Clover Pay on Nexus 7 - Nexus 7 General

I like this a lot more then PayPal (they screwed me out of over $2200 and I'm done with the BS customer service.) You have to side load it and use the "call" feature to activate it. If you sign up for Clover Gold, you get a $5 credit and you can turn that into an Amazon gift card, it's win win...if you just want $5 and want to close the account you can also do that, but I recommend using this for sending/receiving money or even Serve from American Express, I've been using this for almost a year. I like it, just happen to get a few more invites to share with you guys to check it out.
Again, you don't have to keep the account, you can close it after you get your $5 if you'd like. It requires you to enter you bank account to transfer funds etc. It's a legit company from ex yahoo employees and few other big name players.
If you guys want to try it, here is my link to get in:
MOD EDIT: Removed
Let me know how it works for you guys or if you have any issues, I have a few invites left.

I personally signed up for the Infone offer, because ou get a free $10 amazon card, and you dont have to cancel because as long as you dont use their service more then 5 times, they wont bill you. Many others go for the Free AOL for 50 days, or the Netscape. Those, you just sign up for, then wait 2 weeks, then cancel. There are many other offers such as the columbia DVD or BMG Music. After you sign up, all you have to do is get 5 other friends to sign up as well (really easy)

Just do it with a mail account you will dump, since this is a collection service for spammers.
Also keep track of everything closely and keep lots of records. These guys have generated a lot of fraud complaints because they try to back out of actually sending out anything.

Account Exposure?

I Don't know how but, yesterday my google account got hijacked. I have no idea how, I never share my account details to anyone. The hijacker bought several items and in the end leaving me in debt with exactly 278 dollars. I have no idea how my account got exposed. And my password is all numbers and it follows a certain pattern that only I know.
(Used to be, I changed it and cancelled my credit card)
I wonder how my account got exposed. And the only thing Google Responded was, we're sorry, these purchases weren't made in your account. But I have like 12 messages in my inbox saying otherwise. And they were all Play Store purchases.
Phishing perhaps. They asking for info? Did you actually get charged on your card?
do you get prize mail etc ask about claims item by enter gmail id and pass?
check your bank account. maybe those messages in your inbox are just spam
Checked it and actually owe 400 dollars. I don't believe forwards and surveys. It's a Market Receipt that I got
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Forward the emails to Google and ask them to explain, since they say the purchases were not made on your account but the money was taken. Keep pushing Google with this as something has obviously happened.
I have a specialist looking into it. They located the Hijacker, he's in North Carolina. He was using a tablet and entered my google account to the Google Play. The charges were made by an in-game purchase. They're working on getting me a refund and tracking.the thief.

Another reason why PayPal SUCKS

So here is my absolute HORROR STORY of dealing with PayPal.
I sold a phone on eBay (an Evo with a clean ESN and rooted w/ICS) and the seller emails me a few days later saying the phone can't be activated and they were on the phone with sprint for 3 hours and the "other Evo they bought was able to be activated (wtf? why would they buy two for the same account??)" so I asked them for the ESN number to double check... they give me the serial number. REALLY? You've been on the phone with Sprint for "3 hours" but don't know the damn ESN number??? The person is obviously a LIAR. I eventually get them to give me the ESN (which sprint says they can activate and say they haven't had anyone trying to activate the ESN... proving they are a liar). I ask why they didn't just go to the store since I looked up their address and they had one close by. They ignore the question and say they are going to file a report against me. I say go ahead, thinking paypal will listen to my evidence.... NOPE!!!!!
PayPal completely IGNORES the evidence and after freaking WEEKS they give her the money back!!! I have NO PHONE, NO TRACKING NUMBER, and NO MONEY!!!
WTF!!!
Oh and get this.. "the phone can't be activated because it has ICS...". I literally screamed in anger when I read this. I've activated phones rooted with ICS a million times, and it was in the damn description that it had ICS.
I'm calling PayPal tomorrow and telling them to give me the money, or give me a tracking number, or I'm filing a damn police report.
I used to take up for Paypal when others would report similar issues; but, when it happened to me, I finally understood just how merciless Paypal can be.
I had an old iTunes account floating out there that I forgot to cancel, and also forgot to pull my info from the account. It was totally my fault for leaving the stuff out there like that, I don't deny it, but what happened next forever changed my view of Paypal.
Somehow, someone got ahold of this account, and purchased two iTunes gift cards in the amount of $50 each. As soon as these hit my bank, I contacted Paypal, and explained that I had no idea what was going on. Their reply was that they were freezing my account, and that I needed to contact Apple and try and find out what was going on.
While I was going 'round and 'round with Apple, three more charges went through on my "frozen" account with Paypal. Meanwhile, Paypal support swore up and down that there was no way that someone could use a frozen account.
Finally, Apple found the old account, closed it, and refunded all of the purchases. Paypal never really lifted a finger to help me.

yeah!
Paypal is a good example of a company that has become too big to care. I've had dozens of problems with them, from bugs in their website, to bs big company politics. Unfortunately, in the end, where else are you gonna go?
Pay pal was a great site. You could look into Amazon Payments.
That sucks man PayPal should at least guarantee that the item gets returned to seller then refund the money. Best of luck
Sent From Galaxy Bigger Than Yours.
I had a paypal account suspended years ago when my sister in law, with the same name as me, screwed someone over on ebay. Same name, same TOWN, so they told me they considered it the same person.
I literally had to convince her to get a scan of her ID and mine to sort it, and it took weeks after the info was sent in.
Since then, I still use it, but I attach it to an account that I ONLY use for paypal and I never leave money in there for longer than I need to for a purchase.
In my experience paypal is all about supporting customers and just pushing aside sellers, which is proven by your case, they just always assume that the seller is some dodgy no code crook when often its the other way round
Yeah, horrible situation. How they can simply refund the purchaser's money without making sure that the seller gets the original item back is beyond ridiculous. Obviously it would take some capital but this would be a great time for someone else to step in and create a secure site.
Would it be possible to implement a system that acts as escrow, holding the buyer's funds electronically until the transaction is complete and only refunding the cost if the original item is first returned to the seller in case of dissatisfaction?
The escow style idea should be the way that it is. I have had to return an item bought via paypal and I was told in order for the seller to get the money back I needed to show proof of shipping with tracking. I had no problem with this, of course. I do know that the money was not pulled from me until I provided this.
I think paypal plays on a case by case basis for some crazy reason, because the stories that you read/hear about often have no real similarities.
I'm glad my dealings with PayPal have been limited to using them as an intermediary for credit card transactions with sketchy sellers (mostly eBay). I'm not giving anyone direct access to my bank account, especially with stories like these... jeeze.
I had many of good and bad experiences with paypal. They've rolled on me and gave my money back to a buyer. Luckily, I got the sold item back.
I had my identity stolen using paypal and they had my back like no other. It overdrew the associated bank acount by 2000 dollars, and not only was it all reimbursed, but they covered my overdraft fees and gave me 200 dollars for the inconvience. I also got the bank to waive the same overdraft fees and came out another 150 dollars ahead.
The cookie crumbles both ways.
Me and paypal are good.

Another reason:
Some weird buseniss took some money from account. So I asked paypal to but it back, they did. And then I had to do security check to see of my account was hacked. I had to sent a letter from my bank with adress etc. But I do everything only, so they say to send bill for electricity, but I dont get no bills, I live with my parents. I used paypal 2 years ago for the last time, I was a happy user, but know there are still 50 freaking euros I cant, get back

wow such horrible stories! seems like sometimes we really feel powerless against these big companies right ?
Yeah ik bro. There were multiple times when paypal would just refund the buyer's money and I would end up getting scammed even though the phones/tablets I was selling were perfectly functional. I soon realized after this happened to me twice that paypal is just a plain scam and I stopped selling stuff on ebay.

[Q]»The 25$ free credit will be linked to my credit card or my gmail?

[Q]»The 25$ free credit will be linked to my credit card or my gmail? I mean if I buy the tablet for my friend using my friend's gmail account but using my credit card, then deleted my credit card info from his play store account , will he become able to benefit from the free 25$ credit without needing my credit card info??
It is associated with your google play/Wallet account which uses your gmail account. when you first log into the device the credit is placed in that account.
It is not associated with who purchased the device.

Thnx for reply but will he be able use them regardless to the buyer credit card info present or deleted?
Is there a way to check your balance? I got a email saying i got the $25 even though i didnt preorder. Want to be able to keep track of it since i dont expect to spend it all at once.
Unless you log into his new device, it would use HIS account. When you setup the device, one of the first things you do is associate the device to an exciting or newly created account.

The credit is to get you used to buying stuff. It is not just for pre-order orders.
Note the kindle fire had a similar credit.

NVM figured it out. You need to log into google wallet (non app) and check balance under payment method. There it shows your google play credit.

Plex and Avia free today

With Amazon offering 5 free apps = 1000 Amazon coins ($10) for purchases from the Amazon App Store currently, you can get both Plex and Avia (in app upgrade) for free and still have plenty left over to get a game or two.
- You must buy through the Amazon App Store, using your U.S. account (Canadian account won't work)
- You have to "purchase" and download the 5 listed free apps, but you don't have to install them unless you want to
- You get 200 Amazon coins for each of them, arrives in your account within a minute or so
- You can then use the 1000 coins for buying apps or making in-app purchases up to $10 worth
Definitely works for Plex and the Avia in-app upgrade. AllCast not listed unfortunately (there's an AllCast for FireTV, so Amazon may consider the Chromecast version a competitor)
actually if you haven't already, use 700 of those coins to buy GTA and get an additional 2000 coins. this plus the info above left me with a bunch of free apps (which you don't have to install if you don't want) GTA which i believe is for Fire TV and therefore have no use for. plex, avia and $22 in coins to use for future purchases. Thanks for reminding me to try my US account and not just my canadian account. Thought I was SOL.
Amazon have lost their minds. With all the promos they're offering this weekend, I've so far downloaded 3 paid apps I wanted for free, and ended with $30 in app store credit to spend in future. Since you can start with a free download that gives you some credit, and then leverage that to give you back more credit than you spend, I bet with a little work you could end owning every app that Amazon offers and still have a $1 million credit!

Those free coins doesn't happens usually. I'm too with like 3300 coins ($33) in my account. If I'm not wrong, they expire after a year.

Yes, these deals are infrequent. You are also correct - promotional/bonus coins expire after a year, but they are used before purchased coins when redeeming, so as long as you get something with coins every now and then, you will be fine.
But for some reason Amazon is giving away more coins than advertised at the moment. For example people buying GTA San Andreas for 699 coins are getting back 2500 coins instead of the advertised 2000. I bought a 99 cent app offering 30 coins back and got 200 coins instead. Ditto for other apps offering coins.
Yeah.. I saw that. Probably a bug. I evem bought one and the coins didn't change.
Nice find. Any other recommended apps? I am in Canada as well, just had to indicate a US address on account. Hope this does't spoil it. Had to purchase the San Adreas via PC but I don't have a kindal Worth for the bonus.
Looking to spend the rest of these coins too, any other apps recommended? Don't have too many via Amazon, picked up the Avia for sure or was it Plex, i dunno, i like free stuff.
Thanks OP and follows ups for the tips.
FYI i was using a VPN via phone to make purchases however, online just had to log into account.
So you just put a US address on your Canadian account and it worked?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Many of the Amazon app special offers are U.S.-only, and while Amazon coins are now supported in several countries, they aren't yet in Canada. But all you have to do to take advantage of these offers if you have an existing Canadian Amazon account is change the country in your account settings to United States, and give it any U.S. address (tip: you might want to choose a tax-free state, because taxes do apply to digital purchases). You don't have to use a VPN.
You could also create a separate U.S. Amazon account, but be aware that Amazon apps are DRM-restricted to one account. Every time an Amazon app runs on your Android device it checks the current Amazon account login on the device to make sure it matches (you will be prompted to log in if you are not currently logged in to Amazon). The app will refuse to run if the device is not logged in to the correct Amazon account. You can only be logged in to one account at a time. If you have some apps purchased through one Amazon account and some purchased another Amazon account, you will have to keep switching accounts to run them. There is no way to consolidate app purchases on different accounts. However apps purchased by one account with different countries selected at different times are fine because it's all one account. And you can use the same account and purchased apps on any number of devices.
Thanks for that breakdown. I had originally used my separate account for the US stuff and put that on my tablet. but getting my canadian account recognized was the better move. wish I had learned of this sooner but still took advantage of this promo.
