Pretty sure that you adding a CC is part of the deal.

Hey guys,

I just got the Nexus 7 a couple of hours ago. I have a question regarding the 25 bucks credit on Google play. Whenever I try to get the 25 dollars credit, I need to put my credit card information. Is there any way yo get the 25 dollars credit without having to give my credit card info?

Considering the fact that Google is giving you that 25 dollars to motivate you to buy stuff in the play store i am sure that you do have to put your credit card information.

You have to have a credit card in your wallet account. I just use those prepaid visas

Ok thanks for your answers guys. Do you think it is safe to give your credit card info? Can you check how much you are spending using the "wallet" app?

I think the Wallet app is just for buying things in stores where you tap your phone to purchase. You can go to wallet.google.com, sign in and see all your transactions.

Using your CC is as safe as everywhere else that uses secure servers for purchasing. I've been doing it for years and only had my identity stolen 4 times.


j/k .. I've never had a problem.

Just bought a new Nexus 7, added my CC to my account, no $25 credit.

Did a factory reset, still no credit.

Bought a cheap app, downloaded it, paid for it no worries. And still no credit.

Any idea what the heck else I can try?

I assume you activated the device with a Google account when you first started, correct?

I received emails after I went thru the setup process.

Yep, as soon as I turned it on and connected to the WiFi network, the next option was to set up your Google account - logged in with my existing account, no dice ever since.

The credit offer ended a few months ago, I believe.

Even if you activated your tablet whilst the offer was available, unspent credit was removed from your account.

Oh, my bad, I was sure that it wasn't there last time I went to pay for something, but I can see it now.

All 7 pennies of it

Guys, the credit option ended way back in like September or October. It was designed to JumpStart sales of this tablet and it ended a few months after it came out.
