Thinking about an N7? Get it before 9/30 to get the free $25 credit

[AntimonyER]

Just a heads up, Google just announced the free $25 Play store credit with purchase of an N7 will be ending on 9/30, so if you are thinking about getting one, think faster...

Google Play credit on Nexus 7 - Google Play Help

Eligibility
The $25 Google Play credit offer ends September 30, 2012.

As another note, you will have a year from that date to use your existing balance, all Play credit balances from this promotion expire on 9/30/2013

Tipped that for you. I asked them to give you credit if they do post it on Phandroid.

 

[AntimonyER]

Haha, thanks, I tipped it myself too (before I saw your post). I know I know, shameless self promoter.

Well then I'm hoping even more that I'll go and buy mines on friday then lol

No need to fight over it, you both got credit.
I think I have just a couple bucks left, but I'll use them soon.

I didn't ask for credit, but its neat anyway.

Google ending $25 Play Store credit with Nexus 7 purchase on 9/30

What are some of the better apps to buy? I already have Titanium Backup Pro, but I was thinking Light Flow Pro for my GNex (btw does the N7 have a notification light?). I would prefer to use the credit on utilities rather than games

 

[Unforgiven]

If you have the credit, you won't lose it. They just won't be giving it to folks that buy the tab after 9/30.

As far as lightflow goes, I have it and love it on my GNex. The N7 doesn't have a notification led, but you can use it to manage notification sounds on the N7.

I'm not a TiBu user, so I'll defer on this to someone else. Let me check some of my other paid apps and see if there is anything else worthwhile.

 

[AntimonyER]

Yeah, per my post, you have another year before you lose the credit. So take your time. Hopefully there are some good app sales near the end of the year.

The $25.00 credit wasn't a deciding factor in my purchase but it was a nice bonus. I'm not a power user and still have over $11.00 left in my account that will take a while to use up. For someone that has a need for power apps that $25.00 credit will come in real handy.

lol i already used all my credit.

I was thinking LightFlow Pro and maybe Beautiful Widgets, but other than that I'm not seeing anything that catches my eye lol

I bought a couple games and some children's books so far, but still have $18 left.

A LED control app on an N7 would be a big waste, I'm assuming you'd use it on another device.

Beautiful Widgets on the other hand is a worthy spend of the credit.

I'm still sitting on $20 of my credit, I just can't find anything I want/need. I did use some of the credit and donated to the beta Falcon twitter widget. That thing is awesome.

Help! When I first set up my N7, I was given the option of adding a credit card (and getting the $25) later when I made a purchase. However, I just made a purchase in Play and didn't get the $25. Any ideas?

Update: I can't seem to find Transformers, either.

Chameleon Launcher just release on the play store today for $10 if anybody really wants to spend a chunk of that $25.
