QUOTE(benny888 @ Sep 22 2012, 02:19 PM) Potential buyers - reminder get it before end Sept so that you can redeem US$25 of free playstore credits. You can use this to buy any stuffs in playstore. I spent all on several ebooks as I have already bought most of the commonly used apps Uncle Ben Do u remain connected to VPN in order to get/purchase ebooks? I hav disconnected my VPN (after I got the USD25) and now I got message `...is not available in ur country' when I try to access/purchase ebooks from store.. Any other suggestion to get access?

I have been trying to redeem the USD25 but couldn't get it till now, after attempting the method suggested here by using 4 different credit card, the result were two of my credit card got charged for USD1 and another one USD3!
21-Sep-2012 PREAUTH SALE GOOGLE *MARKETPLACE\\GOOG DATED 21/09/12 US$1.00 RM1.02
I wonder what went wrong during my process, i rather not have the USD25 if google is going to charge me for it.

Just bought two sets C90 from hotspot from lowyat plaza, the seller won't budge in the price even though I bought 2 units + 2 SGP SP (at rm99 each)! Still a lot of stock there, I asked, the boxes you see on the shelf are empty.  I feel like supporting this shop, coz got total of 9 N7 units for testing, and a lot of stock too, the only shop i found to sell N7 screen protector as well. Thanks to the forumers here, i did a quick test on the speaker > 40% and also the mic. Seemed to work well. Never bothered about the screen lift issue. All the Test Units at the shop is also hooked up to WIFI + VPN, so you can actually see books, magazines, and movies from the test unit! This post has been edited by kiwlm: Sep 22 2012, 05:45 PM

One question about the USD25. I have read through: http://www.shahz.net/android/25-dollars-go...outside-us.htmlAt what point can I register my google account? At the end of the steps? Coz I thought the apps I buy is tied to my google account, I should register my google account first before buying the apps?

I have read the blog 3 times, it is not clearly mentioned in his blog, so I assumed it was the step when I was told to run Google Play. Somehow the popup doesn't happen, maybe because I already have a credit card associated with my account? what I did was go to a paid app, then there's one option to "Add card to get $25 credit", then I continued as in the blog.
