[Q] Can i pay Play Store developer fee with Play Store gift card? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear xda members,
I have some trouble getting a credit card ready to pay with Google Wallet so i can enter the Play Store.
But i can buy a Play Store gift card. Can i redeem the gift card and pay the developer fee with the money that came from the gift card?
If not, are there any other options to pay the fee with PayPal or without a creditcard?
Many thanks,
Tim

DAMMMMM!

How can I add this stupid Visa Gift Card into Google Play! WTF.....Seriously Google, seriously?!
I been searching online, googled it and all. Can't find a dam answer!
And it clearly states it supports Visa gift cards. (on policies)
Try adding it as a credit card in account settings, that might work
Thanks man! I ended up going to a RadioShack and buying a Google Play Redeem Card for $10 bucks with the visa gift card.

[Advice] Google Play Store Payment

Hey,
Just looking for a bit of assistance and please excuse if this is the incorrect place. I'm currently getting a Nexus 5 from the play store in Australia and was wondering about payment methods, the reason behind this is because:
a) I'm not in a supported County of the play store
b) I own a debit card
While I know play store accepts debit cards this doesn't help much. So iv managed to get hold of a friend in Australia who will get the device for me when it comes available again and I'll sort out my own private shipping from him to me. Anyways my main question was:
What would be the best method to get my funds to him? Iv got plenty options like PayPal the funds to his account which he can then use his own debit card to pay for it or would a Google wallet transfer be a better option? Last one is it possible to purchase from the play store using his (the Australian friends) Google wallet?
I'm trying to make the process as smooth as possible since he is really helping me out, I don't want to back door Google and go via a VPN when I can try resolve this easy with a simple question.
Regards and thanks in advance

you can use western union, they are every where and can transfer within the day
.
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.​
Western Union charges. Paypal is instant and doesn't cost anything under a certain amount if I'm not mistaken. I've used PayPal to xfer money to friends and it works great. They don't even need a PayPal account. Once you send a payment to an email, they will get an email to open up an account to collect the money. Also the android app works really well for personal payments, not to mention that you can get a debit card from them that costs nothing and gives cash back on purchases.

Seems PayPal would be my best bet

Dear All XDA Developers.
I have an HTC One V and was looking at Google Play Music to store up to 20,000 songs for free. However, I don't have a credit card (as I am only 14). is there any workaround, or any other workaround, preferably for free?
Many Thanks

Such an old post but, what the heck? There's no way to get the all access pass for free. IF you have cash, just go to your local gas station or retail store such as Walgreens or CVS and buy yourself a prepaid debit card and purchase it with that. I'm not sure if you have to be 18 to buy one though, give it a shot

[Q] redeem play store gift card overseas

I would like to give a play store gift card to my cousin as a gift, but she lives in Bangladesh and I live in Canada. According to the Redeem A Gift Card page, a gift card "Can only be used to purchase or rent content sold in local currency. " How can I pull this off? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

After reading a bit more about your question I stumbled upon this that gives you a better answer, "If you purchase a Google Play gift card or redeem a promotional code in Australia and then travel to Germany, you won’t be able to redeem your Google Play balance since paid content is sold in Euros." Since Canada uses the Canadian Dollar and India uses the Indian Rupee, it will likely not worked based on the statement above. While not as elegant you could send your cousin some money to buy things in the Play Store.

Transfer Samsung pay credit to bank of America?

I have $200 on my Samsung pay visa card. Is there any way to transfer it to my bank of America account?

U need to go and tell them u want to deposit 200$ from that visa card to ur account. That's what I did with my T-Mobile's BOGO master card.

BoGo money is different from.this 200$ reward..for BoGo you get a prepaid card but for this they will add the points to your Samsung pay
Samsung pay rewards can be treated as debit. I just ran down to wally world earlier and grabbed a prepaid mastercard and loaded it up in store, paid with the samsung prepaid visa card via MST since theres no native samsung pay in my walmart. Had to make the value + activation costs less than the total balance on my samsung rewards card. I did it by $5, worked for me. I was hoping to load the giftcard back into samsung pay and milk some more rewards out of it, but that particular brand (vanilla) of gift cards is incompatible with samsung pay. Was hoping my mastercard gc would let me get that $10 gc from amazon and get a little more money out of the system.

I tried that with the BOGO Mc. Didn't work even tho the issuing bank was on the list.
If you want Samsung Pay gift card transferred you need to purchase a physical gufy card and use that to get the cash. Will be like a 5.95 fee

Can we use that gift card to get cash? How can we do that?
Update: I bought American Express bluebird prepaid card and paid with Samsung pay. I can then transfer the American Express money to my bank account...
