Dear All,
I will be travelling to the U.S. this week and I would like to buy the Pixel 3 XL in the Google Store there as there is a pretty good offer for Black Friday.
I added my U.S. address on my Google Store account, but on the address appears the following message "this isn't a valid address", anyone has experienced a similar case?
I tried to use a Virtual VISA card and even using a VPN and creating a new google address but the message keeps appearing. Could it be that it's related that I have a European credit card?
Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing is it's because you're accessing Google from a foreign country.

Hi year2burn,
I created a new google account using my VPN with my U.S. address, even the flag was appearing on my account, but I'm still getting the error message.
Best regards
I have my cousin's US address and im living in Lebanon, I just ordered pixel 3xl black friday deal and the transaction was successful without any VPN usage
Are you using your Lebanese Google account and Lebanese credit card?
I have tried all possible combinations and I get always an error message because of the address.
Thanks

I ordered from this morning from US with no issues.
I managed too, the error message was appearing because my phone number was missing.
It's funny if you add the address using the Google pay settings there is no option to add the phone number and this triggers the error message when you check out.
The solution is to add the address when you check out, this one gives the possibility to add the phone number.

Yes sure , my google account is Lebanese, and the credit card is Lebanese too
Kindly note that The address that i used for shipment is the same for the billing one ( which is my cousin's house in the US) . so don't fill the billing address as ur current one

Hello,
I've just ordered a Nexus 5 from Google Play and sent it to a friend of mine in US.
I used my credit card but in the billing address I used the shipping address (in the US), so it will let me purchase is, because Google Play doesn't sell it in my country.
The order was successful, but I heard of people who ordered but later got their order declined because of their credit card country that mismatched the shipping address.
Does anyone know after how much time I can be sure my order "passed the test" and won't be declined?
Thanks,
Elad
How exactly does this feature work? When using it, do you need money in your account to pay... or does it add-on to the next time you pay?
I decided to give it a go to pay for an app, and I get
" Your purchase on your T-Mobile USA billing account was declined. Please select a different payment method. "
Any advice?
Google wallet allows you to either pay through your credit card, or charge it through your monthly phone bill.
For your case, refer to this https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/167794?hl=en

I've seen multiple threads where people decided to go with
" ...contact your mobile service provider. "
but from there, they didn't post if they go it working or not.

Isn't that the nature of people, to not reciprocate the help given to them. If they were still having problems, you'd bet they would be back for more rants. Either way, seeing that your carrier is supported, you shouldn't be having this problem in the first place. thus, contacting your mobile provider to find out the cause is your best bet.

I got my Android TV 2 weeks ago in the UK and haven't received any code. I assumed it's because it's not valid in the UK.
Thought so too, just asking if any USA people have had it yet and if so how long it took

Forgot about this, just asked where the hell mine is through CS.
I ordered on amazon and got the code maybe 20 minutes later after my credit card was charged.
I got mine from amazon and it was given by Amazon not google

I applied for my code 12 days ago and have not received it. Called Nvidia customer service twice and just posted on the GeForce forums. Hopefully that does the trick. Purchased in the US, from BestBuy.com.

Does anyone know if $50 promotional balance (once we get it in our account) can be used to buy pixel stand? The email says "get $50 to spend on google store".
Thoughts??

Of course. Anything that's on the Google store. The Pixel stand is sold on the Google store. It's what I'm planning on using mine $50 for.
How did you guys get the promotional 50?
I bought the phone recently and I didn't get anything. Wondering if I missed something??

I believe you had to pre-order it before release directly from google for the $50 google store credit.

Yes. From an email, "A special gift just for preordering.Exclusive to you, get $50 to spend on Google Store when you pre-order Pixel 3, plus get up to $300 back when you trade in your Pixel 2."

Alright... I didn't pre order it.
I preordered and didn't get it. I believe you had to be opted in to the Pixel newsletter or similar. Annoying.

I received an email a few days later telling me I had the funds coming to my account within a few weeks if the device wasn't returned. Contact Google and ask for the 50 since you pre-ordered it.

I'm still waiting on my $50 credit
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.
piunikaweb.com
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
