Problem getting my additional 25€ play store currency(gift from Google for buying nex - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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...

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.

Returning nexus 7, can I get $25 play credit again?

If I sign in with a different gmail account on a new nexus 7, will it give that account the $25 too. But then I want to put back on my other gmail. Will that be a problem, or will I get another $25 credit?

I just set up my replacement tablet. I did not receive an additional credit. However, you can still get the $10 Google Wallet App credit.

Yes, if your initial sign in is under a different account than you used before you will get another $25.

You can't move credit from 1 account to another. Also you can't get an additional $25 credit on the same account. You would need to use a different account.

Did you login in your replacement device with the same account as in your previous device or a different account ??
Yes I returned my N7 as the speaker was distorted and got a replacement, I setup using my wife's gmail and got another £15 credit. I don't think you can get two credit from the same account.

I lost my US$ 25,00 credit?

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.

$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 4 with Google play store credit?

I was thinking a good way for me to save up for an N4 was to every week buy a $50 Google play card at Walmart and add it to my Google account. Then in seven weeks I should have enough on my account to buy it. Good idea, yeah?
I'm thinking the only bad thing would be if I had to pay tax on the cards.
Can you buy a Nexus 4 with Google store credit? Does it offer that option when you pay?
Thanks.
No store credit.

Google Play gift cards cannot currently be used to purchase devices
Thanks. I'm sure they'll make it possible one day.
