Hi, Just a quick question - as I can not seam to find any where to buy a gift card for Google play in the UK. Do they NOT exist yet?
How do others purchase gifts for other google users?!
Unfortunately no, however most internet purchase capable prepaid visa cards will work, but there's no way to just gift someone something

hey guys, i just recently got a sensation xe and was looking forward to filling my phone with apps but to my utter amazement i cant as it seems you can only buy apps using a credit card, which i dont have, this seems so backwards......do those pre-paid credit cards work ?. devs must be missing out on loads of sales because of this. please tell me what alternatives there are as i really want to keep my phone but if i cant buy apps, whats the point...?
cheers.....
I don't see why a prepaid wouldn't work as long as it's a legit visa or mc. the card will need the number obviously, an expiration date and a 3 digit security code.
You can use a prepaid credit card in the Market. They have nerly the same functions like an "real" credit card.
Only for rentig a car you should get a real credit card but for the android market ist prepait enough.
Yes you can get like a Visa gift card and just refill it as needed later...
It's been two years and until yesterday, I was still able to use my Australian credit card to purchase apps in their USD price by setting a US billing address in Google Wallet. But today it failed. This means, I will no longer able to purchase US market-only apps in the future.... sad.
Last year it were all good, I can even buy music in this way (through VPN + Market Enabler). Since this year, I found Google has gradually blocked fake address non-US credit card from buying in US Play Store. And all market enabler apps have been removed from Play Store now.
I'm just wondering, at this stage, is there still any way to purchase in US store, in US dollar, if you don't have a US credit card? Many thanks!

update:
in Google Wallet, the error message saying like this. Is that possible this issue caused by other reason?
Google has cancelled your order. You won't be charged.
Reason: Took too long to deliver
Comments from Google: "auto cancelation"
How can I add this stupid Visa Gift Card into Google Play! WTF.....Seriously Google, seriously?!
I been searching online, googled it and all. Can't find a dam answer!
And it clearly states it supports Visa gift cards. (on policies)
Try adding it as a credit card in account settings, that might work
Thanks man! I ended up going to a RadioShack and buying a Google Play Redeem Card for $10 bucks with the visa gift card.
I'm'm trying to purchase an apps or game in Google play store i get the message says This Payment method has been declined ! i tried 2 different visa card and no result

I have the same issue.
i have the same issue, i am using a UK sim, with UK cards and none of them are working.
I added paypal (via the Play store app) and that was also declined.
Needless to say all methods are active, funded and working elsewhere.
Any known issues or solutions to this problem would be appreciated.
CyanogenMod 12 Google Play Payment Declined SM-T320
I am having the same problem. I have used multiple payment types. My purchases are not being declined on other devices. I am using CyanogenMod 12 on SM-T320.
I went back to Samsung's stock rom and it works now.
I don't know if the latest CM release for the n7100 has resolved this issue...
I would like to give a play store gift card to my cousin as a gift, but she lives in Bangladesh and I live in Canada. According to the Redeem A Gift Card page, a gift card "Can only be used to purchase or rent content sold in local currency. " How can I pull this off? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

After reading a bit more about your question I stumbled upon this that gives you a better answer, "If you purchase a Google Play gift card or redeem a promotional code in Australia and then travel to Germany, you won’t be able to redeem your Google Play balance since paid content is sold in Euros." Since Canada uses the Canadian Dollar and India uses the Indian Rupee, it will likely not worked based on the statement above. While not as elegant you could send your cousin some money to buy things in the Play Store.
