Note that the Samsung store $50 credit expires in a couple months so don't forget to use it. I spent mine on $50 worth of obscure music I wanted and couldn't find for d/l elsewhere.

Almost immediately.
My codes were delivered almost instantly after I applied.
What if you return the tablet, do you keep the codes? The new lg g pad Google Edition is really tempting and I am thinking of returning the note 10.1

Mine showed up pretty much instantly. I want to say that after submitting i got a confirmation page.
The Samsung app store stinks but the music store is a bit better so I spent it there.
this happened to me. if you dont get it immediately it means something is wrong with the system. email samsung to complain and you will get your codes.
i needed to go through like 5 half hour chats with customer service to get my perks.

I purchased:
Dengue Fever - Dengue Fever (self titled CD)
Dengue Fever - Escape From Dragon House
Dropkick Murphys - Live on St Patrick's Day
Phil Anselmo / Warbeast - War of the Gargantuas
An All-Star Tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd
An Industrial Rock Tribute to Judas Priest
All winners!
Note that I did have to search for a while to find them. I noticed that the Samsung Store search index is really messed up, and I had to try a couple of different techniques to even find this stuff. For most of these, I had to go to the artist page and look at all of the albums listed on their artist page. Searching for the album title, or going directly to a list of albums by the artists did not work (ie. these titles were not displayed at all).
If you didn't get your email with codes.
I didn't get my email at first. Later that day I found it in my GMail.
I used my Roadrunner email to register, and that's where I was expecting the reply.
However; the GMail account was the one identified with my Samsung account, so that's where they sent the email.

Registration question
I got 2 of these for family members, and have a question on how this credit is received. I'd like to attach one person to one tablet and another person to the other. It's my understanding that I'm eligible for 2 of these credits - one for each device... BUT, I'd then like to also attach a shared GMail account to each device and use the Google Play credit on the shared account.
Google says you can attach up to 3 devices to an account, and I know Android allows multiple accounts without an issue. What I don't know is how this Samsung credit sends you the $$. Do I need to register both with Samsung under the same GMail account? (Would Samsung even allow me to do so?) Or do they e-mail you the codes after the fact and let you take that code to another account?
I asked Samsung support, and they said it just wasn't possible - but that answer doesn't appear to coincide with their published Terms & Conditions, so I don't really believe it. I'm hoping someone that's been through the process can guide me to an answer I'd like to hear.
[Q] Problems with checkout, error "BM-CPE-13" order declined because of high risk.
Hello, im trying to buy the Nexus 6P frost of 64gbs but when I try to make the order system declines because of high-risk..
I've tried several times but still the same.
Someone have the same issue?
Thank you.
Nope. Mine went through just fine. Were you trying to do the payment plan? It sounds like your credit report came back bad.

I call the bank to verify is everything was ok and they told me that there's nothing to prevent the card for been charged, everything is ok in their systems and I have to comunicate with a Google officer to check what happends.
I dont know why this happends because I already bought an Nexus 5 long time ago with the same account, credit card, and using the same address.
Is kinda stupid you have to insist to make a purchase.

Remove the card from your wallet account and add it back again,then try ordering. That's what worked for me.

I don't think the Nexus phones are available for purchase yet in the Dominican Republic. Either Google recognizes you are on a VPN, or they see you are international trying to use a US-based card. Either way, I am happy to see Google being proactive with security.

As i said, I bought the Nexus 5 with the same account, card and country based.
Google is not being proactive with security if this "proactivity" doesn't allow you to make a purchase.
Banks already has their own security systems, so there's no reason why Google should be that kind of strict in payments options. They're losing business opportunities.
Ill figure out the way to buy it, then, Il post the solution. But I'm sure that I going to get it.
Even i ordered from outside the US and faced this issue several times. Try what i said.

This is what I did. I live in Jamaica but have a USA account with a US bank. I used a VPN on my laptop (hotspotshield) and I ordered using that card and shipped to a freight forwarding address in the USA and my order went through ok, I think I'm one of the first orders to go through too as I noticed the nexus 6 website ended with /nexus/6 so I had /nexus/6p on auto refresh which eventually went live and I ordered immediately.

I have been trying for about a week now to get the 6P but the play store wont allow different credit card addresses / different billing address, so I can't get it from there, Huwawei's website has a really long wait time :/, ebay/amazon is super overpriced, is there any other website that does not use the verification that google uses and the price isnt inflated through the roof? I really need a new phone and the Nexus 6P is the best thing ive seen in a while!
Help would be much much appreciated.
Yeah try locally.
Yeah, we don't get nexus devices here and haven't for years, it's terrible . Anything else maybe =/ ?

I had no choice but buy from eBay and pay some import taxes. A little bit too expensive, but totally worth it. Greetings from Mexico.
You can try UsGoBuy.com forwarding service. They will give you a valid US address in Oregon, which is a sales tax free state.
Then use that address as a billing address in your Google wallet. You can add any international credit card there as long as you have a valid US address.
Use a VPN service from US and use incognito tab in chrome, so that Google thinks that you are really inside of the US. Order you phone, and wait until the forwarder sends it to you.
If it doesn't work, try setting up a new Google account and make sure that you use vpn and incognito tab.
I personally completed all the above steps successfully, and now I am waiting to get the amount to actually buy the device.

Honestly, it was too much work or maybe I'm just too lazy, it was cumbersome. It came out at around 597 $ (64 GB Aluminum) because of tax, and it would not accept my payment, I went on ebay and found a good seller who is selling it unopened and brand new at 620$, I didn't mind the extra 23 $, and finished the order in a few seconds, seriously, I hope Google gets it **** together with this payment thing, here's the link for anyone interested :

If you get high risk its because your account it new. Contact the Google Store support, tell them you got the error and they can release you from the high risk tag.
I have no idea what they ask for, but I some some people did it and it worked.

Also keep in mind that ordering from the US will get you the H1511 model which has bands targeted for North American carriers. Before the 6P was available locally in my country I was also thinking the same thing but found out that the H1511 model doesn't have the LTE bands my carrier uses. You can't buy the international H1512 model from the US Google Play Store and Huawei store unfortunately.
