Can anybody brief me on the fine print of this offer? How long until the codes expire? After redemption(is that even how you use the word?), how long do I have to spend it?

Is it like 6 months to expiry and 1 year to spend?

[One (M7) General] WorldIRC:
So...I have a Canadian Google Play Account, but I have AT&T Account, US Address, US Visa. (I do live in Canada though but did try doing everything from the United States).

Unfortunately though, because the account was initially opened in Canada, there was no way to convert to a US account.

I emailed Google Support asking if there would be a way to convert the CA$ account to a US$ acount based on having the above prerequisites. I was informed that due to technical limitations, it would not be possible at this time to convert the account and because the GCs were issued in US$, they would not be able to redeem on my existing play account. They suggested creating a second account.

Obviously, this was not acceptable so I replied asking if they could, due to the exceptional circumstances, redeem the 2 US$ $25 GCs that I had in CA$ for me. Without hesitation, they added $50 CA balance to my Google Play account.

Very happy!
[One (M7) General] howipig:
WorldIRC,

Why would create a second account be "not acceptable" for you?
[One (M7) General] WorldIRC:
I don't want two Google Play accounts to manage the 100+ apps that I have. It just doesn't make logistical sense. I used to have two iTunes accounts (Canadian account for paid purchases, US account for promo code purchases - social media)...worst thing to manage. Eventually Apple allowed promo codes to be redeemed on the Canadian store but by then, I had 50+ apps in the US account. Doing updates was a pain, multiple logins and passwords (which always had to be changed). I vowed never to do that again.

Plus, living in Canada, I do need the credit to be in Canadian, redeemable in the Canadian play store.

I was willing to have the account converted, but was able to use their own inability to assist in my favour.
[One (M7) General] howipig:
WorldIRC,

I see. If Google could have something like PayPal with multiple currencies tied to the same account, then would you find it acceptable even the exchange rates may not always be favourable?
[One (M7) General] WorldIRC:
Yes I would -- but they don't. 1 account, 1 currency. And that currency cannot be changed. Once Play Store is registered in Canadian, it remains in Canadian.

They do allow Google Wallet / Checkout to contain credit cards from multiple countries, and those cards can be used to make purchases on the Play Store in any country (e.g., I can use my US Visa to purchase on my Canadian Google Play account). But when dealing with Gift Cards and Google Play Account location, the initial registered country is what sticks.
[One (M7) General] adyscorpius:
I dont know why you guys are giving away your codes. Cuz I just redeemed my code sitting in India... :P
[One (M7) General] TheNightHawk223:
Well, I was looking forward to getting a break in the form of a $25 gift code, but it seems that the website is broken, http 500 error. Gotta say, this was a letdown :(

[One (M7) General] monkeypaws:

[One (M7) General] TheNightHawk223:
Ah, just noticed. Oh well.
[One (M7) General] edw1nyang:
Btw do anybody got the same problem with me? I've redeemed my promo code but when I want to purchase something, it said something like transaction can't be done because of high risk. (Something like that, I don't remember how exactly the words are) any solution?

Actually he can, man. That's not free anyway, because he bought an HTC One when it's on promotional time. Just consider that as a reward/bonus. No offence.
[One (M7) General] fraehngi:
So the code is gone
[One (M7) General] DNA89:
Yes he can as i said earlier. We got this code because we bought a very expensive phone. I wouldn't sell it if i could use it! But no way i am making a second account for it.
[One (M7) General] speedyjay:
It was my code and I done what I thought was best. Not ruling out someone who hasn't contributed to the community because we all have in some way or another. Without us ALL, xda wouldnt be here dude.

ahh uh like ahh Dude , ahh like it was a suggestion ahh dude, like ahh you know take a chill pill or somehting ahhh uh dude
[One (M7) General] speedyjay:
And I was just commenting on the suggestion, it wouldn't be fair for me to not include everyone in the HTC One section (if you wish) of xda and just limit it to a few people, because we've all contributed.

[One (M7) General] cuyo11:
same here :crying: but maybe is more fair that way the first lucky that sees the code is the winner xD
[One (M7) General] saucyross:
you SHOULDN'T expect to make money off of something you got for free.
[One (M7) General] DNA89:
If whatever i get is for free or not doesn't matter, as long as it has value i or anyone else can sell it. Many of you say we should not, but only in the hopes of getting these codes.
[One (M7) General] saucyross:
you think everyone who disagrees with you wants free handouts? no point in continuing this as you're too incompetent to see how this is wrong, ripping off fellow XDA members by charging money for something you got for free. cya
[One (M7) General] DNA89:
Wow, calling this a rippoff is kinda crazy. Why does it matter so much to give this away for free. I didn't get this for free! Don't you realise at all that only people that bought a HTC one got this code?! I didn't get my htc one for FREE! I paid over 600€ for it and i was one of the first to do that! Thats why i got this code and i can do with it whatever i want. Respect those people that give them away and stop ****ting on those that don't.
[One (M7) General] speedyjay:
Yeah, you paid for the device and not the code so technically, the code isn't included in the price you paid for the device and you knew full well that the $25 free gp voucher was US only which automatically excludes you anyways, why do you think I gave mine away for free?? It's a bit cheeky to sell something you got for free....
[One (M7) General] DNA89:
I got the code BECAUSE i paid for the device, whats your point?! --> i wouldn't get the code otherwise.

This all is stupid. If thats your opinon then so be it i don't care about it.
[One (M7) General] EclipzeRemix:
I never got my code

waited about 12 weeks and no code. thanks a lot HTC. you idiots
[One (M7) General] speedyjay:
No you got the code because you entered into something you shouldnt have entered into....I'm no saint, I done it too but I gave mine away because I didn't pay for it and it was useless to me!
[One (M7) General] pewpewbangbang:
On that note.....I'll still take a code. Bought my HTC during the time frame but didn't know bout the promotion till it was too late :mad:
[One (M7) General] Anon9mouz:
I respect ur answer not like the other guy above but kudos to u
[One (M7) General] tonytone215:
I had the code for over week and I still haven't purchase anything. I have all the paid for root apps (tb, root explorer, etc) anything else worth buying?
[One (M7) General] Anon9mouz:
U got this BC u entered a promotion for people in the USA read the title it says clearly USA in it hmm. Is that to hard for u to understand, self entitled people over here. U are not entitled to anything at all with ur international purchase plain and simple. So learn how to read. People like me that actually bought the device here in the USA can't even get a code because of guys like u so thanks.

[One (M7) General] speedyjay:
It's just nonsense dude, people charging money for something they got for free....it's ridiculous. If it's someone in USA charging money for it, yeah fair enough because they have actually paid for it. But anyone else around the world, total cheek!
[One (M7) General] killman2659:
I don't get why HTC let non-us costumers join in on the promotion. Not only is it costing HTC more money to get more codes, but it is probably the cause of the long wait time. I guess they got lazy and just approved every code request they got.

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 PM ----------

I recommend Smart IR Remote. It might not appeal to you if you are running HTC Sense since there is already a TV IR app, but it works wonders for those who have the Google Play edition. It even let's you control more things other than a TV and cable box.
[One (M7) General] speedyjay:
Possibly dude, who knows? But charging for something you (not you personally lol) got for free is outrageous
[One (M7) General] The Project:
You're sadly mistaken. We didn't get these codes for "free." We got them as an intensive to buy HTC's product and in the long run its the consumer paying for it.

pro-tip: We are the consumers!

2nd pro-tip: They are ours to do whatever we want with!
[One (M7) General] LiquidSolstice:
You are sadly mistaken. These are gift card codes and they fall under Google's terms of service:

Not only that, selling the codes on eBay violates eBay policy as well.
[One (M7) General] pandaball:
I won't go into whether it's morally acceptable to sell the codes, but Play Store TOS say that it's not allowed. Also, selling on the forum or otherwise advertising a sale on the forum is also not allowed, as per forum rules.

This is not the first reminder in this thread, so any further instances of people trying to sell the codes will be dealt with accordingly.
[One (M7) General] speedyjay:
I rest my case, Google Terms and conditions state clearly that the code must not be sold for cash. XDA have clearly said their is to be no selling of any kind within any forum. And eBay terms and conditions clearly state that codes that are redeemable are not to be sold whatsoever....so either way, people trying to sell them will lose. These are public forums, ebay is a public site, the terms and conditions are presented clearly....you never know who's watching these sites.

[One (M7) General] ryan09266:
I agree, pretty cool of them either way that this happened.
[One (M7) General] Firov:
I bought my HTC One a month ago, but I just got my code regardless.

Such an obvious ploy. First giving me 100 dollars for an old disused HTC Incredible and now 25 dollars for having purchased the phone at all. They just want me to do their marketing for them

Do they honestly think this is going to change anything? Are they really foolish enough to think that showering me with gifts and money is going to make me go out of my way to recommend HTC to my friends and family? If so, then I'd say they're pretty darned... perceptive! Because it is! :laugh: If they throw in a flashable Google edition ROM for us branded phone owners I might just have to build an altar to HTC in my bedroom.

Seriously though, while I'm quite pleased with the phone so far (best phone on the market) and with HTC's actions in general, all of these giveaways and handouts do concern me. I have to assume that HTC accountants figure that they can handle this, but is this really sustainable for them? They have to be hemorrhaging money as a result of these giveaways and gifts. Furthermore, the phone can obviously stand on it's own merits, so why are they doing this? I know that HTC is, unfortunately, in rough shape at the moment. If this is their way out of that hole I really hope it works out for them. I like this new HTC and I'd like to be able to buy their phones in the future.

I had also received $25 from HTC almost a month ago, for them apologizing for delayed(1 day) pre-orders. Originally ordering through HTC also got me $100 trade in for my blackberry 9630 (4 years old), along with a free double dip flip case.

$25+$25+$100+case just for pre-ordering.
