Just got an email from HTC for both phones that I've purchased (two emails).

The GCs are delayed, but will arrive in a few weeks. Totally automated, and not in response to a complaint I've made.
[One (M7) General] madmak:
Got an email from HTC saying that they are acquiring more codes and will be sending them out in a few weeks.
[One (M7) General] TheHeffNerr:
I just now got an email saying my code is on the way....... only took a month? So if you haven't got anything yet there is still hope!

*edit*

Wow, looks like I was late to the bump the thread party :(
[One (M7) General] killman2659:
I got a email as well :)
[One (M7) General] rudyy:
Just got the same email.
[One (M7) General] bourdier:
Just receive this email from HTC..

Just receive this email from HTC.. I registered my HTC One two months ago.......

"Thanks for Your Purchase

Our records show that you've recently purchase a New HTC One and registered to receive a $25 Google Play credit.

We apologize for the delay, but we are currently acquiring more Google Play codes to fulfill the overwhelming customer response to our offer.

We will email your Google Play code in a few short weeks, and appreciate your patience.

Thanks for your loyalty to HTC!"
[One (M7) General] milesjohnson:
Just received this email aswell after over a month of submitting my code and then waiting another week for some idiot to refer me to the "Trade up program" just to find out a week later that they directed me to the wrong department. So now I got to wait another couple weeks I guess while the other people who purchased theirs at launch managed to get it in two days. Frustrating kinda. :banghead:
[One (M7) General] The Project:
We all got the email yay
[One (M7) General] RobBull69:
SMH HTC can't get a launch or promotion right
[One (M7) General] MattDoza:
I just went through a few emails about the code and had support escalate the issue. I thought the email that everyone was getting was actually regarding my emails I had sent, before entering this thread. A "few short weeks?" :rolleyes:
[One (M7) General] I Am Marino:
As the rest of us, I got this e-mail as well.
[One (M7) General] monkeypaws:
I seriously think that they tried too hard to coax people with their offers because they didn't think the thing would sell. Now it did sell and they have to come through with their offers.
[One (M7) General] rotchcrocket04:
Better than disregarding everyone, I suppose?!

I got the email as well. It was a pleasant surprise.
[One (M7) General] monkeypaws:
Yeah me too. Glad they are acknowledging the calls.
[One (M7) General] killman2659:
At least after all this time of being silent they finally said something. They could've just ended up not giving the remaining codes since most people who have bought a One probably haven't even heard of the promotion;only us XDA users and tech followers probably knew of in anyway and we are a very small minority. :)
[One (M7) General] EclipzeRemix:
yea just got the e-mail aswell

hopefully we all get it soon
[One (M7) General] gpmartinson:
I called on Friday

I am going to let myself think that I got the ball rolling on HTC honoring their obligation here. I called and got a case number on Friday.
[One (M7) General] F2504x4:
:cyclops:Well well well , I got two emails stating the same thing, oh wait I already got my $25. From the E-department. If I do get the code I will not be redeeming them.
[One (M7) General] Anon9mouz:
Well I haven't gotten my emails for my two phones yet hmm
[One (M7) General] angel13th:
Just get mail today, which is surprise me, because I buy in from Thailand.
[One (M7) General] shook187:
I got the email for one of my phones but not the second phone which I got a week later and used a different email.
[One (M7) General] Anon9mouz:
That sucks, well I done escalated and everything and they told me something would happen soon so idk
[One (M7) General] grigdush:
Same and i'm from france.
[One (M7) General] Dr. lele:
I get a server error after clicking submit. Maybe they try to make it really USA only now.
[One (M7) General] speedyjay:
I'm in the UK and my HTC One was purchased in the UK and I got the email too lol
[One (M7) General] grigdush:
let's hope that we will have the 25$ :D
[One (M7) General] Matt:
Buying all these codes for $10 if you aren't from the USA or would prefer the cash :D
[One (M7) General] F2504x4:
ahh I think your offer should be more like $20 for $25...that is the going rate that I have seen on other sites...
[One (M7) General] ElBeaner:
Got an email for my HTC One saying the code will be coming in a few weeks(they are trying to buy more)
[One (M7) General] tbvnz:
Got one today as well.
[One (M7) General] Acill:
I also got the email stating they are waiting for more codes to come in.
[One (M7) General] sweetnsour:
Got my HTC One in the U.S. but I didn't get that e-mail :confused:
[One (M7) General] alfchan:
One month ago, and reply with delay
[One (M7) General] g2525:
Valid outside of US as well!

Guys, i just received the email telling me that I'll receive the code soon. The thing is, i bought my HTC One in Taiwan. Seems like they're honoring it as well! :)
[One (M7) General] xDARKFiRE:
you will get the code but it is only redeemable in the US playstore :(
[One (M7) General] jonas2295:
There is a trick to use it in countries outside the US.
[One (M7) General] xDARKFiRE:
How does one do that? :D
[One (M7) General] jonas2295:
Create a whole new Gmail account using a proxy connection over the US.

Don't give any info that you live outside the US. Find a us address if needed. Don't add a credit card.

That's how you get a extra Gmail account, you can add it in the play store app as second account. And then you can redeem the voucher.
[One (M7) General] Febby:
The waiting begins...
[One (M7) General] clsA:
I got it also.... Any suggestions on what to spend it on

I already have Tasker and XDA Pro

[One (M7) General] Anon9mouz:

[One (M7) General] ElBeaner:
Last thing I got was a week ago saying it would be a few more weeks lol
[One (M7) General] ZucchiniZe:
It is giving me a server error when I'm trying to get the code
[One (M7) General] insomnia:
Still waiting on this.... gonna get chromecast with it.
[One (M7) General] UCFour:
Sorry to say you cant buy Devices with promo codes

this applies only to apps,books,magazines,movies,music etc
[One (M7) General] sauprankul:
Yep, that was the first thing I checked.

P.S. the chromecast isn't worth getting anymore. You can only stream from big media companies. Google will never allow local streaming. Feeling like returning mine.
[One (M7) General] DroidRC1:
FYI doesn't not what Google said
[One (M7) General] sauprankul:
But it is what Google did.

Actions speak louder than words my friend.
[One (M7) General] I Am Marino:
Still waiting over here.

Tsk tsk.
[One (M7) General] insomnia:
Anyone not wanting it anymore, I'd take it of your hand for 25 shipped :)
[One (M7) General] kobezklutch:
Yep, same here. Didn't even know about this extra when I bought the phone, so I don't mind the wait at all, lol

It would have been great to stream local media. That was we could say goodbye to Mhl. That's probably why they don't do it. But I digress
[One (M7) General] Therach:
I received my code a while ago, and even though Google enabled the ability to use the codes to get credit on your account in The Netherlands, it still doesn't work. It simply says I'm not in the correct country to use it.

I added a screenshot of the error.

So what I want to do is give it away to someone that can use it! This means I only want to give it to someone living in the USA. Since I don't want to make it some kind of contest and spam this thread, I decided the first person with a decent amount of posts that lives in the USA will get it.
[One (M7) General] xl DIGITAL lx:
You received it today? Hopefully everyone gets theirs too. I don't mind getting this ;)
[One (M7) General] Therach:
Nope I got it 21st of June. It has been sitting in my mailbox since then! I'll send you a pm once I find out how :silly:
[One (M7) General] Fidelio_o:
I would take it of your hands. Plz and thank you.
[One (M7) General] Therach:
I gave it to xl DIGITAL lx, please let me know if you got it through pm since I'm not familiar with it!
[One (M7) General] Fidelio_o:
Alright. Cool.
[One (M7) General] xl DIGITAL lx:
Worked perfectly, thanks!
[One (M7) General] Anon9mouz:
I'll take it kind sir

Edit nvm
[One (M7) General] Anon9mouz:
I'm guessing everyone got theirs except me lol

I got error when I clicked submit. Is that server error?
[One (M7) General] sweetnsour:
Well, I never even got the email saying they would send it, so you're not alone :eek:
[One (M7) General] I Am Marino:
Still nothing for me.

I received no response either,but eventually the playstore code was sent via email.I also visited here time and time again thinking I did something wrong.

Sent from my HTC One
[One (M7) General] MViper79:
I have the code, but can't use it, since I'm not living in the states.

Who wants it? :) I prefer giving it to the devs, if they need it.. :)
[One (M7) General] isalas16:
Ill take it if you cant use it :P
[One (M7) General] drakeymcmb:
Hello I used to dev for the note 2 if you look through my topics. Can I please please have the code ?
[One (M7) General] Anon9mouz:
I'll take it and I dev
[One (M7) General] MViper79:
drakey was first, so I'll give it to him. Hopefully you're fine with that. :) If I get another one, I'll send it to you Anon.. OK?
[One (M7) General] Anon9mouz:
Sure it's all good
[One (M7) General] HomesliceOne:

[One (M7) General] theplatform:
Giving it a longshot living in Canada but I tried anyway. I received an email confirmation a couple of weeks back saying that they had run out of codes but I would receive mine in a few weeks. Still waiting and hopefully I'll be able to use it.
[One (M7) General] Febby:
I got the email on august 11th so its been a month now. We just got to wait and see I guess. :P

I only have two weeks left in the USA , I hope they will bring code fast or maybe I'll call them and try to get the code earlier.

[One (M7) General] milesjohnson:
Still waiting....already have my purchases all planned out for when it gets here (if it ever does)

Been a little over a month since I got the "few short weeks" email. Wonder who else I could contact to maybe make this a little faster
[One (M7) General] drakeymcmb:
Good things happen to those who wait .
[One (M7) General] AndrewM3:

I think HTC didn't expect there to be such a high demand or so many people to find out about this promotion. waiting over a month hopefully I get it soon.

[One (M7) General] Newcron:
According to the HTC offer page:

Some people, like me, bought the One way before June 14.
[One (M7) General] killman2659:
Just got my code!

And I got my one about a month ago xD

Sent from my HTC One running CM 10.1
[One (M7) General] hyelton:
Opps seemed like the person was meaning AFTER the period,

Oh so it started June 14?? I got mine way before that and got my code.
[One (M7) General] teiglin:
Have you heard anything back from them, or has anyone else had any luck contacting HTC about these codes? A month and a half since they sent out emails saying "a few short weeks" and nothing still; this is just getting silly.
[One (M7) General] KamikaZeeFu:
I still have a code that I can't use, since I didn't know it was limited to the USA :/
[One (M7) General] MPooZD:
Give me the code if you don't benefit from it ;) :laugh:

i'll try it ;)
[One (M7) General] Behold_this:
You guys need to keep in mind this was technically a USA only promotion. That being said, HTC USA is currently in complete shambles. They laid off 20% of their workforce and have absolutely no money to spend. They took their first financial loss last quarter and their cash flow is almost dried up. So if any of you think you're getting a free $25 gift card at this point, dream on. It's simply not going to happen. This promotion was mis-managed from the start and 100s of thousands (if not millions) of dollars were lost on sending promotional gift cards outside of the US, in direct violation of the rules of the promotion. Who violated those rules? HTC themselves! Those idiots can't even run a promotion correctly, following their own guidelines. So no one should be surprised when updates to their phones are slow, when new products don't release on time, etc, or even when they fail to make good on promised promotional claims. HTC is a broken company who shows little chance of pulling themselves out of the hole. They don't have the luxury of caring whether a few thousand people are pissed about a promotional gift card they never received. They have bigger problems than that.
[One (M7) General] F2504x4:
Yes I did get my Google play bucks , Here are a couple of posts I made about it a while ago...
[One (M7) General] Behold_this:
I believe they meant since HTC sent out the email saying it would be another couple weeks which was over a month. If I'm not mistaken you received your code in the first run, a long time ago (you posted on Aug 3rd that you had been given code). These emails were sent on August 13th and have not been honored, nor has any further response been given by HTC.
[One (M7) General] Behold_this:
this is the email I'm referring to
[One (M7) General] ElBeaner:
Called HTC today about this and was basic given some of the usual BS about them not having enough codes and wiating on Google to issue them more codes.

I escalated to a supervisor who essentially gave me the same BS answer.

I just love how they keep saying they're waiting on Google(basically passing the buck).

So as of this point, still in limbo.
[One (M7) General] clsA:
We have 4 HTC phones in the family now

My HTC One 32gig, Wife's HTC First, Kim's HTC First

and Jeanie's HTC One Mini, all purchased in the past 6 months

Come on HTC I'm doing my part. I received my $100 Trade up Visa for the One back in May, so the missing $25 Google credit is not going to kill me. I've also had 2 coworkers upgrade to the One after seeing mine. I sure Hope HTC can get it together soon.
[One (M7) General] dirtbikerr450:
can i get the code please
[One (M7) General] bytor7:
I received an email from HTC over a month ago that they were trying to get more codes from Google. How long does this normally take? I don't have time to call HTC go up the customer service chain.
[One (M7) General] teiglin:
This is what I was asking about earlier; I (and many others) got the same email and it doesn't look like anyone who received that email has had any luck getting their codes. But hope springs eternal!
[One (M7) General] WorldIRC:
I have single-handedly purchased 7 or 8 HTC One's (various reasons), two of which are US-based. I've done my part, I want my $50 in Google Play credit.
[One (M7) General] htcm7:
Me too, got email at August 14, no progress until now.

Bad service I think, just like they did to handle camera issue.
[One (M7) General] bobruels44:
I second this notion, should we all spam HTC's email inbox?
[One (M7) General] timmytim:
I registered my device back in July. I got the cookie cutter email on AUg 13th that they ran out of codes and are waiting for more, blah blah blah.

I got tired of waiting so I called them today. The guy I got was really nice. He told me that the codes come from Google in batches. He couldn't confirm when the next batch was due to go out but he stated that internal buzz in his dept says 2 weeks or so. I'll believe it when I see it.

Anyway, he took my info (name, number, date of purchase, and serial number) and escalated my request for the code to the Escalations department. He asked if I got the cookie cutter email from HTC and I said yes.

I spoke with an even nicer lady in Escalations and she said that a lot of people are calling about this and that they are starting to light a fire under Google.... haha, riiiight.

Anyway, call and complain that you never got it. You never know, maybe every voice counts and they woll get tired of hearing from the masses.
[One (M7) General] WorldIRC:

Lol, chill I was just havin some fun with ya, but actually it does matter. If you didn't keep your devices long enough for the carrier verification to take place (unless unbranded or dev edition) you won't receive the promo card and shouldn't! You didn't keep HTC's device. It's THEIR promotion for people who bought THEIR device to utilize. Not for people who bought Samsungs. Ask sammy for a promotion card, lol.
