[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.

Daydream Promo Code?

Has anyone who preordered from Google gotten their promo code yet? Anyone know when they're supposed to start rolling out?

I thought I saw 3 weeks after, I actually just asked the same thing, guess I should go delete the post, also wondering if I missed my emailed code!

I talked to support they said we should receive a code 3-4 weeks after phone shipped

So maybe another week?

Please note, not all Pre-Orders are eligible for the Promo code. The terms of the promotion explicitly said "While supplies last". I suspect that they had a limited allotment of promo codes. I ordered on October 5th and 6th for both of my devices. During this time the promotion was still advertised. I went back later (October 17th to check on the availability of the Really Blue, and the promotion was no-longer being displayed.)

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
