$25 credit for new N7 stopped in September.

Interesting part is, I bought my nexus 7 32gb in Japan.
During the setup process it asked me to enter my data for Google Wallet.
Message was: my credit card doesn't qualify for the 2000 Yen credit, but basically it seems in some regions there is still promotion

As others have said, it's expired. Here's the relevant page, courtesy of a "$25 google play credit expire" Google search: http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2670129

Buy nexus 7 with PayPal?

Is there any way that I can buy my nexus 7 via PayPal? I can't seem to using the play link that is linked by Google.

I think you'd have to transfer your money to google wallet in order to purchase this. Good luck.

Well for me, i just linked my debit card to google wallet. So I'm guessing in your case, withdraw money from Paypal and put it into your bank, connect your debit card to google wallet and pay for it.

I am looking for places that accept paypal also. Staples and Gamestop unfortunately, do not accept it. I'm hoping within a few days of release other online retailers will carry the nexus 7.
A lot of sellers on eBay are taking pre-orders.
In the UK ebuyer.com accepts payments by PayPal and have the Nexus7 for pre-order
I just use PayPal's Debit Mastercard, but I'm not entirely sure if that's available outside of the US

i just used paypal @ www adorama com to purchase the 16G model.

Refund apps purchased with the $25 credit

Hey,
I just found out that my $25 credit actually expires according to another post... but if it still works...
Does anyone know what happens if you try and refund an app purchased with the $25 dollar credit? Does it just get reapplied to the credit?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
i refunded one app. it took about an hour or two for the credit to go back into the card, but it worked!
Yup, I did it earlier this week. It went back on almost immediately for me.

It is only 1 credit per account. I bought 2 N7's, but was only allowed 1 $25 credit.
You would need 2 accounts and 2 credit cards

Also: it was 25$.
Still, you shouldn't feel disappointed, OP, as the price of the Nexus 7 has gone down around 50$ since we early adapters got our hands on one.
Correct me, but i think you get a free movie, a few books and 2 songs for free.. Idk if its still present, but i got them when i bought my 32GB 3g.. ^^

You guys are mixing up the free gift with google wallet and the free gift from nexus 7 purchases.
The gift with google wallet was indeed ten bucks.
The gift with nexus 7 was 25 bucks.
Both have now stopped.

I got my 25 dollars even though it was December. Idk if Google gave it to me by accident or a new promotion was up

The 10$ credit wasn't linked to the 7, it was for activating Google wallet. So no, there wasn't a 10$ credit with purchase of nexus 7, there was a 25$ credit at one point.

It finished ages ago, but you still got a free film, some books and some magazines. Here in the UK we only got a free film

Which, coincidentally, was explained earlier in the thread. There was never any $10 credit linked to the N7. Rather, it was only for activating the now obsolete Google Wallet prepaid card. The credit for early adopters of the N7 was a $25 Play Store credit, which ended 30 Sep 2012.

Problem getting my additional 25€ play store currency(gift from Google for buying nex

As I got a n7 2012, I should get 25$ play store currency as gift when adding a valid payment method to my Google account. Today I used an 15$(€) gift card on it, but I didn't get the additional 25.
Are gift cards not a valid payment method to unlock them? Do I need to add a credit card to the Google wallet account first? Or didn't I receive the money because I bought the tablet not at the play store?
Thanks for your help, opreptetr

Hi, opreptetr...
I'm not 100% sure, because I didn't get my Nexus 7 until November 2012, but I think that 25$ freebie, was a time limited offer, that expired nearly a year ago...
