NO Credit Card to Buy apps.

Is there any prepaid visa cards you have tried on the market that work.If so which ones. I tried one but it didn't work. Thanks

The mall I work at sells visa cards and if you register the card through the site you can use it for online purchases. Even has a CSV number on the back. Check your local mall they should have them.

Open a Paypal account and use their virtual account number. The card number even comes with a CVC.
You can fund the account with a debit card or ask a friend with a credit card to make a transfer into your paypal account for you when you give him/her some cash.

I use american express gift cards they work fine just remember the name on the card is not your name but "a gift for you" use your or a nearby address just purchase them around your same zipcode and there shouldnt be any problem,just a heads up the cvc(or whatever it is) code for this method is the 4 numbers above card number on right side of card NOT the 3 numbers on back of card.

Free credit for those outside of supported countries

Hi all. I was wondering how many of you guys outside of the US, UK, Australia or any of the non supported yet countries have managed to claim the $25credit? Seems like some weren't able to managed to do so. This thread aims to help those who aren't able to do so, kindly post if you were able to or not able too.
Basically just in this format
Country:
Able to gain the free credit? :
If yes, kindly explain a little. Does your Google wallet have a card attached to it? US Address? And any info which might help
Thanks

interested on this again as i am from an unsupported country. waiting for my nexus which will come from the US. im from the philippines by the way.

Same here, from Israel, waiting for my Nexus 7 from US.

Just got mine in Portugal.
It was purchased from Ebuyer UK and as far as I've been told, all units purchased from them have the £15 Free Credit to spend in the Google Play Store. However, it seems i don't have it yet.
And yes, I have my credit card data linked to my Google Wallet account.

Same in Netherlands.

I tried to no avail. I guess the credit comes with the Google Wallet app, and that one doesn't work yet here in the Netherlands. Perhaps a proxy will do the trick.

It shouldn't, since the wallet app is US only atm. Maybe it's linked to the UK play store?

Is there a way to get it outside the selected countries?

You get the credit when you link your Google Wallet to your device.
Google Wallet will need to be backed up by a credit card/bank account in one of the 4 release countries. While you could use a proxy to sneak in you are not going to have the financial details you will need to create it. You would of course also be breaking Googles TOS which leads to termination of your account.
By Google Wallet I am talking about: https://wallet.google.com/ account not the associated NFC App which is USA only. You can have an account without the App.

Can it be done by say....
1. Borrowing a US credit card . adding it then deleting it after getting the free credit?
2. Adding a prepaid credit card?
Oh do you get the free books and the Transformers movie off the bat or do you need to activate the free credit to get those too?

Finally I know why I can not use the US$25 credit from Nexus 7 purchasing.

Everyone know that Google give you US$25 credit when you purchase Nexus 7 and you get the notification that US$25 is in your payment option of Wallet account. But you can not use it when you want to purchase applications. I try to send three mail to Play support and get nothing positive replay.
Finally the grey US$25 credit is due to my fault to register my home address as TW when I open the wallet account. As soon as you register the country then you can not edit it to US. Therefore you can not use this US$25 credit in US because I register TW as my home address. This is not related to you use US IP address or not when you want to purchase application in Play store.
So, take my advice. If you want to open a new wallet account, just make sure you register your home address as US country. If you register any country other than US, you can not get it back to US. BTW, you need the US IP to register the home address as US.
Someone say you can reset the Nexus 7 and then register with other GMail account then you get extra US$25 credit. I follow this steps and open a new Wallet account with US address as home address. I just receive a mail that I have activated a Nexus 7 with this GMail account but I wait over 24 hours, I do not get the mail of US$25 credit as other GMail address I use no-US home address.
It is pity that Google does not settle agreement with Taiwan authority about the refund policy of payment, so I can not purchase application in Taiwan. My situation now is I have US$25 credit as optional payment but it can expense in Taiwan market ONLY. I have to wait until Google have agreement with Taiwan authority. Please note that this US$25 credit is ONLY valid until June 30, 2013.

I had no issues with the credit and my address is registered as in Australia.
The credit automatically appeared without any changes or intervention by me.

Same here...
I registered it in HK. And the credit was OK for a while. But someday Google start enforcing the so called home address, my credited is locked up. And I have no way to use it unless I went back to HK maybe.
This is really ..., while Google has not warning or give not way to alter that setting once it is done. And to be honest, the CS provided by Google is useless... they could only do copy&paste.

Hell, I never received a mail about those $25

It is shamed that Google lock the modification of home country, so its gift is not valid for people outside US.
I just put this thread to warn people to set home country as US when you sign in Wallet account if you want this credit become valid for purchasing on Play Store.

Must just be certain countries, but it's certainly not US only.

[Q] Problems buying a Moto X via MotoMaker outside US

Someone was kind enough to give me a Moto X promo code so I signed into MotoMaker, chose a color scheme, punched in the code, submitted an address in the US of a friend that would send me the phone, but my credit card won't get processed.
It's a valid card with sufficient funds,it's also the same card that is associated with my Google Wallet account but still it gets the "can't process" error.
What should I do (I've tried other credit cards, none of them would work) was it a temporary mishap, do I need to use a credit card that was issued in the US? do I need to login from a US ip address? Would appreciate the help.

I believe I read on moto's g+ billing and shipping address have to be in U.S.

Unfortuantely, confirmed by a Motorola rep on motorola forum what shane said:

Can you get someone in the US to buy you the phone and ship it to you?

My other option is to have him use my card from his side, would that work?

In the link I posted, they apparently don't accept foreign credit cards, so I don't think that would work; not to mention, the problem of your CC billing info not matching his shipping info.

The problem is not the place where the card is used but where is issued. So unfortunately you can't achieve anything with inserting your credit card data in the USA.

I decided to go the 'entopay' route, hopefully their verification process gets sorted before the promo code expires.

Yep, hence why I said "foreign credit card" as in a credit card issued outside the US.

I'm trying my luck via: entropay<dot>com still waiting on validating my card though. You can also try buying a prepaid card like someone else here suggested.

Entropay is no good. What else can I do?

Hi, did you already charge up entropay and tried to buy the Moto X with it?

Isis Wallet: free $50

Just wanted to make sure everyone knows that you can get $50 free if you sign up for a free account in Isis Wallet, one of the bloatware apps that comes with the GS5. This happens through American Express. It's a free $50 you can use on "tap and pay" places. American Express will also send a physical gift card if you don't want

Confirmed.

Isis couldn't create an account for me for some reason.... 3 attempts 3 failures.
Anyone else?

Just makin sure, before I sign up, I can cancel my serve account anytime right? Like if I cancel it next month lol

After you set up your Isis wallet you'll then sign up for the Serve American Express prepaid card. There's no fee and it takes 5 minutes. After you've signed up, they will deposit $50 into your Amex card. Then the Amex card is linked to your Isis Wallet account. They'll also send you an actual Amex prepaid card.

We have 2 Phones on 1 account (AT&T Next plan) and both lines were able to get the $50!
The fine print says sub-accounts are not eligible but not knowing this my GF signed up on her M8 and got the $50 bucks.

I've had nothing but problems signing up for this. I had an existing Bluebird account, which, I found out, you cannot have both. So I took the balance to zero, and waited for all the pending transactions to clear. Called up Bluebird and confirmed cancellation of the account. When I told them that I wanted to sign up for Serve, I was advised to use the same exact information that was on my Bluebird account to apply for the Serve account. Otherwise, I would have to wait 30 days for my Bluebird account to be fully deleted from their system.
When I signed up for Serve, I got to the first page, and it told me my number was already registered. I called Serve and spoke to a supervisor who went into my Bluebird account and deleted my phone number for that account and had me re register again. I got to step 3, and got an error that "due to technical difficulties we cannot register you at this time." The supervisor checked and said that he checked with the technical team and that the Galaxy S5 in particular was having issues with signing up for a new Serve card from within the app.
So, I'm not sure what to do here... My wife has an S4 but the ISIS app says it needs a new SIM to work... might be time for her to upgrade anyway LOL

I have got it working, if anyone is experiencing any issues it might be because you need a SIM card with safe element to make it work and also try to do it in the morning or at night when their servers aren't packed with people doing it and remember this is good until the 30th of April this year!!!!!

My wife still has the older SIM, so it wouldnt work for her. If I put my SIM in her phone I get the same error. It's because I had a Bluebird account. Despite what multiple reps told me that all I needed to do is to put my exact same information that I had on my Bluebird account into the Serve account, I still cannot complete the process. Serve has blamed my phone, the S5, but as I said, it also happens with my wife's S4 with my SIM in it.

You also get $1 back on every Amex Serve purchase of $1 or more for a little while.
You can really stretch this free money if you have an ISIS vending machine.
We have one at work that charges $1.25 for a soda. Amex Serve $1 off per transaction = 5 sodas for $1.25. After 5 ISIS taps, you get $5 in free credit on the machine.
So for $1.25 total, you can get 9 sodas.. lol.

I just did it now and worked like a charm.... took a few minutes to add the $50.

All you need to do is bring her phone yo your ATT store. Ask for a new sim with secure element and have that sim card ICC ID be associated to your wife's phone number.

Ok, but other than her also getting the $50 what's the point? I have a Galaxy S5 which needed the newer SIM, and have already tried in her phone

My questioning to everyone is this in anyway linked to my at$t Bill just got m8 worked over Wi-Fi like a charm just seems to good to be true
