Dear All XDA Developers.
I have an HTC One V and was looking at Google Play Music to store up to 20,000 songs for free. However, I don't have a credit card (as I am only 14). is there any workaround, or any other workaround, preferably for free?
Many Thanks

Such an old post but, what the heck? There's no way to get the all access pass for free. IF you have cash, just go to your local gas station or retail store such as Walgreens or CVS and buy yourself a prepaid debit card and purchase it with that. I'm not sure if you have to be 18 to buy one though, give it a shot

Haha this was ages ago. Yup, have it sorted it out now. I bought a play credit card.
Thanks though

I noticed on some third party sites that the HTCEVO4GLTELMNOP came with a $10 Google Wallet credit. Does anyone know if this is also included in Sprint.com preorders?
They just added Google Wallet as a payment option at my grocery store so I might actually get some use out of it now.
You automatically get that $10 when you sign up for Google Wallet by default. What would be nice is if we got the extra $40 the Galaxy Nexus owners got. But we probably won't.

I noticed that as well. I do happen to have one but only use is as a backup or for emergencies. I'm hoping they open it up to other cards soon.

You dont have to use a citi card. You can use a prepaid google card funded by any of your existing cards. http://www.google.com/wallet/how-it-works-payments.html

I wonder how those "top up" charges will appear on my Chase credit card? If it's just a regular purchase, that's fine, but it would conceivably post as a cash advance or something. I think I'll set one up and add $10 or so to it and see what happens. Thanks for the link!

That actually makes perfect sense.
Well, it's done! I got the free $10 and added $20 with my Chase card. Now I just need to find a place to try the damn thing out.
Mine keeps failing to add/create the prepaid card. Any tips to get it to add?
Not happy that you can't buy a gift card with a regular debit card HAS to be a credit or non-pin number signature type card. I can find other uses for NFC.

Haven't tried adding anymore other than the initial $10 but why not just add to the google pre-paid card and use that. (unless that's what you're referring to) All the places you can add giftcards for accept it, whether it be paypass, or a google wallet location so just use that.
To the person asking about where you can use it. Go to the google wallet website, you can look up nearby places that use it. There are actually more places than listed on the site as well. Because they are partnered with mastercard, as long as the store accepts mastercard paypass you can use your google wallet there.
Hopefully they can get other issuers on board aside from Citi MasterCard, however as with all new things, everyone is doing their own thing instead of trying to form a standard. That is until one becomes more popular than the other. I believe Visa is partnering with Isis as well as some other vendors.
Got another $10 from google. Activated just fine for me. When I get my other $65 transfered over i'll have $75 on google. Thanx and go android!

Because you need that credit or non-pin card to attach it to the Google pre-paid card, that's what I was getting at.

From what i have read even though it says you cant use debit cards as long as it has a visa or mc logo and is not a straight pin debit card it should still work fine.

Whats your error? Mine says NFC is disabled even though it isn't, and the checkbox for NFC in the settings area is flakey (shows as checked, try to uncheck it and leave/come back and its checked again). Is my NFC chip broken?

have you tried rebooting? if not, try it. if you did, go to power>uncheck fastboot, turn off phone, turn on again. sometimes it just needs a good power cycle to straighten itself out esp if you havent really turned it off since you got it (me)

Oh ok, as I stated I haven't really added money yet aside from the initial $10. As another user pointed out, is the debit card you're using an ATM-Only card or is it a debit card backed by MasterCard or VISA?
listin i been trying to figure out how to buy an app with the 10$ thats on my card.. and it wont let me??? am i missing somethin... gives me the option to bill my sprint account.. add card...redeem.. i push redeem then it says gift card code.. i put the number on the 10$ card and it keeps saying invalid gift card code?????? WACK!!!!!!
No you can't, at least from what I've read (I wondered the same thing). Google wants you to spend that $10 using the phone's NFC capabilities.
Actually I spent mine on a cheap mhl adapter by going to a site that accepts Google wallet
That's good to know. I was just going off of what I had read before because I was wondering the same as OP.

Well you couldn't until they upgraded to their new cloud payment system. Now any site (supposedly I only tried the one) that has a Google wallet logo allows you to make a purchase without having to sign up to the website, really convenient

What one did you try? It'd be pretty cool if Amazon or other major online retailers started accepting Google Wallet (though that wouldn't really add any convenience for most people, since I'm sure everyone already has an Amazon accounts).
I don't remember but I bookmarked it on my nephews laptop
Hey,
Just looking for a bit of assistance and please excuse if this is the incorrect place. I'm currently getting a Nexus 5 from the play store in Australia and was wondering about payment methods, the reason behind this is because:
a) I'm not in a supported County of the play store
b) I own a debit card
While I know play store accepts debit cards this doesn't help much. So iv managed to get hold of a friend in Australia who will get the device for me when it comes available again and I'll sort out my own private shipping from him to me. Anyways my main question was:
What would be the best method to get my funds to him? Iv got plenty options like PayPal the funds to his account which he can then use his own debit card to pay for it or would a Google wallet transfer be a better option? Last one is it possible to purchase from the play store using his (the Australian friends) Google wallet?
I'm trying to make the process as smooth as possible since he is really helping me out, I don't want to back door Google and go via a VPN when I can try resolve this easy with a simple question.
Regards and thanks in advance

you can use western union, they are every where and can transfer within the day
.
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.
Western Union charges. Paypal is instant and doesn't cost anything under a certain amount if I'm not mistaken. I've used PayPal to xfer money to friends and it works great. They don't even need a PayPal account. Once you send a payment to an email, they will get an email to open up an account to collect the money. Also the android app works really well for personal payments, not to mention that you can get a debit card from them that costs nothing and gives cash back on purchases.

Guys ymmv. I was just able to order from best buy a lg g watch for $99. She said they don't normally honor apple and other carriers but they wood override it. Awesome deal!
Congrats! I am planning on stopping in to best buy, I'll try and get a price match there. Hopefully they can do it
I tried to get a price match at bedt buy using the google play store and they wouldnt. They arent prive matching black friday items.
So i bought it anyways. They said i had till january to orice match or return. I figured it get to 99 again this month. Also if i dont end up likinh it i still have a month which is nice.
Got in the car and googled it and found this post. Went back in and talked to customer service. Verizon is not a black friday deal, so they matched it.
Went back to car and redeemed the google credit and that all worked as well.
So i got the google deal basically and have the watch in my hands now.
how did you get the $50 play credit...from best buy?

You make sure they have your email address at checkout. Then you get the $50 offer with your receipt and a copy emailed to you.
BestBuy already has $50 Play credit for the LG G Watch and most other android wear too.
I am going to try this Verizon matching thing, but I have not yet.
Good luck to all.

Bought the white LG g watch today but would not price match Verizon due to being the black Friday holiday. I plan on going by Tuesday and doing a refund and rering with price match.

? What? Thanks man! Calling in for price adjustment!
Sent from my Verizon LG G3 using Tapatalk
Just came back from my local BB and got the last 2 in stock! Saw it was sold out online and they didn't pick up the phone since it seemed a lot of people on hold ahead of me. Saw the reddit thread that people went in the store and found some. Got a black and a white, both for the 80 bux price each and the google play credit too Time to set it up!!
Yeah calling did me no justice in getting the $20 price difference credited. They said since it's out of stock and since they already did one price adjustment, and that since I already redeemed the Google play gift card, even buying one at a store now and returning the first order wouldn't work. I'm going to call back once more tomorrow and if I get tips no ill live with it.
Now lol had I paid 149 on Thursday and not $99 I'd be livid if they didn't adjust it.
It's interesting to see on best buy that the $50 Google play egift card says it's for Google wallet. I was able initially thinking the money could be used for merchandise or maybe possibly even on Google wallet transactions. But I'm not gonna complain!

U should see if you can call and get the $20 difference credited lol. They will probably say no but still worth a try.

Back in stock on bestbuy.com! Get them while they are hot!
sold out again
Wasn't clear from reading this... will Verizon do a price refund/adjustment to match BestBuy (ordered one for $100 online Thursday)? Also, will Verizon give the $50 Google Play credit (is it Google Play and BestBuy only)?
EDIT: chatted with Verizon sales rep... they do NOT price match. they do NOT have the Google Play $50 credit. No stocking fee on accessory returns : 1-800-922-0204, they are available between 6am and 11pm.
I was lucky for my wife to get the last one at $79. Cant be happier
Groupon.com has it too for $80 but I think without a Play Store Credit

How can we find out if Google would provide the $50 Google Play credit to LG G Watch buyers from stores other than GooglePlay and BestBuy?

the $50 credit is on your receipt from best buy you have to put in a redeem code at the play store.
Just got back from the store. They price matched the 79.99. This was also already on top of my first price match of 149 to 99.
One clerk said they can't do it since its a cyber monday sale and they didn't have it in stock. I told them that it was on sale yesterday. So they tried to see if they could do it anyways and they were able to. The other clerk liked the price and is now pondering on trying to get one online if it comes back in stock.
The play store credit does have the code on the original receipt for those that were curious on how you claim it. At least how its done if you purchased in store.
Just saw this from Google: This holiday season, use Android Pay with your Nexus and get a $20 Best Buy® e-gift card.

I've been using Android Pay at the vending machine all last week and this week. I also use it at my local gas station. Hopefully that puts me on the list for a gift card.
I've been using since I got my 6p. I checked the app this morning and the $20 gift card was in there!
Here is a pic with the numbers and bar code removed
Hopefully after I get back to stock, flash 6.0.1, flash systemless root, then try Android Pay I can get my gift card. I think since having a mistake on my mother's and Google's part(being negative on my Google wallet account) might hem me up though.

I used Android Pay on Tuesday night and this morning my Best Buy gift card showed up in my account. Looks like it takes about 2-3 days to show up :good:
Just got mine as well. Used it Tuesday night and it showed up today.
