regarding the $25 Play Store credit
trainerKEN:
...so, I picked up my N7 last Friday at Staples, went home and immediately started the setup process. A couple steps into it, it asked for a credit card number for the $25 credit. And after trying 3 different credit cards I skipped the step because it kept saying something like "This credit card can't be used... etc etc." and had the option to skip the step, so I did. But I started thinking... I kinda want that $25 now... Anyone have any ideas on what to do from here?
in case you think I was using a debit/credit card, I was for one of them, the other two were actual credit cards.

I'm guessing it has to be the/a credit card you used in Google Wallet. Try that, & let us know how it goes.

Do you mean the credit card that's linked to the Play Store? If so, yes... I've already tried that CC

Why is it asking for credit card info for the $25 Google Play credit? Shouldn't that credit show up on your Google Play Wallet/account to use on Google Play? Does Google Play put $25 on one of your credit cards (a refund of sorts?) in hopes you'll use that card to made purchases on Google Play? Maybe I'm missing something?
Zell:
Ah... Just noticed you bought it at Staples not off Google Play. To get the $25 credit, Google Play needs you to set up a Google Play account (make sense) and placing credit card info on there may be part setting up the account, or at least it's optional. Just guessing it's information Google Play would like to have now when you start to buy, beyond the $25 credit, later.
