[Q] How to donate if no credit card and no paypal?

I don't have paypal and am having grief setting up a pay-as-you-go credit card for Google Play and I want to donate to the developers who without which I wouldn't have been able to unlock my phone and or learn about programming Android devices (apps, ROMS, etc...) so that I can one day do the same as them. I didn't have the money to be about to donate before and now I have a few bux I wanted to give them some for all their hard work and because I believe in they way they do what they erm do. Sorry about the cliche am tired. lol Anywho thanks for any help. And short of contacting them individually I don't know what to do about it.:crying:
in my country you can buy some legal paypal funds..
do you at least have a debit card cuz you can donate via paypal even if you don't have an account, you just need a debit card or you can buy one of those prepaid visa or mastercard in a supermarket, pharmacy, etc.

I do have a debit card and it's also a pay-as-you-go VISA but it doesn't work for Google play or any of the places online that I have tried to use it. Ironically it is why I got it in the first place. lol. I don't have PayPal account. I sold something on eBay and was naive and skimped on cheaper shipping without a tracking number, and because the buyer said he didn't get the item they sided in his favor, so I can't use them. I have a friend that buys parts/etc for me on eBay for me but that doesn't help for Google play and buying/donating to apps. I am in Canada so if you know of a prepaid visa or service I can use to load my Google play account please let me know and I will get it. That way I can get the donate keys for the apps and pay for the XDA app etc...

[Q] Question for Canadian users of the Play Store.

I'm unsure if this is the best place for this thread, so move if needed...
Just before getting my Nexus 7, my wife and I finally paid off all our credit cards and got rid of them all. I expected that if I wanted to purchase something from the Play Store, I could simply use a prepaid Visa/Mastercard (I don't purchase many apps, so I can deal with silly fees on these things).
Anyway, I've had various friends tell me that they've never been able to get these to work on the store. So, I'm asking you....do you know of any prepaid cards that will work on the Play Store in Canada?
Thanks.
Not sure about the "Gift" type of prepaid cards work, but I have a Visa Titanium (pre-paid, reloadable) from MoneyMart that I use for online shopping and I can confirm that it works with the Play Store.

Thanks, I'll look into that.
I use Mastercard Vanilla cards (prepaid) and then just register them to the USA.
Believe it or not, 90210 counts as a valid zip code! (like the show haha)
Anyways, register it on the Mastercard Site, (just Google Mastercard vanilla) and then go to the play store, add funds and enter the card number.
Works for me like a charm, hopefully works for you!

Welp, decided to answer my own question.
I picked up a $25.00 Visa Gift Card from my local grocery store, and it works perfectly.
All that's needed is to register the card with your name and address on the issuer's site. Google then allowed the card to be added in Wallet easily.
The one I purchased had a $3.95 upfront fee and no other fees after that. So, that's fair enough in my book.

Play store - pay with gift card+credit card?

Hi,
I have a gift card balance and im lacking 2$ on it to make a purchase. So i thought about adding my credit card to pay for those 2$ (i don't pay bank fees on this), but it seems to only allow me to use one or the other, not a combination of both. Am i missing something here? Is there a way to do this or google doesn't allow it?
Thanks!

Google Play gift card

Hey there i have a question wish someone help me. In my country google play gift card isn't available. Can anyone tell me how can i buy google play gift card? Also can buy steam or origin key? Any online store or trusted seller? Please kindly help. Thanks in advance
Hi, I guess that if you can't buy it phisically in a store the alternative would be to look for online resellers and buy the digital code from there (don't know which websites are reliable tho).
But this would be an option only if you want to give the code as a gift, otherwise there is no point in buying a card with a credit card when you can use it directly in the play store itself.

Google Play Gift Card

It has only been a few days, I think Google has caught on. Now Google Play Gift Card Redeem is now geolocked.
So here's the story my google account is set up as India as the country of origin. Bought a giftcard, I tried to redeem it but unfortunately it showed me an error. Saying it is only redeemable of the country of purchase.
I used a paid VPN to see if it works and still no luck.
The feature used to work a few months back Now it doesn't.
Does anyone has a fix for it ?

Did u brought it on websites like ebay
Update: I found a website that will or should explain everything about this issue here's the link
Google Play Gift card complete transaction error reported to Google
Google Play Gift card transaction reportedly won't complete as Google Play throws error, issue acknowledged and reported to Google.

I think you'd better contact the customer service of Google Play Store for help.
has anyone found a way around that? I bought one of amazon today for an indian account and get the same message. How does google detect the country u are in? Maybe someone knows a way to get Indian residential IP? I am using PIA for vpn so far
