[Q] google play credit - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so obviously the google play pre orders havent even shipped yet while others are getting theirs from other vendors. i just want to know to the people who received their tablets if they got the $25 google store credit. people were saying it should be loaded onto your account when activating the tablet for the first time while others are saying its only for google play pre orders. if it doesnt matter and everyone gets it, im gonna cancel my order and try to get it at gamestop

You get it with gamestop, too.
The problem with getting from gamestop is you can't just walk in and buy it. You can order it in for wave 2 which comes in a couple weeks.

some people in the other thread were saying they just went to the store and bought it without preordering so im gonna try my luck lol. hopefully my gamestop will let me do it. btw do you get a card or validation code for the credit or is it automatically applied when you first register the tablet?

It's automatically applied when you activate.

The Development section is a bit slow at the moment (posting-wise). Does anyone know if unlocking the bootloader and rooting removes the $25 option when you're on Google Play? I know not everyone here has received theirs yet. Just wondering.

I think that was only available until 7/12, but don't quote me on that.
I would definitively check. I still can't get mine out of the box, not sure where my credit comes from yet.. :victory:
EDIT: Finally watched a dozen unboxing videos, while watching I just slid the box off without realizing.. (j/k) Anyways on topic, GameStop gets the $25 credit, once you enter your Google account info you get this screen;

Give me yours, I'll get it out of the box.

Once I logged into to my Google account the $25 credit was applied, you have to link a credit card however (mine was already linked to my account). As far as just walking into Gamestop and buying without preorder, you can't. Asus only shipped the number of preorders each store made. The store I picked mine up only had 3, 2 of which were mine.

I did not preorder from gamestop. I called a gamestop around me and asked if they had one. They had one left and I left work to go pick it up. I bought it no hassle, though the price tag on it was $99,999 LOL! I was told that I couldn't get the $25 play credit. I just got home and activated my N7 and instantly got an email saying I got a credit of $25 in the play store..
Not only did I get it without preordering, I got the $25 as well too.

So pissed that Gamestop has it before we do (Play preorders). Feel like cancelling mine and trying to hit up a local GS instead. It would be easier to exchange if anything was wrong with it too (knock on wood).

I preordered from google as well. I just got insanely lucky.

i guess its a hit or miss with gamestop. i called a few and a majority of them only have them for pre orders. btw dont bother calling google for cancelling either. after being on hold for almost an hour they said since they are about to ship theres no way they can modify or cancel the current order. you can only return the item once they deliever it to you. you wont pay a restocking fee as long as the box is not open and they will send you a prepaid shipping label for a return.

Just hit up my local Best Buy and got $108 and some change back from my purchase of 2 GSIIIs. Thanks again for the tip!
I got my S3 for 149.99$ because i bought the Evo 4g LTE and then exchanged phones, so the giftcard was applied to my evo's 199$ price... could i go back and have them price match to save another 50$?
Well I had some little snooty B**** not price match because none of the Radio Shacks around here have the actual phone in stock. I'm going to be calling them daily and as soon as I find one in stock, I'm running back to BB and hopefully getting the price match.
I may also try another BB or two before then, just in case they are more easy to work with.

BestBuy in Westbury NY just issued me my refund. As i walked in I saw the MGR of the mobile department on the phone with a customers phone. He gave it back to them and customer walked out. I asked him about the radio shack promo and he said he was just on the phone with the radio shack down the block and that the promo was only for new subscribers. After i showed him the print out from the net that clearly states new line/contract or contract extention, he went on the web himself, verified and issued my refund of $54.32.
If you were that guy in the hat and a cast on your hand that left BB in Westbury, go back and claim your refund.

$199 for the 16GB at Staples with $30 tablet coupon this weekend.

I bought mine with price matching at BestBuy this afternoon.
same. did they give you a spiel about this is an exception. that they don't normally pricematch a coupon.
YES! they refused to do it for me, and I even called afterwards and even though their site says they'll price match within the fifteen days, the guy refused to over the phone telling me that the site is obviously wrong bc they only price match at time of purchase. I was like k sure.. I'll call back tomorrow.

I ordered&picked-up then found out staples has the coupon. So I call bestbuy customer service (twice) to get a price adjustments
(also chatted once online). Got a woman then a young guy. Both sounded very rude and unprofessional, eventhough I knew enough
to talk nicely (when I need something done for me).
Sound like they don't get paid well enough to care, just getting thru the day to get paid.
I was about to get to the store and try a return/re-buy. But then staples sent me a shipping confirmation.
So that would be good 'cause I ain't want to deal with bestbuy anymore. I actually hope they improve to survive so I can have
more places to shop.
Can't fault Best Buy because Staples made a mistake by not excluding the Nexus 7 2013 and probably losing money on each with coupon.

I typically don't let myself get upset if things like this don't work because this IMO staples coupon situation is technically in the same realm as a price error - as mii7chy said, they probably lose money on each tablet sold with this coupon especially considering this is a brand new item.
Consider yourself lucky that you at least got an order through staples with the discount, there are plenty that didn't!
Squeezed my order yesterday just before they ran out of stock. I was afraid I was gonna get a cancel order but, shipping this morning

Staples refused to honor the coupon in their store. Manager said corporate sent a message out that stores can't honor the $30 discount for any nexus 7. That is BS!
I went to best buy to price match and the guy said they have been doing that all day. When he asked his supervisor to get me a nexus 7 the guy said they don't price match that offer anymore because staples refuses to honor it. This all bs!

Call your local best buy and ask first. Apparently some still are, but a lot aren't.
Best Buy wouldnt honor unless staples had inventory in my case of the 32 which they didnt. if i had 16 they would of. i went to staples to buy the 16 with coupon and the then sell the 32 but staples said the coupon excludes the new nexus 7 via few hours AGO.
oh well.. still have my 32

$50 google play credit with purchase of Nexus device

So, I saw this come up, my phone is set to be delivered tomorrow. I wanted to know if I was eligible. The rep said no, device must be purchsed between 11/28-12/1 and at the rate things are going, none will be in stock on 11/28 so no nexus purchases will receive the $50 credit. ugh...

Thats quite subjective, its 11/28 over here already and I'm sure the rep would let it pass by being only several hours if you're on the west coast. You ordered weeks ago.
I wish I could get it when I buy it from T-Mobile tomorrow, lol.
And now its finally sold out on all 4 models.

Just my opinion but with as bad as this launch has been, Google should be offering this promo to anyone that was able to even buy a N6.

That is technically a $50 credit to make up for Sprint charging $50 more for 32GB version... if Sprint is dropping the ball Google felt they do not want to drop it and offered this.
If someone orders via Google Play, then great, but all who purchased devices from google play should be eligible since return policy still applies until 14 days are up... but, who would return the phone back because of $50 credit...
I may sweet talk their rep into getting the credit since they are shipping me the replacement due to Vertical and horizontal lines banding on my initial phone I got...
Besides that this phone is an absolute phone of today's market!!! Must have, and yes it is big
I called google about this a few hours ago. I told them I had ordered my nexus on Nov. 5 and just recently saw the $50 play credit. They transfered me to a nexus 6 device rep and he wasn't able to give me the $50 because i got it before the promo but he hooked me up with a $25.

Sprint doesn't charge more for the 32GB version anymore.

First the Note 7 mess, now the Samsung Promotions debacle.

I ordered 3 S8+ phones from Verizon on March 30.
2 phones ship, but with 2 day air (my plan includes next day air) due to VZW rep screw up.
The 3rd phone they send an email telling me that they need more info, but nothing in the email says what they need. I get a call on the 15th and they say they need my credit card number. I told them I entered it, and it even appears on my order receipt they emailed me. Rep said they dont have it so I give it to them. They cancel my order! Then place another one (without mentioning that of course). And yes, the moron changed it to 2 day air.
2 phones get delivered on the 20th and I register right away for the Samsung promotion and choose the $99 offer on both.
3rd phone delivers today, no option to select the $99 dollar offer on that.
VZW wants to call Samsung and see if they can get them to honor the promo I missed out on due to VZW incompetence. Of course I know its not gonna happen. After an hour, the rep says she cant hold any longer for Samsung and tells me to email her when I hear from them. Another hour later, I give up.
I check the status of my orders and one says processing the other says approved. Nothing mentions paying the $99.
I have a feeling that none of them are going to happen.
What a useless promo. They had such a severely limited amount that you not only had to preorder on day one (like a lot of us) but then you also had to hope your carrier didnt screw up (like VZW), and then even though you get to select it, then you still could be out of luck.
Samsung, you blew it again. I thought the Note 7 , and the replacement Note 7 was a mess and pain in the @ss..... now this crap?
apples and oranges.
Just saw this on the Samsung website when checking my promotion status and trying to pay for the $99 bundle.

As a twist, I was able to click buy for the $99 promotion. It wouldn't let me add my credit card to samsung pay(not supported), wouldn't let me click on paypal(gave an error), and wouldn't let me just pay with my credit card (said the info was invalid). Then, my phone battery died. Now, It says the promo isn't valid. It says my submission has been approved and it's processing gift. But, since I never got to pay anything... I have no clue what is happening.
I ordered mine from Samsung website on the 17th of April. Got the $99 Bundle and both phone and bundle arrived yesterday.

I registered for the free VR and got approved for the $99 bundle? Can't get through to promotions on the phone. Tried 3 times and stayed on hold 2 hours each time with no one answering. Emailed, no response. Tried online support, took an hour to get a rep and he told me to call the 1-800 number.

Promotion is still available for me too....wish I had the extra cash!
I submitted my registry and under check status it shows that I chose the immersive package, but I'm still not approved and have no way to pay. On the Samsung website it says they're sold out did to high demand. I will be seriously bummed if I lose out since I pre ordered the first day and registered the first day I got my phone.
I checked the shop app. There was an option to buy the fully immersive bundle at $99. I bought and it. My card was authorized and I got a confirmation email.
The order shows up as confirmed in my Samsung order page as well.
I don't see any way this compares to batteries exploding. It sucks but at least you still have your phone.

I just got off the phone with the rep. I was told as long as you claimed it before it ran out you should be in the clear and just have to wait for the email to pay for it. I claimed mine on the 19th and and have not gotten the option to pay for it yet. The rep pushed my request up to the next left for faster processing, but said I had claimed the 99 bundle while they were available.

I claimed mine on the 19th and and have not gotten the option to pay for it yet. The rep pushed my request up to the next left for faster processing, but said I had claimed the 99 bundle while they were available.

I hope that is true that if they approved you then your in the clear. I got my email approval two days ago but each time I try to purchase the bundle I get an error stating it couldn't be added to the cart try again later. Probably because they are sold out. Fingers crossed I can still get it.

I find this frustrating--that they "sold out" of the promotion on the day the phone was released (for those of us picking them up in person anyway).
The headphone/memory card promotion was part of my decision to buy the phone, and it turns out they only have 50,000?! Maybe that was in the fine print somewhere, but it should have been prominently displayed on the promo page--"The first 50,000 customers get this offer."

If that's true, I'll be totally stoked. We'll see when the email links start rolling out. Like you guys, I'll be bummed if that's not the case.

750,000 preorders so thats what ... 6%?
Samsung then altered that deal by allowing their preorders to get the promo at the time of preorder. Then they let the carriers choose the date the phones were delivered, further screwing up the possibility of anyone being able to get the promo.
If they had restricted the delivery to opening day, or not allowed themselves the perk of letting those who preorder with them the ability to get the promo ahead of others who ordered on the 30th (you could order form Samsung on the 16th and be guaranteed a promo but if you ordered from a carrier on the 30th you were unlikely to get it).
Yes I'm pretty pissed of about it and samsung doesn't care

I ordered my Sprint version from Samsung. That way I can use their financing.
While chatting with them I asked if the Sprint ship date was correct and they had no answer. Samsung says they'll ship by the 11th. But no one will know for sure until you have a tracking number.
Do you know if Sprint is offering the $425 credit for the note 7 users? I'm trying to get it through Samsung, but my S8+ is not on the list of acceptable devices. I don't want to have to deal with selling it on Swappa.
I pre ordered mine through Sam's club, get the same free stuff and I'll get a 200 dollar gift card from them as soon as I pick it up!

They are NOT offering the $425 credit. The only things they are offering atm are the promo gifts and 50% off credit as new line only
I pre-ordered the black unlocked version from Samsung with a trade in of an s6 for $425, free sd card, sprint sim, and wireless charger, $20.00 off VR headset (note 8 edition), $50.00 off dex station. My total was still only $750. I did the 24-month account with Samsung. The phone without the VR headset and dex station was going to be $26/month and with for $32/month so I went with the extras...it's only $6 more per month. Now I have to look for some screen protectors and cases. And now to sell my s7 edge on eBay...hehehe.

Mine says it will ship by 9/11. This happened on the Note 7 and most received theirs 2-4 days before availability. I'm sure that we will have them anytime the week before release.
I ordered mine directly from Samsung to take advantage of the extra $125 off they're offering because of the Note 7 recall. I do believe Sprint is currently stating they'll ship on 9/5 and Samsung is saying they'll ship on 9/11. I'm ok with waiting a few more days for the $125. My total, with all of the goodies was $572.
I didn't order the unlocked version, I ordered the sprint version... I wonder if that was a fatal flaw although I'm not planning on switching as I have 3 other phones still under contract until 2018...

I did the same. Granted they gave me an early upgrade. So i guess that works. I can work on root earlier that way so I guess that works out
Preordered at Bestbuy on Friday

Yes, they are to previous Note 7 owners.
They are taking quite a few phones in as trade...... But not the S8.
